DIODE HARNESS
PCU HARNESS
For use with Harness Part Number:
H4H1ADS
In some cases, you may need to switch
the polarity on the diodes for your
high/low to work properly. If that is the
case, you must switch the polarity to
(red black/ red black). Try your low and
high beams again. If there is a problem,
check your connections and contact our
customer support team.
Your Sevens feature our Power Control
Unit (PCU) which is an automated
headlight control system module and no
longer needs a diode. Please follow the
guides accordingly and contact us if you
have any questions.
Note:
Halogen Kit Install Guide
If your headlight shuts off while turning on high
beams, refer to the diagram on the next page
(page 13). Otherwise, skip to the next step.
Warning:
Test Low Beams
Testing Your Headlights
Reconnect your battery. Turn on your vehicle’s
auxiliary power. Flip on your headlights and see if
the low beam is working as it should be. If the low
beam lights are NOT working, double check that
you have good connections and correct polarity
on all parts of the harness. If you are still having
issues, please contact a Dapper Lighting
Technician before moving forward.
Test High Beams
Turn on your high beams and check for a change
in output pattern. Switch between both low and
high beams several times to make sure you have
a good connection.

Halogen Kit Install Guide
Diode Polarity
In some cases, you may need to switch the
polarity on the diodes for your high/low to work
properly. If this is the case, you must switch the
polarity of your small black/red diode to (red
black/ red black). Try your low and high beams
again. If this works, move on to the next step. If
you are still having issues, please double check
all of your connections. If there is still a problem
contact a Dapper Lighting Technician.
For Headlight Aiming Instructions, please refer to page 30.
For Troubleshooting and FAQs, please refer to page 33.
City Lights/Running
Lights/Halo and Angel Eyes(Optional)
Most Dapper Lighting Headlights come with either a built in
city/running lights below the projector or a built in halo/angel eye
around the projector. These do NOT come pre-wired and are open
for different uses. You can wire them up to turn signals, parking
lights, or leave them as they are. For the city/running lights, the
halogen T10 bulbs included can also be upgraded to Dapper
Lighting LED T10 Bulbs (Dapper Lighting SKU #T105SMD).

Installing your HID bulbs
Unscrew the clear plastic protective case to free
your HID bulb and place it inside your new Dapper
Lighting projector. Be careful not to touch the
bulb, as oils from your hands could impair light
output.
19
HID Kit Install Guide
HID bulbs may vary from kit to kit. In some
instances you may need to use a pair of
pliers to modify the clips: Take a pair of
pliers and gently pull on the clip’s loop. This
will allow for more slack in the clips and
allow you to securely fasten your bulb.
Warning:
This modification will NOT void your
Dapper Lighting product warranty.
Note:
Properly Seating and
Securing Bulbs
Once you have installed the bulb, pull the clips across
the bulb and secure them onto the locking tabs.
Remove Spade Adapters
After installing your HID bulbs into your new Dapper
Lighting projector housings, completely remove this
extra spade adapter from both sides.
It is attached to your bulbs / wiring, but will NOT be
used during installation. Discard or set aside.
