STEP #1 GATHER RECOMMENDED TOOLS:  Marker (Sharpie works well), Counter-sink or Center Punch, Electrical Wire Strippers, Screw Driver Set, Electric or 18v Drill, Drill Bits, Soldering Gun and Solder, Silicon Sealant, Heat Gun.

STEP #2 Again, use CAUTION before performing  any electrical work of any kind on a vehicle.  Disconnect the vehicles battery before starting.  This is extremely important.  DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!  This can be done by disconnecting the vehicle's negative battery cable.  It's also wise to have your vehicles service manual close at hand for information about the specifics of the electrical system *Note:  If the vehicle is a late model, disconnecting the battery can disrupt the electronic systems.  Sometimes "throwing a code" that will have to be addressed by a certified automotive technician.  CAUTION:  Before drilling any holes, pre-determine where the hardware for the LED /Neon lights will be mounted.  Once a hole is drilled it will permanent!  Pay attention to the location of the fuel , brake and electrical lines to avoid drilling through them.

STEP #3 Now you must determine a location for tube placement that is away from all fuel lines, exhaust systems, areas of extreme heat, moving parts, areas where a lift jack are used to raise the vehicle, or where a spare tire is accessed. Once the vehicle is raised with the jack, use CAUTION and make sure that the vehicle is properly located on the jack and that it is stable.  Make sure to chock the wheels before lying under the car. Now you want to test-fit the LED light tubes in the locations where they will be mounted in accordance with your particular kit diagrams and instructions. It is ideal to mount the led tubes so as they are centered between the overall length of the vehicle for optimal appearance. However, the mounting location is also a matter of personal preference. Tubes should be positioned on the chassis of the vehicle so as they are not visible. Visible tubes are prohibited by law in some countries and States.

STEP #4 The LED tubes are mounted on the chassis using the small metal/plastic brackets that are included in your kit. With the brackets installed on the tube first, lift the assembly into place and mark the locations where you will be drilling the holes for the brackets. Once you have marked the locations with an ink marker or pencil, center-punch them to ensure a good start for your drill bit. Carefully drill the holes for the mounting brackets. As with any project that involves drilling holes into metal parts on a vehicle, apply a small amount of silicon sealer to the holes before screwing in the screws. This will help protect the metal against rust. The easiest way to mount the LED tubes is to start the screws in the brackets first, then holding the bracket in place, insert and tighten the screws into the holes. Make sure that the wires coming from the Side tubes are facing the front of the vehicle so that they are closer to distribution block. It's best to tighten the screws just enough to hold the bracket in place, then go back after you have almost finished the install and individually tighten each one until it seats firmly. For this step, you may use either a screwdriver attachment for your cordless drill or a regular screwdriver. Once you've correctly mounted the first led tube assembly, proceed to the other tubes and install them in the same manner.

STEP #5  Find a good location for the distribution block. It should be mounted on a flat surface in the engine compartment. If you live in extreme cold weather conditions, it's advised to try and mount the block inside the car and hidden away under the dash to avoid the moisture and any friends kicking it. It should be mounted away from extreme heat and moving parts. It is better to mount the distribution block high in the engine compartment to ensure that it stays dry, should you choose this location. Connect each tube to the outputs on top of the distribution block (PLASMAGLOW LED undercar kit). Several wire extensions are included in the kits from PLASMAGLOW, in case the existing wires do not reach. Once you have plugged in these wires into the distribution block, DO NOT pull the adaptors out by the wires. They can be pried up using a flat head screwdriver.  Should you have to do any cutting and joining of wires for led under car kits from other manufacturers,  it is advised to: Strip back the ends of each of the wires that you are going to join about 1/4-inch.; Slip a length of "shrink-wrap tubing" over one end of each set of wires; Solder the exposed portions of the connecting wires together using a soldering gun; Add a dab of silicon sealer to the soldered connection; Slide the section of "shrink-wrap tubing" over the connection, then use a heat-gun to shrink the tubing to form a watertight seal.

STEP #6  Determine a location inside your vehicle to mount the digital control panel. You want it to be in a location where you can easily access all its buttons and functions.  Note:  Use CAUTION when accessing the wiring under your dashboard as you could possibly deploy the AIRBAG.

STEP #7  The ribbon wire on the digital control panel needs to be pushed through a hole in the firewall and plugged into the "input" on the side of distribution block (PLASMAGLOW). For those of you who may be a bit confused as to what the "firewall" is, it's the wall that divides the engine compartment from the interior of the vehicle. Be careful when you do this because the wire adaptors are fragile. Make sure that the hole you pass the wire through is sealed with a rubber grommet or silicon sealant to protect wires. DO NOT pull on the adaptors, as the wires can come loose.  An extension cable is included in the kit in case it will not reach the distribution block.

STEP #8 The power wire on the digital control panel should be connected directly to the Positive side of the car battery, with an "in-line fuse" attached no more than 18 inches away from the battery. There will also be an "Earth wire" or Negative ground wire coming out from the control panel that will need to be securely screwed to the chassis of the vehicle or to any "existing earth wire" to complete the power circuit. Please refer to These Instructions here for further "in-depth" instructions on where-and-how to connect to the car battery. WARNING: Please keep in mind that the main issue we face with having neon or LED car lights on our vehicles these days is the fact that they are often frowned upon by the authorities. So to avoid any uninvited fines, and to have total control at your fingertips, its best to install neon or LED lights so as they can be activated through a separate Expandable Control Switch for ease of use, rather than having them come on when the headlights are turned on. If you do have your neon lights come on when the ignition is turned on, your best solution is to have a "kill switch" installed to get you out of trouble, should you encounter the authorities, or if there is some "overheating" going on.  Caution:  If you do obtain a 12V power supply for your LED/Neon Lights from one of the wires under the dash, be sure that it's not the headlight wires, because you cannot turn off the neon or LED's while driving at night
