📍 GENERAL INFORMATION
Each Stage represents a different level of features and internal wiring. These options are consistent across most ZLEDS products:
- 🔹 Stage 1 – Basic Functional Setup:
A clean, fully functional LED setup without animations or sequences. Just plug-and-play running lights, brakes, turn signals, and reverse (when applicable). - 🔸 Stage 2 – Sequential Upgrade:
Adds sequential lighting effects using our in-house S10 modules. The sequence applies to either the turn signals, brake lights, or both — depending on the product. - 🔶 Stage 3 – Bluetooth Programmable:
Unlocks full control using the ZLEDS Bit Editor App (iOS & Android). You can assign custom startup animations, running light behaviors, brake sequences, turn signals, and strobe modes. - 🟥 Stage 4 – Full Channel Utilization:
Uses revised LED panels with additional segments, allowing every output channel of the controller to be used. Ideal for customers seeking maximum animation flexibility and visual impact.
No — each Stage is wired differently depending on its level of functionality:
- 🔹 Stage 1: Uses standard LED connections for basic brake, running, and turn signals.
- 🔸 Stage 2: Includes internal S10 modules that manage sequential effects. This requires additional wiring and signal routing inside the light assembly.
- 🔶 Stage 3: Introduces a Bluetooth controller, multiple signal inputs, and animation control wiring to support programmable features via the ZLEDS Bit Editor app.
- 🟥 Stage 4: Expands on Stage 3 by adding even more LED zones and internal connections to use all available output channels on the controller.
🧠 Important: These internal differences mean each stage is designed and assembled uniquely — upgrading later usually requires a full rebuild.
Yes, in most cases upgrades are possible — but it depends on the original stage, product design, and internal wiring.
- 🔁 Stage 1 ➡️ Stage 2: If your product was originally built as Stage 1, we can usually upgrade it to Stage 2 by retrofitting our S10 Sequential Module. This involves sending the part back for service.
- 📲 Stage 2 ➡️ Stage 3: Upgrading to Stage 3 requires installing a new controller and replacing the internal LED boards with programmable-compatible ones. This is a more involved retrofit and priced accordingly.
- ⚙️ Stage 3 ➡️ Stage 4: Upgrading from Stage 3 to Stage 4 involves adding custom panels with more LED segments and rerouting wiring to utilize all available controller channels.
⚠️ Note: Not all older models support backward compatibility. Contact us with your original order details so we can verify eligibility.
It depends on the product and service type:
- ✅ Full Retrofit Services: In most cases, the original OEM connector is reused, making the system fully plug-and-play with no additional wiring required.
- 🧰 DIY Kits or Universal Modules: These typically come with color-coded wires (e.g., Ground, Park, Signal, Brake) that must be tapped into your vehicle’s factory harness.
- 🔌 Semi Plug-and-Play: Some products use bulb adapters or quick-connect harnesses to simplify installation, but still require a few connections — especially for sequential modules or Bluetooth controllers.
⚠️ Note: If you’re unfamiliar with automotive wiring, we recommend having the product installed by a professional.
The ZLEDS Bluetooth Controller gives you full control over your lighting setup using the ZLED Bit Editor mobile app (available for both iOS and Android).
- 📱 App Functions: Configure startup animations, running lights, brake sequences, turn signals, and strobe effects with precision.
- 🌐 Cloud Sync: Access pre-built animation presets and receive remote support or updates via cloud sharing.
- 💾 Save & Recall: Store multiple profiles and quickly switch between them from the app interface.
- 🎛️ In-App Preview: Use the app’s magichat switches to toggle each function sequence.
⚠️ Note: Only Stage 3B and Stage 4 builds include the Bluetooth controller and app functionality.
In most cases, ZLEDS retrofit services are designed to be plug-and-play with your vehicle’s OEM harness.
- 🧩 OEM-Compatible: Many setups reuse the factory connector to simplify installation and ensure proper signal mapping.
- 🔧 Minimal Wiring Required: If extra wiring is needed (such as for a reverse light or sequential module), it will be noted on the product page.
- 🎨 Color Coded Wires: Any required wires are color coded (not labeled), and a diagram or guidance will be provided upon request.
⚠️ Note: We always recommend professional installation if you’re unfamiliar with basic wiring procedures or want the cleanest result.

In most cases, ZLEDS retrofit services are designed to be plug-and-play with your vehicle’s OEM harness.
- 🧩 OEM-Compatible: Many setups reuse the factory connector to simplify installation and ensure proper signal mapping.
- 🔧 Minimal Wiring Required: If extra wiring is needed (such as for a reverse light or sequential module), it will be noted on the product page.
- 🎨 Color Coded Wires: Any required wires are color coded (not labeled), and a diagram or guidance will be provided upon request.
⚠️ Note: We always recommend professional installation if you’re unfamiliar with basic wiring procedures or want the cleanest result.
