Part 2: Replace the Headlights

Step 7: Remove the Factory Headlight

Remove the four 8mm and 10mm bolts holding the headlight housing, then unplug the main factory harness.

Step 7: the four headlight housing bolts

Step 8: Connect the DRL Fuse Tap

These headlights take their daytime running light power from the fuse box rather than the factory headlight plug. Route the long red DRL wire back to the engine bay fuse box and plug the supplied fuse tap into the designated ACC slot.

Plug the new harness into the factory connectors and bolt the housing in. Before the bumper goes back on, switch the car on and check the DRL, turn signals, low beam and high beam on both sides.

Step 9: new headlight fitted and connected

Step 10: Reassemble

Refit the bumper, reconnect the side marker harnesses, and put back the fender bolts, belly pan screws, top bolts and radiator shroud clips in the reverse order you removed them.

The Clear model is now fully installed. The next section applies only to the RGB model.

RGB Model: Happy Lighting App Setup

The Happy Lighting app controls the colors and animation modes. The startup animation is preset and cannot be changed.
Download: search for "Happy Lighting" in the App Store or Google Play, or scan the QR code on the controller box.
Pairing: turn on Bluetooth on your phone. Open the app, tap the menu icon (arrow 1), and select your device from the list (arrow 2).
Color: tap the Adjust tab (arrow 3) and use the color wheel (arrows 4 and 5) to choose a solid color.
Dynamic modes: tap the Music or Mode tab (arrow 6) to choose an animation. Use slider 8 to adjust speed and slider 9 to adjust brightness.

Common Issues and Solutions

Headlight does not turn on after installation. Check that the harness connectors are fully seated. Inspect the pins inside each connector; if any are bent, carefully straighten them with a small precision tool and reconnect securely.

Everything works except the DRL. Check the fuse tap from Step 8: that it is in the ACC slot, that the fuse is seated, and that the red wire is not pinched anywhere along its route.

Swap test. If a headlight still does not work, swap the left and right units to find out whether the issue is the light itself or the vehicle wiring.

App cannot connect. Turn on Bluetooth and Location Services on your phone (Android needs Location for Bluetooth scanning). Keep other strong signal sources away from the vehicle.

Condensation inside the headlight. Temperature differences can cause light condensation, which is normal. Once the light has been on for a while and the internal temperature stabilizes, the moisture clears on its own. It does not affect brightness, performance, or lifespan.
