Installation & Wiring Tips:

• Multimeter Verification: Always verify vehicle wiring function and voltage with a multimeter prior to connecting, as vehicle wiring colours can alter or fade in vintage automobiles, or previous modifications can change the wiring functions.
• Secure Wire Joining: Use soldered joints with heat shrink tubing or high quality insulated crimp connectors to ensure long term electrical reliability.

Important Compatibility & System Caveats:

• Wire Colour Variation: Wire insulation colours and overall harness appearance may vary between manufacturing batches. Always match wiring by pin function and position rather than relying solely on insulation colour.
