5. Replace the Pot1 terminal.
− Cut the Pot1 wire factory terminal and splice the wire end.
− Install (crimp) the supplied smaller 562291 terminal to the spliced end of the Pot1 wire.
− Install the supplied 562499 shrink tubing over the new connector (metal/spade part of the connector must be entirely covered).
6. H3-45 VIP and X3-45 VIP Commercial use vehicles:
− Enlarge the potentiometer opening to 10mm (3/8in) using a regular drill bit.
H3-45 & X3-45 Coaches:
− Enlarge & offset 3.5mm (9/64in) to the left the potentiometer opening using either, a 10mm (3/8in) die grinder bit, a stepped bit or a round file.
NOTE

7. Connect the supplied 563881 potentiometer (once installed, tab connectors will point down).

− Install the potentiometer knob (secure with the small locknut on the side of the knob).
− Connect the vehicle power & turn the lights on to validate that the potentiometer is working properly.
− Make sure that there is sufficient obscurity inside the driving area and watch for a dimming effect on the panel switches, radio & cluster display.
