More DIY cases, please refer to Do It Yourself.

 

Procedures:

Remove the old star from the grill

This is the new lighted star with a gloss black background, twist it onto the grill

Install the extended wires to the star and then route it behind the headlight

The black wire is ground wire, ground it to the screw

Get access to the fuse box by removing the cover which is held on by two screws, then use a test light pen to probe around all the fuses to see which one turns on with the car.

Notice: It must disconnected the car’s battery before pulling the fuse from the fuse box!

Use a fuse tap connected to the power wire(red wire), plug it back in to where I pulled that blue fuse out which is the second spot.

Reinstall everything, the star will power on with the car.
