Kit includes:
Installation: 40-53 Chevrolet Pickup
1. Remove the screw that holds the lens on and remove from the housing.
2. Remove the light bulb(s) from the socket(s).
3. Disconnect the tail light wires from the vehicle. (If there is no place to disconnect the wires, the
wires will need to be cut and will be spliced to the LED assembly later.)
4. Remove and save the screws that hold the bulb socket bracket in the housing and remove the
bracket from the housing. (Note on some reproduction housings there is only one screw
holding the bracket in place.) Pull the wires from the socket out of the hole in the back of the
tail light housing.
5. Now is a good time to clean the lenses and tail light housings. If the lenses are in poor
condition a replacement set is recommended.

6. Work the cable from the LED assembly through the hole in the back of the tail light housing
from inside the housing.
7. Place the LED assembly into the tail light housing. For original housings, a countersunk screw,
nut and washer is provided for the bottom hole. The screw should go into the housing from the
back and the washer and nut should hold the bracket against the back of the housing. For
some reproduction housings, the narrow bottom of the LED assembly bracket fits into a slot on
the bottom of the housing.
8. Use the top screw from the original light bulb bracket to secure the top of the LED assembly.

an original housing. LED assembly mounted in a reproduction housing.
9. Reinstall the tail light lens and secure with the lens screw.
10.Use a wire crimping tool to crimp the ring terminal onto the BLACK wire from the LED
assembly.
11.- If the tail light wires from the vehicle have blade connectors, use a wire crimping tool to crimp
the provided male blade connectors to the GREEN and RED wires from the LED assembly.
- If the tail light wires no longer have blade terminals or were cut, 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.

12.Attach the ground wire ring terminal to a good chassis ground and secure the LED assembly
cable to prevent the cable from shaking and breaking the ground wire.
13.Repeat the steps above for the other tail light.
14.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
