To install the EL Panel, first disconnect the battery. Remove the interior trim panels where the EL Panel will be placed. Connect the panel's wires to the power source, ensuring proper insulation. Secure the panel in place and reattach the trim. Reconnect the battery and test the panel.
You will need a Phillips screwdriver, a flathead screwdriver, wire strippers, electrical tape, and possibly a trim removal tool.
Check the wiring connections for any loose or incorrect connections. Ensure the power source is active. Inspect the fuse associated with the panel's circuit. If the problem persists, consult the vehicle’s manual or a professional technician.
Yes, it is safe as long as the EL Panel is installed correctly and does not obstruct your view. However, ensure the panel's brightness does not cause any distraction while driving at night.
Keep the panel clean by dusting it regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Ensure the electrical connections remain secure and inspect them periodically for wear or damage.
Some EL Panels offer customizable colors. Refer to the product manual for instructions on changing the color. If not available, replacing the panel with a different color variant is an option.
Flickering may be due to a loose connection or a weak power source. Check the connections and ensure the power supply is stable. If flickering continues, consider replacing the panel.
