Many customers have made these 5 common mistakes, which can harm lights, void warranties, or even put them at risk for accidents, according to Auxbeam India.
This comprehensive guide exposes these hidden risks and demonstrates how to professionally install LED lights for optimal safety and performance.
Mistake #1: The "Direct Connect" Death Trap
Why It's Dangerous
Connecting LED lights straight into original wiring without the necessary adapters is a critical error that most car owners make. This results in:
- spikes in voltage that destroy your new LEDs
- CANbus system malfunctions causing dashboard alerts
- Wiring that melted due to an excessive current draw
Auxbeam Pro Solution
✔ Make sure to always use CANbus decoder harness
✔ Install HD relay wiring kit (which can handle up to 100W) for more complex configurations.
Mistake #2: Swapping Positive and Negative Wires
The Shocking Truth
- Almost 40% of LED fails are caused by: Positive and negative connections were switched.
- Using non-polarity test lights
