FAQs
Can I cut these strips to a shorter length?
The product is designed as a 180cm unit; please refer to the specific markings on the strip for cut points or consult a professional installer to ensure the circuit remains intact.
Is this legal for road use?
No, this product is strictly intended for off-road use only.
Does it come with a controller?
The dynamic 'WOW' startup effect is integrated into the strip's circuitry, requiring no external controller box.
What is the color temperature?
These LEDs output a 5500k Xenon White light, which is a crisp, clean white color.
How do I secure the wiring?
Use automotive-grade zip ties or adhesive wire clips to secure loose cabling away from moving engine parts.
Will this drain my battery?
With a consumption of only 12.5W, it has a negligible impact on a standard 12V automotive battery.
Troubleshooting
LED strip flickers or doesn't turn on
Verify all wire connections to the 12V source are secure and check for correct polarity.
Adhesive is peeling away from the vehicle
Ensure the surface was completely de-greased during installation; consider using a specialized automotive adhesion promoter if the surface is textured.
Dynamic 'WOW' effect is inconsistent
Ensure the voltage supply is a steady 12V; fluctuations during startup may interrupt the animation sequence.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation:
Thoroughly clean the mounting surface with an alcohol-based cleaner to remove grease and wax.
Carefully measure the desired path along the hood or headlight housing.
Peel back the protective film from the pre-applied double-sided adhesive and press firmly into place.
Connect the leads to a stable 12V DC power source.
Compatibility:
Compatible with all 12V DC automotive electrical systems.
Note that some vehicles with complex CANbus monitoring may require additional resistors to prevent dashboard bulb-out warnings.
Care:
Avoid using high-pressure car washes directly against the strip edges to maintain adhesive integrity.
Clean only with a soft, damp cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could cloud the lens material.
