For Lincoln car owners who want to pursue personalization, upgrading the car’s original cross star logo to a crystal luminous style is a very attractive modification solution today.
This kind of lighting design scheme derived from new energy vehicles can present a unique and cool visual recognition when driving at night. However, special reminder is that the entire installation process involves complicated body disassembly and circuit modification. If your hands-on ability is not very strong and you have never DIYed a car, please try with caution. The following are professionally verified installation guidelines and precautions:
1. Preparation
It is recommended to prepare a professional-grade car disassembly tool set (including plastic pry bars, T-shaped wrenches, etc.), purchase a regular quality-assured illuminated lincoln emblem kit (need to include wire harness protective sleeves and waterproof connectors), and prepare other common tools such as multimeters and insulating tape. It is recommended to consult the vehicle model maintenance manual in advance to familiarize yourself with the distribution of buckles on the car bumper.
II. Lincoln Emblem Replacement Main Installation Process
1,Bumper removal (takes about 2-3 hours)
It is necessary to remove the front wheel arch lining, chassis guard and hidden bolts in sequence, and use a plastic pry bar to remove the joint between the bumper and the fender. It should be noted that some models are equipped with radar modules, and the wiring harness interface needs to be disconnected in advance.
2,Original car logo replacement
Use a hot air gun to soften the 3M glue (temperature controlled within 60°C), and use fishing line to slowly separate the old car logo. When installing the illuminated car logo, ensure that the base buckle is fully embedded and use special adhesive to reinforce it if necessary.
3,Circuit Connections (Key Steps)
Check the headlight wiring harness with a multimeter: the white wire is connected to the positive pole (daytime running light/width indicator light circuit), and the black wire is connected to the negative pole. It is strongly recommended to install an independent fuse and wrap the wiring harness with corrugated tubes. It should be noted that some new models may need to activate the light linkage function through OBD interface programming.
III. Safety Warnings
- There is a risk of spontaneous combustion in circuit modifications, so waterproofing and insulation must be done.
- Improper disassembly and assembly may result in radar/camera calibration failure.
- Incorrect wiring may cause a short circuit in the entire vehicle and burn other components.
- Some cities have strict regulations on lighting modifications.It is recommended to keep the original parts for restoration.
IV. Professional Recommendations
According to statistics from the Automobile Repair Association, more than 75% of DIY modification cases are caused by parts damage due to improper operation. It is recommended to give priority to professional modification shops for installation. Technicians can avoid electronic system conflicts through professional diagnostic equipment. If you love DIY cars and are very confident, it is recommended to film the entire disassembly process for restoration.
