Headlight LED Installation Guide

HOW TO INSTALL YOUR NEW LED HEADLIGHT UPGRADE:

(Important: To ensure maximum reliability we strongly recommend separating the copper belts prior to first use. It is crucial to separate the belts to maximize the surface area. Failure to expand the copper belts will reduce the operating life significantly).

GLOBE INSTALLATION:

1. Remove the dust cap & the previous globe from the back of the headlight. Generally twist left, however, some globes are held in by a spring clip.

2. Sealed Headlights: The driver module can be connected to the factory plug and slipped inside the housing. If the LED kit has a fixed in-line driver module this can be installed at a later stage.

Unsealed Headlights: The driver is able to be fixed outside the headlight assembly.

3. For globes with a removable collar, the collar can be removed via twisting anti-clockwise and lifting from the tower. This way the collar can be fitted and secured without the copper tails becoming an obstruction (applies to both headlight variations).

4. As to the diagram below, be sure to expand and pull apart the belts as best as possible ensuring the largest surface area and most effective heat dissipation. Sealed Headlights: This is easiest whilst the globe tower is not installed. Unsealed Headlights: This can be done prior to installation or after.

5a. When installing the tower into the headlight, line up the tabs with the slots on the collar, insert the tower and twist-lock into position.

Sealed Headlights: Any remaining connections can be plugged in and all belts tucked back inside the housing.

Unsealed Headlight: As most unsealed headlights connect externally, the order of assembly will slightly differ. With the collar fitted, proceed to fit the rubber dust cap, install the LED tower through the dust cap into the collar, and lastly reconnect all plugs.

5b. As per the previous step, the below diagrams best describe the procedure for the different types of headlights. Sealed headlights are ideal to have all components (CANBUS excluded) fitted inside the headlight assembly, where as unsealed headlights, more often than not, most components will sit external to the housing.

HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT:

Some models are fitted with an adjustable collar to alter the projection of light. Once fitted, if you find the beam has dark spots, artifacts of light or other unusual characteristics, twist the globe to the next notch to rectify. A few turns may be needed to achieve the correct beam. Refer to the below diagram for the ideal beam pattern.

As displayed you can see the beam shows a distinct cut off line with a kink/elbow to the left side of the beam.

CANBUS MODULES:

If you experience issues such as flickering, dash warnings, etc... after installation, your vehicle may require an additional CANBUS module. For more information regarding CANBUS or a more in-depth installation guide, refer to our help center at support.stedi.com.au or via scanning the QR code on the back of the cover.

Note: Be sure to connect with the correct polarity as CANBUS modules are polarity sensitive.

SPECIAL ADAPTORS:

H1 & H7 globes can commonly be found where the headlight will ignore the traditional fitting of the globes collar instead, using its own holder to secure the globe. This can be by-passed using one of our special adaptors that will sit under the H7 collar and suit the vehicle’s altered fixing. All special adaptors will use the tab on the standard H7 as a guide for fitment.

For most conversions that need a special adaptor, you will use the original adaptor piece as the power connection.
