Remove Taillight Assemblies:
- Open the rear hatch.
- Remove the two plastic fasteners securing each taillight assembly.
- Carefully remove the taillight assemblies to access the vehicle's taillight wiring harness.
-
Disconnect Taillight Wiring:
- Locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connectors behind each taillight.
- Separate the connectors from the taillight housing, ensuring the locking tabs are not damaged.
-
Prepare Grommet for Wiring:
- Locate the grommet behind each taillight where the vehicle's taillight wiring passes from inside the cabin to the taillight.
- Remove the grommet and cut a slit large enough to route the custom wiring harness through.
-
Access Interior Panels:
- Inside the vehicle, remove the rear scuff panel.
- Partially remove both the driver and passenger side interior trim panels.
- Locate the opening between the back of the taillight and the interior of the vehicle.
-
Route and Connect Driver Side Wiring:
- On the driver side, route the custom wiring harness end with the yellow wire out through the grommet opening and through the slit in the grommet.
- Insert the harness between the separated connectors, ensuring they are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
-
Seal Grommet:
- Reseat the grommet and use the provided sealant to seal the cut and around all the wires.
-
Route and Connect Passenger Side Wiring:
- Route the custom wiring harness end with the green wire to the passenger side behind the removed scuff panels.
- Repeat steps 5 and 6 on the passenger side using the harness end with the green wire.
-
Establish Ground Connection:
- Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with a nut in the vehicle frame, or drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw.
- Ensure the area is free of rust, dirt, and paint.
- Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw.
Warning: Check for hidden items behind or under any surface before drilling to avoid damage and/or personal injury.
-
Position 4-Flat Connector:
