Installation of LED Position Light Accessory Kit

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Accessory kit

Obtain the LED lamp kit and a 9V battery. Test the lamps using the 9V battery by connecting it to the red positive and black negative wires. Remove the closure caps provided for this installation on the vehicle's front grille. Insert the LED headlamp into the previously cleared hole, pushing it in until the clips engage. Using pliers similar to those used for removing circlips, which open instead of closing like normal pliers, apply the three springs at the back to secure the headlamp permanently. For the electrical connection, it is crucial to be very careful. It is essential to identify the correct power wire. For this operation, turn the position lights on and off, probing each wire until you find the correct one. Use the appropriate 'thief' to take the voltage to connect to the red wire, while the black wire should be connected to the vehicle's ground using a ring terminal and screw. Test the operation.
