This installation guide is for the following SKUs:
Thank you for your purchase of this unique product for your Chevrolet
Camaro! With these modules, you will be able to convert your factory
LEDs inside the headlight into full multicolor functionality, along with an
amber turn signal feature. They are a direct replacement for the factory
LED panels inside the light.
1. Remove the six T20 torx screws holding the black
bezel in place, including the screw on the backside of
the housing. Set the bezel aside.
Remove the four T20 torx screws holding the white
optics shroud in place and remove the optics shroud
from the assembly.
Tools Needed: Torx T10 and T20 Screwdriver
Please note: Headlights must be opened before proceeding with installation. Before baking the
headlight, remove the T20 torx screws holding the ballast to the housing and the three T20 torx
screws holding the LED driver to the housing. Disconnect the OEM harness from ballast. Professional
installation is strongly recommended. Please contact Diode Dynamics if you need assistance locating
an installer.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT plug the LED panel directly into controller without the driver.
The LEDs must be plugged into driver rst to control the power.
Upper DRL Board Installation:
12. Connect the DRL Power Wire harness to the Add a Fuse . Then replace fuse F40 with
the Add a Fuse. Reinstall the OEM fuse in the open slot closest to the pins on the Add a Fuse.
NOTE: If you are installing both the upper and lower DRL boards, tap the red wire from the
pigtail to the DRL power wire harness that was previously installed. You will not need the
second DRL harness.
13. Next, route the DRL harness wires to the headlight harness on each side of the vehicle.
Connect the red wire from the DRL Power Wire harness to the red wire on each driver.
14. Mount drivers and controller, and tuck all wires. Drivers should be mounted outside
of headlight for serviceability, in a location away from the engine block to avoid excessive
head buildup. Test thoroughly, reseal headlights and reinstall onto vehicle.

OPTIONAL: DRL Override Feature - This feature allows you to automatically switch the LEDs
to a high-brightness White color when power is applied to the red input signal, “overriding” the
controller color selected. We recommend connecting this to ignition power using the supplied DRL
Power Wire Harness, to automatically switch to White when the vehicle is running. This allows you
to leave the LEDs set to an accent color of your choice, then automatically switch to White while
driving. If you would like to adjust the colors manually at all times, you can skip this feature by
leaving the signal disconnected.
* Optional override white, do not connect for manual control of colors at all times.

5. Connect the wiring harness to the LED boards.
Ensure the shortest length on the wiring harness is
connected to the L1/R1 boards.
Secure the wiring harness to the back of the board
using the included zip ties. See picture to the left.
2. Remove the four T10 torx screws holding the
factory boards in place. Then remove the factory
boards. They won’t be reused.
3. Install your new Diode Dynamics LED boards.
To do so, install the supplied spacers between the
boards and the back of the optics shroud as shown
in the picture to the left. The spacers must be used
in order to allow enough clearance for the LED chips.
See back for further instructions.

6. Using the original T20 screws, reinstall the white
optics shroud and route the wires through the back
of the headlight assembly, sealing any holes you
may create.
4. Secure the boards in place using the original T10
torx screws.
7. Using the original T20 screws, reinstall the black
bezel in the headlight assembly.
Once complete, repeat the same process for the
other headlight.
9. Connect the battery input wire to the SolidState Relay Harness . Run the battery input
wire to the battery, and connect to the positive and negative battery terminals. Next, tap
one of the blue wires from the SolidState Relay Harness to your power source . This will
determine when the LEDs turn on. We suggest tapping the parking signal (Blue/Brown
wire) on the Camaro passenger headlight harness, so the LEDs turn on with your
parking lights. Alternatively, you can run this to your battery with a switch (not included)
if you prefer manual activation and power. The other blue wire will not be used.
