BMW E36 Fitting Instructions: Thank you for purchasing Eclipse Lights for your BMW E36. Please read through these instructions carefully before installation.

CAUTION Eclipse lights are made from GLASS, please be careful when handling the rings to avoid any breakages or personal injury. DO NOT put any force on the rings at any time during installation When correctly installed the rings will provide years of trouble free operation. The kit is very easy to install. Please take your time during the installation. The rings, once installed, are durable enough to take the rigors of driving. When installed the rings will resist vibration extremely well. The rings are only susceptible to breakage during installation if not careful. Do not attempt to flex, bend or put pressure on the ring itself. The rings can shatter when broken which may result in flying glass. It is advisable to wear eye protection when handling & installation the rings. All fluorescent lamps contain small amounts of Mercury. If you break a ring do not blow the debris away or inhale the powder. Wipe up any debris with a damp paper towel. Handle the rings with care until they are installed inside of headlights and they will provide years of trouble free operation. Lamps can last for over 100,000 hours of operation. The power packs included have to be hard wired into the headlamps. Ensure you have suitable connectors or soldering equipment available before installation. Please contact us if you have questions before continuing Eclipse Lights are guaranteed for 1 year. Return any defective components for immediate replacement. (Rings which have been broken during installation are not covered) Enjoy your product The Eclipse Team

2, Unclip the lens assembly from the rear housing. There are 4 clips to release, 2 on each side of the headlamp.

3, Pull the lens assembly apart from the rear housing and place on a clean surface. Ensure that the headlamp lenses are clean and free of any dirt/dust. Clean them it if necessary !

4, Carefully slide a tube shaped moulding onto each ring.

5, Carefully place the ring into the lens cavity. Ensure the ring is seated flat against the lens.

* It may be necessary to bend the wiring on the end of the ring, If necessary please do so very carefully.

6, Ensure the tube moulding is positioned with the flat surface facing away from the lens, i.e. towards you. Carefully rotate the tube into the desired position, if required.

7, Use masking tape to hold the rings in position as shown.

11, Remove the back cover from the headlamp and remove the side light bulb holder.

12, Wiring the power pack into the side light circuit. The power packs are terminated with bullet connectors which can be removed if not required. Soldering is the best method to join the wires although ‘Scotch Loc’ type connectors can be used. Join the RED wire (positive) from the power pack to the GREY wire (positive) from the headlamp side light circuit. Join the BROWN wire (earth) from the power pack to the BROWN wire (earth) from the headlamp side light circuit. Check that all connections are secure.

You may want to remove the standard side light bulb before continuing.

Ensure the silicone holding the rings is cured before continuing

13, Carefully bring the lens assembly and back housing together. Carefully pass the wires from the rings through the top of the reflectors in the back housing. DO NOT PULL ON THE WIRES as they may damage the rings.

14, Carefully assemble the lens assembly and back housing together. Make sure the wiring is not trapped when reassembling. The 4 clips should ‘click’ when correctly assembled.

15, Carefully pass the wiring from the rings through the back housing as shown.

16, Assemble the wires from each ring into the black connectors. Ensure that the small ‘tang’ on the metal clip is facing upwards. Push the metal clip into the black plastic connector as shown. The metal clips will lock into position when correctly assembled. Each ring should be wired into its own connector.

17,Assemble the connectors together as shown. The rings can be connected to either plug from the power pack.
