Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Remove the Taillights:

   • Open the rear door and remove the screws securing the taillights on both the driver and passenger sides.
   • Carefully pull the taillights away from the vehicle, avoiding damage to the alignment pins.

2. Disconnect the Wiring Harness:

   • Locate the vehicle’s taillight wiring harness on both sides. The harness will have a connection point matching the ends of the T-One® T-Connector.
   • Separate the connector carefully, ensuring not to break the locking tabs. Clean all connectors to ensure a proper connection.

3. Install the Driver-Side T-Connector:

   • Insert the T-One® T-Connector end with the yellow wire between the vehicle wiring connectors and lock it into place. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs secured.

4. Route the Green Wire to the Passenger Side:

   • Route the harness containing the green wire and 4-flat connector through the opening behind the driver-side taillight.
   • Continue routing underneath the vehicle to the passenger side, bringing the green wire up through the opening behind the passenger-side taillight.

   Warning: Avoid hot pipes, heat shields, fuel tanks, or other areas where the wire could be pinched or damaged.

5. Install the Passenger-Side T-Connector:

   • Repeat Step 3 for the passenger side using the T-One® T-Connector end with the green wire.

6. Ground the White Wire:

   • Locate a suitable grounding point near the connectors on the driver’s side.
