LED Light Testing
Use an independent 12 volt
battery or a battery charger to test
the LED. Touch one wire to
each of the positive & negative
terminals. If the LED does not
light, reverse the wires & try
again.
NOTE: Reversing the
wires will not harm the LED.
Every LED has been tested prior to
shipping to insure ease of
installation.
Test Fitting
| 1. |
Carefully position the
spoiler & find the most
suitable location.
Stand back & view the car
from all angles to satisfy
yourself of its fit &
styling. |
| 2. |
Make sure the ends of
the spoiler are clear of the
bodywork by a minimum of
5/32" (4mm) & that the
spoiler will clear the
radio/telephone antennas
when the trunk is opened.
If you car is equipped with
a power antenna, special
caution may be necessary
during installation. |
Painting
Spoilers are made of durable
Polyurethane or ABS plastic
Blow-Molded & finished in a high
quality 2K primer. While you
may use any paint for top coat
spraying, we recommend 2K paint.
Inspect the spoiler for
imperfections. If required,
use the catalyzed body filler, rub
lightly with a Scotchbrite™ pad or
wet sand with fine sandpaper before
spraying the top coat.
It's advisable to test a small
sample of the paint on the underside
of the spoiler to insure good
adhesion & that no solvents in the
paint react with the spoiler's
material. For best results, it
should be air-dried.
LED Connection (if applicable)
If the car is equipped with a
third brake light, splice the wire
from the LED with the third brake
light wires.
NOTE: Before
permanent connection is made, test
the LED by stepping on the brake
pedal. If the LED does not
light up, reverse the wires.
If the car does not have a third
brake light, a connection can be
made using the hot wire from the
car's brake lights. Test to
find the hot wire from the LED.
Connect the hot wires together.
The remaining LED wire should be
grounded to the trunk. Secure
all connections with the supplied
LED wire connectors or with
electrical tape.
INSTALLATION
| 1. |
Clean the trunk lid and
dry it thoroughly. |
| 2. |
Carefully position the
spoiler & find the best
position. Use may want
to use a tape measure to
insure the spoiler is the
same distance from the edge
of the decklid from side to
side & front to back.
Stand back & view the car
from all angles to satisfy
yourself of its fit &
styling. |
| 3. |
When you are completely
satisfied, mark the position
of the spoiler on the trunk
lid using a felt tip pen.
Check from below to insure
that the mounting holes will
clear any obstruction. |
| 4. |
Insert a plastic locator
strip into each of the
mounting holes.
Reposition the spoiler back
in the ideal location.
Use a small piece of masking
tape to hold it temporarily
in place. The tabs
should be parallel to the
spoiler (See Illustration
3). |
| 5. |
Tape down the tabs of
the locator strips using
masking tape (See
Illustration 4). |
| 6. |
Carefully remove the
spoiler, leaving the locator
strips in position. |
| 7. |
Drill a 3/32" (2mm)
pilot hole through the
center of the locator strip
(See Illustration 5). |
| 8. |
Remove the locator
strips & enlarge the holes
using 9/32" (6.5mm) drill
bit. |
| 9. |
Locate & drill the hole
for the LED wires. |
| 10. |
Treat all of the holes
with rust inhibiting primer. |
| 11. |
Insert the fixing screws
through the trunk lid into
the pedestals of the
spoiler, being careful not
to over-tighten the screws
particularly if they bridge
a hollow double skin. |
| 12. |
Remove all the metal
shavings from the trunk &
surrounding areas. |
