Installation:
1. Remove the original bulb sockets.
2. Remove the tail light housing hardware so the housing can be removed from the car.
3. Remove the chrome trim from the tail light housing. The outer trim is snapped into place and
will need to be gently pried off with a flat blade screwdriver or similar tool.
4. Next remove the lens to gain access to the housing. There are ten (10) screws that hold the
lens in place, remove the screws and separate the lens carefully.
5. Now is a good time to clean or replace the lens and housings if necessary.

6. Remove the round mounting plate from the bottom of the LED assembly. It is attached with
two lock nuts.Note that there are 4 different assemblies. The left and right side sets are
mirrored.
7. Pass the wires through the housing where the original bulb and socket were. Set the LED
assemblies into the housing so the two studs extend out the hole in the bottom of the housing.
8. Feed the wires through the larger hole in the mounting plate. Be careful when feeding the wires
through to avoid damage to the wiring. Guide the mounting plate to the bottom of the housing.
The flat side of the mounting plate should be on the outside of housing making the side with
the slight raised center toward the inside of the housing.
9. Slide the mounting plate over the two studs and tighten it down with the two #6 lock nuts. This
will secure the LED assembly into the housing.
10.Repeat the steps above for the second light.
11.Install the lens and reassemble the housing, ensuring all gaskets are intact and in place.
Tighten the screws down carefully.
12.Install the housing back into the vehicle.

13.Cut off the existing light socket as it will not be used. Do not strip the wires. Trim the wires
from LED assembly to appropriate length once mounted, making sure wires are routed cleanly
and securely.
14.Use the supplied moisture resistant pigtail connectors* to attach the wires from the new LED
assembly to the existing vehicle harness. Insert appropriate wire from vehicle harness and
mating LED assembly wire into a connector and crimp following instructions below.
*For the best connection, soldering is recommended. But to simplify installation, the supplied connectors will
provide a fast weather resistant connection.
The correct crimp method for the supplied connectors is:
1.) Insert UNSTRIPPED wires into the connector and ensure they are all they way in by
observing the clear bottom of the connector to see the wires are touching the end.
2.) Use pliers to push the blue cap down flush with the edge of the clear body, completing the
connection. The connection will only be correct if pressed firmly down with pliers.

16.Test the tail lights, brake lights, and turn signals. If the turn signals do not flash you will need
to upgrade your flasher. If you are replacing only the rear turn signals you should be able to
use a heavy duty electronic flasher from your local parts store. If you are replacing both front
and rear or do not have front bulbs you will need a no-load flasher, Dakota Digital part number
