STEP 20
Our bumper sensor holes are keyed to
t each sensor bezel into the correct
spot on the bumper. To install your
factory sensor bezels into the DV8
bumper, look for the letters marked
on each bezel. For example, this bezel
is marked “FIL” meaning “front inner
left”.
STEP 19
Once the sensors are in place, loosely
secure the wire into place with zip
ties (not provided) using the welded
in zip tie tabs.
STEP 18
Install the factory wire harness into
the bumper with the main plug lying
at the passenger side of the bumper.
Loosely lay the sensors over the
correlating holes. Different levels
of factory trims will offer different
amounts of sensors on the front
bumper. Utilize the holes on the
bumper that closely relate to the
factory bumper. Any remaining holes
will utilize the provided sensor plugs.

STEP 23
Install 3” pods into the wings using
hardware provided with the light.
NOTE: We are using two 3” DV8elite pod
lights for this install.
STEP 22
From the back, click each sensor into
the bezel while holding the face of
the bezel. Make sure both tabs on the
bezel are at against the sensor and
that the sensor is sitting ush in the
bezel.
STEP 21
After each bezel is matched up to the
correct location, you need to trim the
tabs on the bezel. Since our bumpers
use a thicker material, you will need
to either use snips or a small Dremel
to shave down the tabs. Take a little
material off and test t until tabs
click into place and bezel ts ush.

the bumper. These are used to bring the
wings up closer to the body and can be
used based on your preference. If needed,
prior to install of the top two bolts on
each side, place up to two spacers on
each side prior to securing hardware.
STEP 24
