Start with the diagram for the controller and LED product supplied in your kit. RGBW and Flow Series use different wiring systems, and the controller’s vehicle-power input is not necessarily the voltage required by the LEDs.
Identify your controller before wiring
- A11 RGBW controller: wiring and manual on/off control
- A12 RGBW SmartSwitch controller: main power and automatic trigger setup
- A26 Flow SmartSwitch controller: DRL, turn, brake and reverse inputs
If the label shows a different part number, use the included instructions or find that model in the Help Center. Do not apply another controller’s wire colors or trigger functions to it.
Main power and trigger wires serve different purposes
Main power and ground supply the controller. A trigger wire detects a vehicle function, such as parking lights or a turn signal. On controllers that require both, connecting the trigger does not replace the main power connection. Verify the vehicle circuit instead of assuming its wire color matches the controller wire.
Keep required drivers and power modules in place
For many RGBW products, the connection path includes a controller, an LED driver and the light. Flow products use their specified controller assembly and any supplied power modules. Follow the exact diagram: do not bypass a driver or connect bare LEDs directly to vehicle power.
Before combining products, check the controller compatibility guide.
RGBW and Flow wiring diagrams and videos
The diagrams below illustrate specific setups. Confirm that the controller, LED type and included parts match your kit before using a diagram.
Should lights use constant or switched power?
The answer depends on the controller and intended operation. A controller connected to constant power may allow manual control while the vehicle is off. A SmartSwitch controller can use its specified trigger for automatic operation while retaining its required main-power connection. Follow the model-specific instructions and turn manually controlled lights off after use.
Test before final assembly
With the specified fuse and components in place, check colors, control response and any supported triggers before securing wiring or closing headlights. Keep wiring clear of sharp edges, heat and moving parts. Use our pre-installation test checklist for the final checks.
