4. Pengaturan dan Instalasi

4.1. Alat yang Dibutuhkan

• Set Kunci Soket
• Alat Penghapusan Panel
• Obeng (Phillips dan Flathead)
• Wire Strippers/Crimpers (if custom wiring is needed, though typically plug-and-play)
• Multimeter (untuk menguji sambungan)
• Zip Ties or Cable Management Clips

4.2. Langkah Pra-Instalasi

1. Park the vehicle on a flat, stable surface and engage the parking brake.
2. Turn off the engine and remove the key from the ignition.
3. Lepaskan terminal negatif baterai kendaraan.
4. Allow the engine bay to cool down completely.

4.3. Headlight Removal

1. Carefully remove any plastic clips, bolts, or screws securing the front bumper cover.
2. Gently pull the bumper cover away from the vehicle to access the headlight mounting bolts. It may not be necessary to fully remove the bumper, only to loosen it sufficiently.
3. Locate and remove the bolts securing the factory headlight assembly. Typically, there are bolts on the top, side, and sometimes underneath the headlight.
4. Carefully pull the factory headlight assembly forward, disconnecting all electrical connectors from the rear of the housing.
5. Ulangi proses untuk sisi lainnya.

4.4. Koneksi Kabel

The Morimoto XB Evo Hybrid headlights feature a plug-and-play design. The specific harnesses used will depend on whether your 4Runner originally came with LED or Halogen headlights.

1. Identify Original Headlight Type: Determine if your vehicle originally had LED or Halogen headlights. Select the corresponding Morimoto wiring harness (OE LED Harnesses or OE Halogen Harnesses).
2. Connect Main Headlight Harness: Connect the appropriate Morimoto main headlight harness to the vehicle's factory headlight connector.
3. DRL Harness Connection: Connect the DRL Harness to the designated port on the new headlight assembly. Use the DRL Harness Extension if needed for proper routing.
4. Fuse Tap Installation: Install the provided Fuse Tap into an appropriate fuse slot in the vehicle's fuse box (refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for an accessory fuse location). Connect the DRL harness to the fuse tap. This provides power for the Daytime Running Lights.
5. Resistor Installation (if applicable): If your vehicle requires resistors to prevent hyper-flashing or bulb-out warnings (common with some halogen-to-LED conversions), securely mount the resistors to a metal surface away from plastic components, as they can generate heat. Connect them as per the included resistor instructions.
6. 9005 Connector Caps (if applicable): Use these caps to seal any unused connectors.
7. Pastikan semua sambungan aman dan terpasang dengan benar.

4.5. Headlight Installation

1. Carefully guide the new Morimoto XB Evo Hybrid LED Headlight assembly into the opening. Ensure all wiring is tucked away and not pinched.
2. Align the mounting points and secure the headlight assembly with the factory bolts removed earlier. Do not overtighten.
3. Repeat for the other headlight.
4. Reinstall the front bumper cover, ensuring all clips, bolts, and screws are reattached securely.

4.6. Pemeriksaan Pasca Instalasi

1. Hubungkan kembali terminal negatif baterai kendaraan.
2. Turn on the vehicle's ignition and test all lighting functions: Daytime Running Lights, Low Beams, High Beams, and Turn Signals.
3. Verify that there are no dashboard warning lights related to the headlights.
4. Perform a headlight aiming adjustment. This is crucial for proper light distribution and to avoid blinding oncoming traffic. Consult your vehicle's service manual or a professional for correct aiming procedures.

5. Petunjuk Pengoperasian

Your Morimoto XB Evo Hybrid LED Headlights are designed to integrate seamlessly with your vehicle's existing lighting controls.

5.1. Daytime Running Lights (DRL)

The integrated white LED DRLs will illuminate automatically when the vehicle is running and the headlights are off, or as per your vehicle's DRL settings. These provide enhanced visibility during daylight hours.
