To install the AURA OPT7 Engine Bay lighting kit, follow these steps:

Step 1: Decide where to locate the control box and light strips. Make sure the wiring has enough length for the light strips to be installed in your desired location. Connect all light pods to the control box using the included extension cables. Then, plug the control box Cigarette Power Adapter into an available 12-volt charging port, or connect the positive wire to the fuse tap and connect the open negative wire to a ground (any metal surface). Plug the fuse tap into the 10amp switched fuse.

Step 2: Secure the control box in your desired location using Velcro or zip ties. Ensure that the control box is safely and securely hidden from exposing elements of moisture, as it is not waterproof.

Step 3: Secure the light strips using zip ties to tie all the wiring away from moving components. It is important to note that the LED connectors are not waterproof. To ensure the longevity of the lighting kit, use heat shrink tube (not included) or electrical tape around the LED connectors.

Step 4: Use the included E-Z Remote to select your desired color or pattern for the lights.
