Starlight Installation Guide

IMPORTANT!

For a successful starlight installation, follow each step carefully. Failure to adhere to these instructions may impact warranty eligibility and the overall result.

1
Prepare the Installation Area

Choose a clean, well-lit workspace. Remove the vehicle’s headliner panel to gain access to the roof, ensuring all areas are clean and free of any obstructions.

Tip: Make sure to carefully store screws and clips as you remove the headliner panel for easy reinstallation.
2
Mark Starlight Locations

Using a template or your preferred pattern, mark where each starlight fiber optic point will be installed. This ensures a balanced, visually appealing layout.

Note: Symmetrical patterns often provide the best visual effect.
3
Drill Holes for Fiber Optics

Carefully drill small holes at each marked location. Ensure the holes are just wide enough for the fiber optic strands, avoiding larger holes for a snug fit.

Reminder: Use a fine drill bit to maintain control and prevent damage to the headliner panel.
4
Install Fiber Optic Strands

Push each fiber optic strand through its designated hole from the underside of the panel, securing it with adhesive or tape as needed to prevent shifting.

Tip: Keep the fibers slightly loose to prevent tension, which can lead to snapping or misalignment.
5
Connect the Light Source

Gather all fiber optic strands and connect them to the main light source. Test the lighting to ensure all fibers illuminate correctly and adjust as necessary.

Tip: A quick test before reassembly ensures everything is functioning as expected.
6
Reinstall Headliner Panel

Carefully reattach the headliner panel, securing all screws and clips. Ensure the fibers remain in place and are not pinched or moved during reinstallation.

Reminder: Double-check all areas for loose fibers or unsecured components to complete a flawless installation.
