The 6 volt LED light strip is 100% weatherproof so you can install it under the engine grill, on the license plate frame, in the rear window or wherever you think it looks best. Rain or wetness is no issue. If you use the adhesive strip, please make sure to carefully clean the mounting surface before installing the LED strip.
If you install it under the grill with our bracket, use the same upper mounting as the luggage rack and use 2 countersunk screws to mount the strip to the bracket and use the 2 supplied bolts to mount the bracket to the luggage rack standoffs. If you have a luggage rack installed, simply remove the top 2 mounting bolts from the luggage rack and slide the bracket between the legs and the stand offs on the rain shield, but flip the bracket over, so the strip sits a bit lower and does not get blocked by the cross bar on the rack.
To power your LED light strip, disconnect the battery, then run the black/blue wire (-) to a reliable ground nearby. If the 356 has a separate brake light function, run the red wire to the brake light wire and splice it in. If the 356 has a turn signal and brake light ‘in one’ (typical for 356A through C) you can either use one of the brake lights as a source (but your 3rd brake light will then blink when you use that particular turn signal) or you run a single power wire through the tunnel or under the mat to the brake light switch on the brake master cylinder for proper operation. Please do NOT use the 6volt LED strip in vehicles with a 12volt electrical system.
On open twin grill cars (T6 roadster, Convertible) - flip the bracket over so the strip does not interfere with the engine grills as shown in photos.
