INSTALLATION

1. Locate a suitable location to mount the Pro Chasing controller inside the engine bay.
2. Connect the black wire from the controller to chassis ground. There are several factory ground points along the fire wall and sides of the engine bay.
3. Connect the red wire from the controller to a switched +12VDC source. Adding a 10 amp in-line fuse is recommended. On 2018-Up Wrangler JL and 2020-Up Gladiator, using the JP-LAHl (sold separately) will provide an easy light switch controlled power source.
4. Using a digital multi-meter, locate the +12VDC wire for the left and right turn signals located at the lights. Note the wire colors. Connect the green wire from the controller to the left (driver) turn signal wire, and connect the yellow to the right (passenger) turn signal wire.
5. Run the left channel 4 pin cables to the driver side headlight and fog light locations, making sure to avoid hot surfaces and pinch points. Secure the cables approximately every six inches.
6. Run the right channel 4 pin cables to the passenger side headlight and fog light locations, making sure to avoid hot surfaces and pinch points. Secure the cables  approximately every six inches.
7. Connect the 4 pin cable to the new headlight and plug the H4 connector into the vehicle harness or previously installed adapter. Mount headlight  into vehicle,then repeat on the other side.
8. Connect the 4 pin cable to the new fog light and plug the 9145 connector into the vehicle harness or previously installed adapter. Mount fog light into vehicle, then repeat on the other side.Download app (QR code on back cover of instructions) for smart phone control, and refer to Pro Controller instructions for setup. Pro Controller can also be  controlled from RF remote (included).
