Product image checkpoints

  • The matching product page identifies this as a direct-fit, plug-and-play style installation. Use the product images for lamp-shape comparison and confirm the connector locks before reinstalling trim.
  • The visible product-function references indicate projector beam output, low beam, DRL, sequential turn signal, white/amber switchback behavior checks for this product. Confirm beam pattern and function behavior before final bumper or grille reassembly.
  • If the kit includes a decoder, resistor, control module, or relay, secure it away from heat, moving parts, water paths, and sharp metal edges. Do not add universal electrical parts unless support confirms they are needed.

Product notes

  • Use the product reference images on this page as the product-side visual check for connector layout, rear housing shape, and lighting functions.
  • Original vehicle trim, clip style, and fastener locations can vary by year, trim, and previous repairs. Remove panels slowly and verify each fastener before pulling.
  • Road-lighting compliance and off-road/show-use notes are product specific. Review the matching RIGNOX product page for the exact language for this item.

Before you begin

  • Confirm the exact product: Compare the RIGNOX headlights to the product reference images, including rear housing, plug layout, lens style, and included modules.
  • Work powered down: Park on level ground, switch the vehicle off, and disconnect the negative battery terminal when handling wiring.
  • Protect body panels: Use clean towels or masking tape near painted edges around the hood, grille, bumper edge, or fender liner area.
  • Do not force clips: If a lamp or trim panel does not move, stop and look for another fastener or locating pin.
  • No grease on connectors: Do not apply dielectric grease or weather-sealing grease to connectors or sockets.

Tools and supplies

  • Trim removal tool or panel clip tool
  • Metric socket and ratchet set; verify exact sizes on the vehicle before removal
  • Phillips and flat screwdrivers
  • Clean microfiber towels and masking tape
  • Electrical tape and zip ties for securing included harnesses only
  • A wall or flat vertical surface for beam-pattern checking

Remove the original headlights

  1. Remove the radiator cover clips: Open the hood and use a flathead screwdriver or trim removal tool to release the 19 plastic push clips securing the upper radiator cover.

  3. Complete the installation and inspect the final fitment: After confirming that all lighting functions operate correctly, reinstall the front bumper, main bumper harness, wheel well screws, lower gravel guard, radiator cover, and all removed clips and fasteners. Confirm that both headlight assemblies are properly seated and review the completed appearance.

Electrical and function test

  1. Confirm low beam and high beam operate on both sides.
  2. Confirm DRL, parking light, amber turn signal, hazard, sequential, and switchback behavior where supported by this product.
  3. Confirm startup animation or RGB/app functions only after normal road-light functions pass.
  4. Check for dashboard warnings, flicker, or intermittent operation before reinstalling final trim.
  5. Verify beam aim after installation so the cutoff is safe and even.

Final check

  • All connectors are locked, dry, and routed without tension.
  • Included modules or extra harnesses are secured away from heat, water paths, moving parts, and sharp edges.
  • Both headlights sit flush with even body gaps and properly seated seals.
  • All supported lighting functions pass on both sides.
  • No warning lights, flicker, hyperflash, abnormal heat, moisture issue, or loose wiring remains after a short check drive.

Troubleshooting

  • One lamp does not turn on: Recheck the main connector lock, related fuse, and battery connection.
  • One function does not work: Compare the plug area to the product reference images and verify the connector is fully seated.
  • Warning message, flicker, or hyperflash: Confirm the correct product variant was installed and that any included decoder, resistor, or relay is connected and secured.
  • Moisture appears: Light condensation right after installation is normal and usually clears within about a week of regular driving as the lamp warms up. If water collects inside or the moisture doesn't clear, contact RIGNOX support.
  • Beam pattern is too high or uneven: Recheck lamp seating first, then adjust aim on a flat surface.

Need help?

If the original lamp, vehicle connector, or included harness does not match the product reference images, stop before modifying wiring and contact RIGNOX support with your order number and your vehicle's year, model and trim. We'll walk you through it.

Before you call it done

After the Install

No DRL plug in your harness? Vehicles that never had daytime running lights need the DRL lead wired to a fuse that switches with the key: how to find the right fuse with a test light, and how to tap it safely.

Aim the low beams before you drive at night; a projector an inch too high blinds oncoming traffic: the 25-foot wall method, and where the adjusters are on this housing.

Fast-blinking turn signals or a bulb-out message after the swap is a load issue, not a fault: how to tell hyperflash from flicker, and what to check first.

A thin mist inside the lens after a cold night is normal on any vented lamp: the automaker rule for fog vs a real leak.
