- Socket extension
- Wire crimper
- Wire cutter
- Panel trim removal tool
- Fishwire
Step-by-Step Instructions:
-
Prepare the Vehicle:
- Locate the vehicle battery in the engine compartment and disconnect the negative terminal. Secure the cable away from the battery to avoid accidental contact during installation.
-
Access the Taillights:
- Open the rear hatch and locate the two fasteners securing each taillight assembly. Use the Torx bit (T-27) to remove the fasteners on both the driver and passenger sides.
-
Remove the Taillights:
- Pull each taillight straight rearward to detach it from the vehicle. Disconnect the wiring connectors from the taillight housing carefully, ensuring the locking tabs are not damaged. Set the taillights aside.
-
Install Passenger Side Wiring:
- Starting on the passenger side, use a fishwire to guide the green wire end of the custom wiring harness behind the rear bumper and into the opening below the taillight.
- Connect the custom wiring harness between the factory connectors. Ensure all connectors are fully seated and locking tabs are engaged.
- Reinstall the passenger-side taillight assembly.
-
Install Driver Side Wiring:
- Repeat the same process on the driver side, using the yellow wire of the custom wiring harness. Guide it behind the rear bumper and into the opening below the driver-side taillight.
- Connect the harness to the factory connectors and ensure secure connections. Reinstall the driver-side taillight assembly.
-
Mount the Converter Box:
- Locate a clean, flat surface near the driver-side taillight that is protected from road spray and debris. Attach the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape.
- Use the provided cable ties to secure the box and prevent movement during use.
-
Ground the Harness:
- Identify a suitable grounding point near the driver-side connector, such as an existing bolt or nut in the vehicle frame. If no existing point is available, drill a 3/32" pilot hole in a clean, rust-free area.
- Attach the white ground wire to the grounding point using the ring terminal and the provided ground screw.
-
Route the Power Wire:
- Route the black power wire from the battery to the converter box. Take care to avoid sharp edges, hot components, and moving parts.
- Secure the wire along its path with the provided cable ties to prevent it from shifting during vehicle operation.
-
Secure the 4-Flat Wiring:
- Route the 4-flat wire to the vehicle's rear center for easy access when towing. Secure any excess wire with cable ties.
- When not in use, store the 4-flat wire in the vehicle trunk or another safe location to protect it from damage.
-
Reassemble and Test:
- Reinstall any removed components and reconnect the negative terminal to the battery.
- Test the wiring harness by connecting it to a trailer or using a 4-flat tester to confirm proper function of all lights.
- Install the provided dust cover on the 4-flat connector to protect it from corrosion and debris.
Hardware List:
- Ring terminal
- Ground screw
- Cable ties
- Double-sided tape
Electrical Ratings:
- Signal Circuits: 3.0 amps per side
- Tail/Running Circuits: 6.0 amps total
