Ziza Interior Lighting Package InstallationES2568957RFits MINI CooperWhat are LEDs?LEDs are Light Emitting Diodes, solid state devices that emit light when connected to electricalcurrent. They have no moving parts or wire filaments to burn out. They emit a whiter light, runcooler, and last longer that the incandescent (filament style bulbs) we are replacing in thistutorial.Unlike filament bulbs, LEDs are polarity sensitive. They have plus and minus (positive andnegative) electrical terminals that must match the polarity of the applied voltage. Installing thebulbs “backwards” in the light bulb sockets (with reversed polarity) will not harm them, but theywill not light. Flipping the bulb 180 degrees in the electrical connector cures this problem.Bulb TypesThis kit includes two bulb types, classified by their general shape.FESTOON - Conventional incandescentfestoon bulbs have a shape and generalappearance that is similar to a glassfuse.festoonMetal caps attached to both ends of aglass tube are sealed to the tube andattached to the bulb filament. End capsmount the bulb in its holder and alsoconduct electrical current.LED festoon lights have the samepointed end caps, but are attached to abank of LEDs instead of a filament tube.WEDGE - Wedge style bulbs get theirname from the shape of the bulb base.The tapered end of the bulb “wedges”into the bulb socket.wedgeLED wedge lights fit the bulb socket likea filament bulb, but are polarity sensitive.bayonetAddress: 1000 Seville Road, Wadsworth, OH 44281 Phone: 1.800.924.5172 Web: www.ecstuning.com

Ziza Interior Lighting Package InstallationES2568957RFits MINI CooperGeneral Tips• When prying down on the assemblies to remove them, pry on the notched end ofthe lens. Insert the narrow tool tip between the lens plastic and any metal collarused to reinforce the lens mounting hole. Push in on the retaining clip first tocompress and release it. Then pry down.• The spring bulb retainer is also the circuit conductor. If necessary, gently bendthe metal retainer so it holds the bulb tight. This will help prevent intermittent orflickering LED operation caused by a loose connection.• Install the bulbs with the LEDs facing toward the lens.festoonincandescentfrontLEDbackassembly removalnon mar pry toolnotchlens frontmetal collar in trim panelretaining clip(plastic or metal)notchBulbsspring bulb retainerlens backlens side clipelectrical connectorPage - 4Address: 1000 Seville Road, Wadsworth, OH 44281 Phone: 1.800.924.5172 Web: www.ecstuning.com
