How to install modLight2 into your car?
You have to properly connect modLight2 to your car's wiring harness.
ModLight2 has 3-pin connector with BROWN, RED and YELLOW wires.
It's highly recommended to use multimeter to pre-check and confirm the power sources of your car's wire harness where you plan to connect modLight2 to.

  • The BROWN wire must be connected to GND (ground) of your car's wire harness, which is usually a brown, brown-white or brown-black wire.
  • The RED wire must be connected to 12V (permanent) power source from your car's wire harness, which is usually red-green, red-blue or red-white wire.
  • The YELLOW wire must be connected to IBUS source (IBUS wire) from your car's wire harness, which is always a white wire with gray stripe and yellow dots.

Please don't use fast wire or T-wire connectors, they will only turn you into issues if you are not sure how to use. The best connection method is splicing (cut 1cm isolation of your car's wire, then splice modLight2's wire there, then isolate). No need of soldering, no need of anything special. ModLight2 consums only 12-20mA of current.
Every E38/E39/E53 and Range Rover L322 has all 3 wires needed inside the trunk, near to the left tail lights.

  • On cars, equipped with OEM navigation or CD changer or DSP amplifier, you can find the 3 wires that modLight2 needs inside the wire harness of descibed modules.
  • On cars, not equipped with OEM navi, CD changer or DSP, there is always a connector on the internal side of the rear left fender, who has 12V and IBUS wires. In this case, you can use GROUND wire from the left tail light connector or any other ground source nearby.
