3. Slide the bottom end of the provided relay mounting plate over the battery brace strut. Thread the
supplied nut onto the strut about 2 inches down the strut body. This nut will be used to support the
relay plate and prevent it from sliding. Slide the strut through the top of the relay plate and pinch it
in place with another provided nut.
4. Attach the mirror light pod relay to the relay plate. (position on the plate does not matter)

12. Clean out the hole to prepare it to receive the rubber grommet. Once clear of debris, insert the
provided grommet

18. Returning to the engine bay, fasten the positive and negative eyelets leading from the wiring
harness to the battery as shown. For the negative terminal, zip tie the wires leading to the top of
the engine bay along the fender structure together. Tie of in a spot where the negative eyelet can
still split off and attach to the battery.

21. Run the long wiring connector for the driver side mirror pod across the top of the engine bay where
the sticky harnesses were placed in step 7. Make sure to leave enough slack across the engine
bay for when the wires are tightened down to the sticky harnesses.
22. Use Zip Ties to bundle the wires leading up from the battery and relay plate together. This will keep
the set up clean and ensure the wires run smoothly under the plastic fender trim removed in step 6.
Make sure to leave enough slack for the wire running across the engine bay to the
passenger hood bracket.

23. Take the switch wire that is running through the firewall and route it so it passes through the first
sticky harness on the driver’s side. This wire will only be attached at this sticky harness. The
passenger side pod wire will run through this harness and the remaining harnesses placed down in
step 7. Do not tighten any zip ties at this point.
24. Remove the passenger side fender trim piece by releasing the clips shown below.

25. Remove the foam insert located in the passenger side gap between the fender and the frame of the
vehicle. Route the longer light pod connecting wire across the engine bay and insert the pod wire
into the gap. Let it hang freely so there is play when fastening the wire to the harnesses installed in
step 7.
26. Let the wire ends hang while you begin to prep the mirror brackets and the light pod wires.

Light Pod Preparation Instructions
1. If you have purchased the mirror light pod kit with included light pods, skip to step ___. If you have
your own light pods or bought the CDR series pods separately but have the CDR series wiring
harness, follow the instructions from step one. Specialty electrical tools will be required.
2. Prepare both brackets for mounting by installing the factory weather-strips from the plastic covers
removed in step 1 to the Crawford mirror pod bracket. Use the provided double sided tape to re-
install the rubber weather-stripping.

3. Locate the Deutsch connector wire ends and crimp them to the raw light pod wire ends. Slide the
wire through the mirror pod bracket.

Crawford Performance
Pg. 19
NOTE: Once the wire ends are crimped with the
connectors, slide the wire through the lower hole on
both of the CDR Series Mirror brackets. This is done
so you can mount the pods with the wire in the
proper position. The final results are shown below
for reference.

4. Slide the provided heat shield sleeve over the wire ends. This is simply to prep for later, do not
apply heat yet.
