Step 1: Remove the intake in order to free up space so you can get to the back of the passenger side headlight.
Step 2: Remove the access cap on the back of the headlight to reveal the stock bulb. Also think about where you want to mount the ballast so you can clean the surface with degreaser or alcohol so that the sticky pad will stick. I chose to place my ballast under the intake as shown. Also unplug the bulbs wiring harness so you can remove the stock halogen bulb.
Step 3: Drill a 1” hole into the back access cap for the wires to feed through. Then feed the wire harness of the bulbs through the hole from the inside out and seal the 1” hole that you drilled with the gasket as shown. You should have the bulb and the connector that will plug into the OEM bulb harness both coming out of the same side.

Prepare for the installation.
• If possible, install the SWI-X while you are installing the new head unit. Keep in mind you may need to plug in the factory stereo to locate certain wires; therefore do not complete the head unit installation until the SWI-X is working properly.
• Plan a general installation location for both the SWI-X LED and the control body. Keep in mind that the supplied wire harness is two feet long, and the IR harness is four feet long.
• Use a multimeter or approved measuring device for checking vehicle circuits.

Make sure you maintain the vehicle in a clean pristine condition, and trim components are undamaged and placed back into position. Always protect the painted and interior surfaces, on all vehicles during the installation. Have a clean terry cloth and cleaning alcohol with you to clean off any fingerprints on the interior of the vehicles. Note: The 2008 TT is currently the only vehicle that can be ordered with CD Changer prep or CD Changer. The 2008 R8 must have a CD Changer to accommodate this installation.
