Phase 1Remove the factory badge
01~3 minPrying the factory roundel off with a plastic trim tool

Pry off the roundel

Warm the badge for a minute with a hair dryer, then work a plastic trim tool behind the edge and ease it off. It's held by two pins in rubber grommets plus a ring of factory adhesive.

Don'tUse metal tools or force one edge — that's how paint chips. Low heat and patience win.
02~1 minRemoving the rubber grommets from the badge pin holes

Pop out the grommets

Behind the badge you'll find the two factory pin holes. Pull the old rubber grommets out — HALO routes its wiring straight through these holes, so nothing gets drilled.

03~2 minCleaning the badge recess with adhesive remover

Clean the recess

Dissolve the leftover adhesive with remover, then finish with an alcohol wipe. You want the recess perfectly smooth and oil-free before mounting.

Phase 2Meet HALO
04unboxHALO box beside the car

Unbox

Inside the box: the HALO unit, 12V plug, routing cable and mounting hardware. Everything you need — no extra parts run.

0530 secLifting HALO out of the box

Lift it out

Take a second with it. The bezel is CNC-machined, the glass is sealed to IP69 — it should feel like a factory part, because that's the standard it's built to.

Flip it over

On the back: the power connector and mounting points, positioned to line up with the factory pin holes you just cleared.

Phase 3Wire & mount
07~3 minRouting the HALO cable through the factory pin hole into the trunk

Route the cable

Feed the cable through a factory pin hole and into the trunk cavity. It follows the trunk lining down the side — invisible once the lining sits back.

TipTape the cable tip to a straightened coat hanger if your trunk lining is tight — it pulls through in seconds.
08~1 minPlugging HALO into the trunk 12V socket

Plug into 12V

Connect to the trunk 12V socket — done. Prefer fully hidden power? Direct-wire to the fuse box with the included leads instead.

0930 secPressing HALO into the badge recess

Mount & press

Line HALO up with the recess, press firmly and evenly for 30 seconds. The mounting ring and automotive adhesive lock it flush — under 15mm proud.

Phase 4Power on
10closeClosing the trunk with HALO installed

Close the trunk

Lining back in place, trunk closed. From the outside it reads factory — until you switch it on.

Switch your mode

Open the web panel on your phone — HALO connects over Wi-Fi, no app to install. Pick a mode: videos & GIFs, image, or brightness. That's the whole install.

That's it.

About 15 minutes, zero drilling, fully reversible. Batch 02 ships in ~2 weeks — cancel anytime before it ships.
