Please note: These kits are supplied in plain wood. You’ll need to add your own suede or carpet lining and install your chosen lights.
Please note: during development we found that roof spar hole positions varied from van to van, showing there is some manufacturing tolerance in the body. Because of this, we’ve pre-drilled 12mm holes where the clips are intended to line up with the roof frame but you may need to ‘adjust’ to align to your van’s holes.

- General Notes
The new vehicles are more complicated than the older generation, so they require more work to fit. All parts are cut and ready to fit.
- Pre-Installation Actions
- Wire in your spot lights and feed for the HALO light.
- The HALO light has a hole on each side so you can feed the cable from either direction. We normally feed from the passenger side and leave the cable hanging above the sliding door.
- Fit the HALO LED strip and leave the cables long so they can be routed to the area above the sliding door where your feed cables are already positioned.
- Fit the HALO roof panel and let it hang slightly above the sliding door to allow the cables to be connected to the HALO strip.
- Once terminated, push all cables above the HALO roof panel before final fitting. This is just our method — you can adapt it to suit your setup.
- Rear Alarm Sensor Modification – Remove the rear alarm sensor at the centre rear of the vehicle.
- Vehicle Preparation
Passenger Side B-Pillar
- Behind the top of the seat belt panel there is a cable clip which needs to be removed.
- Cut out the clip above the side curtain airbag to allow the cable to move and create space for the roof panel.
Driver’s Side (Between C and D Pillars)
- There are three plastic cable clips at the rear driver’s side.
- Remove these and move the cable upwards to avoid clashing with the roof panel.
- Filling Gaps at the B-Pillar Headlining
Four pieces are supplied:
- 2 × 12mm rear wings:
- Suede line the roof panel first.
- Screw these through the two pre-drilled holes from the rear of the roof panel.
- These sit just behind the headlining panel once the roof is fitted.
- 2 × 5.5mm front wings:
- Carpet line these pieces.
- Offer them into position over the gap and screw them into the already fitted 12mm wings.
Important: Some vans have headlinings positioned slightly differently during production. Always dry-fit the pieces after the rear wings are installed to confirm if any trimming is required before lining.
- Preparing the Roof Panel
- The roof panel will arrive with the rear 12mm pieces pre-fitted.
- Line the panel with suede. If you choose carpet, make sure it is not too thick because the fit is snug.
- Fit the 12mm HALO pieces using the pre-drilled 5mm alignment holes at both ends.
- Offer the 12mm piece up to the roof panel.
- Insert a 5mm drill bit through the 12mm piece into the matching hole in the roof panel.
- Align one end and secure with a 25mm screw.
- Align and secure the other end the same way.
- Insert all remaining 25mm screws through the countersunk holes to fully fix the 12mm sections.
- Fit the LED strip around the 12mm HALO section and leave the ends long enough to reach your pre-installed cabling.
- Fitting the Roof Panel in the Van
- With a second person, offer the roof panel up to the vehicle.
- Align the six centre holes with the factory holes in the roof.
- The cables above the sliding door for the HALO LED now need to be connected and pushed up behind the roof panel.
- Push the panel firmly up against the roof spar and insert a short clip.
- Move to the next hole and repeat until all six are clipped in.
- Fixing Into the Roof Spars
- Locate the sets of two 5mm holes spaced 40mm apart — there are six sets.
- Use a 3mm drill bit to drill through the 5mm holes into the vehicle’s metal roof spar.
- Use the supplied 45mm screws to secure the roof panel in all six positions.
- Fitting the HALO Trim Pieces
Side Trim Pieces (5.5mm)
- Carpet line each side piece.
- Insert the long fir-tree clips from the rear.
- Offer each piece up to the roof and align the clips with the holes in the 12mm HALO section.
- Once aligned, press firmly until fully engaged.
Rear Trim Piece (5.5mm)
- Test-fit before carpeting.
- It should fit between the two side pieces with around a 2mm gap each side to allow for the carpet thickness.
- If it’s too tight, push the side pieces apart or trim a couple of millimetres from each side.
- Once satisfied with the fit, carpet line it, install the fir-tree clips, and secure in place.
- Rear Alarm Sensor Modification
- Locate the previously removed rear alarm sensor.
- Split the plastic holder by undoing the clips; discard the rear half.
- Drill two screw holes into the remaining front half of the holder.
- Screw this into the HALO roof panel opening with the 2 x black screws supplied.
- Optionally spray the plastic black if the original colour is light grey.
- Make sure the cable has enough length before fitting — it may be tight and require pulling through a little extra slack.
- Final Step
- Fit the front wings to cover the remaining gap in the headlining.
