Right but my comment was about the thread title. Unless the product is actually called “headlight starliner”?

Where are you wiring it for power and how did you remove the headliner. I bought the kit just haven’t had the time to do it since it is so labor intensive.

I'm getting it done by a shop because I reviewed the headliner removal process and it's around 42 steps just to remove the headliner. I also know nothing about electrical. The shop's been keeping me updated and they mentioned they're wiring it directly to the fuse in the trunk, therefore, it should light up with the oem lights when the car is turned on.
