In this guide, we walk you through the installation process step-by-step, based on expert tips from Tornedalens Fordonsteknik.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eea2955 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eea2955\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 data-path-to-node=\"5\">Preparation: What You Will Need<\/h2><p data-path-to-node=\"6\">Before you begin, ensure you have the right accessories to make the installation as smooth as possible:<\/p><ul data-path-to-node=\"7\"><li><p data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\">Wiring Kit with DT6 Connectors: Required to access all functions (driving light, position light, and strobe light).<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\">XBB Dongle: For modern vehicles (especially those with LED\/CAN-bus systems), an XBB dongle is often needed to pick up the high-beam signal without cutting into the original wiring.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\">Stabilizer Struts: To minimize vibrations and ensure a steady light beam on the road.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\">Control Panel: Recommended if you want to control the strobe light functions separately from the cabin.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f10681 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5f10681\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 data-path-to-node=\"9\">Step-by-Step: Installing BriodLights Olympus<\/h2><h3 data-path-to-node=\"10\">1. Physical Mounting<\/h3><p data-path-to-node=\"11\">You can choose to mount the lights on a classic license plate bracket or on a dedicated light bar\/nudge bar. In the tutorial, a light bar on a Mercedes Sprinter is used for a professional finish.<\/p><h3 data-path-to-node=\"12\">2. Connecting the DT6 Plugs<\/h3><p data-path-to-node=\"13\">A major advantage of the Olympus series is the included loose connectors. They are delivered &#8220;un-pinned,&#8221; which makes it much easier to route the cables through tight gaps in the grill before attaching the plug.<\/p><ul data-path-to-node=\"14\"><li><p data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\">Match the colors: Red to red, black to black, etc.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\">Simply push the pins into the connector until they click into place.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><h3 data-path-to-node=\"15\">3. Synchronizing the Strobe Lights<\/h3><p data-path-to-node=\"16\">If you are installing multiple lights with built-in strobe functions, there is an extra <b data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"88\">green wire<\/b>. This is the <b data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"112\">sync cable<\/b>. By applying power to the green wire once the strobe lights are active, the flash patterns will synchronize, ensuring they blink in perfect harmony.<\/p><h3 data-path-to-node=\"17\">4. Installing the Wiring Kit and XBB<\/h3><p data-path-to-node=\"18\">Route the wiring kit from the engine bay (or firewall) to the lights.<\/p><ul data-path-to-node=\"19\"><li><p data-path-to-node=\"19,0,0\">Use a wiring kit adapted for XBB if your car requires it.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"19,1,0\">Connect the relay and route any cables for the internal control panel to the driver\u2019s side.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><h3 data-path-to-node=\"20\">5. Fitting Stabilizer Struts<\/h3><p data-path-to-node=\"21\">To prevent the light beam from flickering or &#8220;dancing&#8221; when driving on uneven roads, you should use stabilizer struts.<\/p><ul data-path-to-node=\"22\"><li><p data-path-to-node=\"22,0,0\">Adjust the length of the struts to fit the distance between the light and the grill.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"22,1,0\">Attach the strut to the pre-drilled screw hole on top of the light and secure the other end to the vehicle&#8217;s grill.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><h3 data-path-to-node=\"23\">6. Control Panel Setup (Optional)<\/h3><p data-path-to-node=\"24\">For easy control of auxiliary functions like strobe lights or work lights, mount a control panel on the driver&#8217;s side. This gives you full control with simple On\/Off buttons and clear symbols for each function.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fbbaf76 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fbbaf76\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 data-path-to-node=\"26\">Why Choose Olympus?<\/h2><p data-path-to-node=\"27\">Installing Olympus driving lights is straightforward thanks to the smart DT6 connections and robust mounting options. With 12,400 lumens and a &#8220;boost&#8221; function, you get not only a stylish look but also a level of safety in the dark that few other lights can match.<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"28\"><b data-path-to-node=\"28\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Want to see exactly how it\u2019s done?<\/b> Watch the full installation video here: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a class=\"ng-star-inserted\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/MfU-rF94K00?si=qVSJr9N4Tfj1Yk82\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-hveid=\"0\" data-ved=\"0CAAQ_4QMahcKEwjo2s2I6YOTAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQOw\">How to install BriodLights Olympus\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you looking to upgrade your vehicle with high-performance lighting?
