If the vehicle is equipped with a front bull bar, you can add an LED bar to illuminate the road almost like daylight, but it is recommended to switch it off when encountering another vehicle. The same bar can also be installed on the bumper, of course.

When mounting on the bull bar, the bar comes with support brackets to be bolted to the bull bar itself, then run the power cable through the front grille to reach the battery for connecting the ground and positive terminals. You also need to run the ignition switch cable into the cabin.

Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
