step 1. 
First, lift the wheelchair chassis up and place a block  
underneath the chassis. This way the front wheels  
are lifted and free from the ground. Make sure the parking 
brake is still on.

The front left and front right lights use different 
connectors. Make sure the right cable part end up at 
the right connector. The front left connector is 3-pin, 
front right connector is 4-pin.
