The HG2 Runner® Package is an extremely versatile
emergency lighting system designed for maximum visibility
with a minimal footprint. HG2 Runners were developed to
enhance the outline of a vehicle’s prole (rear of vehicle),
oering greater visibility through installation location,
variable ash patterns and lighting intensity.
Our patent-pending designs feature super-bright, wide-
angle LEDs, a high-impact polycarbonate housing and a
powder-coated extruded aluminum mounting sleeve for
stealth installation.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1:
Place runner against tailgate to ensure correct
sizing and placement before beginning the install.
Above the central license plate location, just
before the right license plate light, there will be a
notch at the top of the bumper. (Circled in red.)
This notch is where the vehicle manufacturer’s
tools go into the tube and allow the winch to drop
the spare tire.
Do not block this notch with the rear runner light
or you will be unable to drop the vehicle’s spare
tire.
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT THE INSTALLER
HAS ASSISTANCE IN POSITIONING AND HOLDING THE
RUNNER ASSEMBLY DURING THE INSPECTION AND
MOUNTING PROCESS.
Step 2:
To ensure that placement of the rear runner does
not interfere with spare tire winch or tail gate
usage, insert the shaft extension for the spare
tire winch into the notch to use as a reference. In
the back steel plate under the tail gate there is a
small cut out notch. Use this notch as a height
reference.
Step 3:
With the shaft extension in place as a reference,
use one self-tapping #8 screw in the middle of
the rear runner to secure.
NOTE: Check once again for runner obstructing
the tailgates pathway.
