Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Disconnect the vehicle’s battery to ensure safety. Remove the existing side‑blinker by loosening the mounting screws and gently pulling it out of its housing.
2. Cleaning: Clean the mounting area with a mild solvent to remove dust or debris that could interfere with the new indicator’s seal.
3. Mounting: Align the Van Wezel 3749915 Indicator with the bracket and slide it into place. Secure it using the supplied screws, tightening them evenly to avoid warping.
4. Electrical Connection: Connect the indicator’s wiring harness to the vehicle’s side‑blinker circuit. Ensure a snug fit and use electrical tape or heat shrink tubing for added protection.
5. Testing: Reconnect the battery, activate the turn signal, and verify that the new indicator blinks correctly. Adjust if necessary by fine‑tuning the mounting angle.

Performance Benefits

• Enhanced Visibility: The LED’s bright output improves safety by making turn signals more noticeable in low‑light conditions.
• Longevity: LEDs typically last over 30,000 hours, reducing the frequency of replacements and maintenance costs.
• Energy Efficiency: Lower power consumption translates to a smaller load on the vehicle’s charging system.
• Aesthetic Integration: The clear glass lens blends seamlessly with most paint schemes, preserving the vehicle’s original look.

Maintenance Tips

• Periodically inspect the indicator for cracks or clouding in the glass. Replace immediately if any damage is detected to maintain optimal light transmission.
