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 hood light pod relay to the relay plate. (position on the plate does not matter)

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, where the negative eyelet can still split off and
attach to the battery. (10 MM socket, ½” Ratchet Driver)

19. Zip tie the short pod connecting wire lead to the driver side hood bracket as shown.
20. Take the switch wire that is running through the firewall and route it 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.

21. Run the long wiring connector for the driver side hood 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. Fasten the wire running across the engine bay to the sticky harnesses mentioned in step 7. Fasten
the switch wire lead mentioned in step 20 to the designated sticky harness while also running the
passenger pod wire through this harness. Make sure to leave enough slack to attach the pod
connector to the hood bracket without too much strain.
