Pinewood Headlights & Tail Lights Installation Steps

1. 1. 1. 1. Trace or draw your design on the body block and mark your Pinewood Headlights & Tail Lights locations front and rear.

         3. On the bottom of the car, draw a guide line from each light location to the center mark.
         4. Place the block in a vice, using a drill and either a 1 1/8″ paddle bit or forstner but (available at any hardware store) drill the hole for the module deep enough to intersect with the LED lights.
         5. Next, using a 3/16″ drill bit, carefully drill a starter hole from the light locations, following the guide lines on the bottom of the car into the 1 1/8″ module hole. Do this for all 4 locations making sure all 4 holes go completely into the module hole.
         6. Using a ¼” drill bit, drill the 4x Pinewood Headlights & Tail Lights holes their final size making sure the bit reached the module hole for proper sizing. Caution: when using a drill, always wear safety glasses and use adult supervision.
         7. NOW, cut, sand, paint and decorate your car to the desired design.
         8. Remove battery shipping tab and test lights. on/off button is indicated by the symbol on the case.
         9. Separate the light leads and carefully thread them into their desired location, pulling them out about 1″. Then carefully apply a drop of super glue and then install them into their desired location in the hole. After the glue sets, coil up the excess wire in the module hole and carefully press the module in. The tension from the rubber case will hold it in place.
