Installation Guide

Four Steps. Two Wires. 10 Minutes.

If you've ever wired a dash cam, you've already done the hard part. Take your time on the seal and you'll finish in one afternoon.

What You'll Need

Basic hand tools — nothing specialised.

🪛Screwdriver set

🔥Heat gun or hairdryer

🧤Gloves

🔌Wire connectors / tape

🧵Butyl sealant (headlight)

🨻Clean cloth

Get To The Housing

Varies

Remove the headlight assembly and open it up so you can reach the factory projector. This is the only step that takes real care, and the part that varies most between vehicles.

Disconnect the battery before you start
Warm the headlight seal with a heat gun to soften the glue
Gently separate the lens from the housing

Tip: Photograph each connector before unplugging it. Reassembly is far easier with a reference.

Drop In The Lens

3 min

The NightGaze eye is a complete 3-inch projector assembly. It mounts where your factory projector sat, using the included brackets.

Confirm your housing has room for a 9 × 7 × 6.5 cm module
Seat the projector squarely so the eye faces straight out
Secure it with the universal mounting hardware

Two Wires, Done

10 min

Wiring is deliberately simple. Red to positive, black to negative, straight to the headlight terminals. No adapter, no decoder module, no cutting into the factory loom.

Red → positive (+)
Black → negative (–)
Connect the control box and remote receiver inline

Test before sealing: Reconnect the battery and cycle the remote to confirm both eyes light and respond. Fix any issue now, while the housing is still open.

Seal It & Pick Your Colour

Seal + 10s

Reseal the housing with a clean, continuous bead of butyl, refit the assembly, then hit the remote and set the eye to whatever the night calls for.

Run a single unbroken bead of butyl — no gaps
Press the lens home evenly all the way around
Refit the headlight and reconnect everything

No fogging: Fogging comes from a rushed seal, not the module. Spend the extra ten minutes here for a clean, permanent finish.

Using The Remote

Wireless control up to 10 metres — no app, no phone, no pairing.

ON/OFF

Power

Turns both eyes on or off instantly.

MODE

Cycle Modes

Steps through colours and animated patterns.

HOLD

Lock A Colour

Hold to freeze on a solid colour you like.

Speed

Adjust animation speed on supported modes.

Troubleshooting

Only one eye lights up

Recheck the connection on the side that isn't working — the most common cause is a loose positive/negative terminal or an incomplete control-box connector. Reseat both plugs firmly.

The remote isn't responding

Make sure the receiver is connected inline and powered. Remove the plastic tab from the remote battery if it's new, and stay within about 10 metres line-of-sight for the first test.

The eye flickers

Flicker almost always means a weak ground. Confirm the black wire is on a solid negative terminal, not a painted or corroded surface.

My headlight fogged up after install

Fogging is a seal issue, not a module fault. Reopen the housing, remove the old butyl, and lay a fresh, continuous bead. Let it cure before driving in the rain.

Do my factory low/high beams still work?

Yes. The eye is a look — it doesn't touch your main lighting. Your factory low and high beams stay fully functional at all times.

Ready To Ride

That's It — Eyes On.

Legal note: Run only the colours your local law permits on public roads. Treat red, blue, green, purple, flashing and animated modes as show, meet and private-property features unless your local regulations allow them. Always keep your factory headlights fully functional. Check your local lighting regulations before driving.
