manual abstract
Remove the tail light lens. 2. Remove the light bulb. 3. Remove the original bulb connector from the back side of the housing. 4. Now is a good time to clean the lens and housing. If lenses are in bad shape a new set is recommended. 5. Insert the supplied rubber grommet into the hole where the original light socket was located. This will protect the wires from rubbing on the metal edge. 6. Make sure the stock lens gasket is removed from the housing and place the supplied drill template into the housing and drill three 3/32” holes. 7. Route the wires out through the opening of the rubber grommet. Insert the new LED assembly and secure it in place with the supplied #4 self-tapping screws. Tighten the screws down carefully to avoid stripping out the holes. Only two screws are required to secure it properly but a third is provided in case it is necessary. A machine screw (not supplied) can also be used with a nut placed on the back of the housing if desired. 8. Place the original lens gasket back into the tail light housing and replace the tail light lens. Tighten the screws down carefully. 9. Cut off the existing light socket as it will not be used. Do not strip the wires. Trim the wires from LED assembly to appropriate length once mounted, making sure wires are routed cleanly and securely. 10. Use the supplied moisture resistant pigtail connectors* to attach the wires from the new LED assembly to the existing vehicle harness. Insert appropriate wire from vehicle harness and mating LED assembly wire into a connector and crimp following instructions below. *For the best connection, soldering is recommended. But to simplify installation, the supplied connectors will provide a fast weather resistant connection. The correct crimp method for the supplied connectors is: 1.) Insert UNSTRIPPED wires into the connector and ensure they are all they way in by observing the clear bottom of the connector to see the wires are touching the end. 2.) Use pliers to push the blue cap down flush with the edge of the clear body, completing the connection. The connection will only be correct if pressed firmly down with pliers.

Test the tail lights, brake lights, and turn signals. If the turn signals do not flash you will need to upgrade your flasher. If you are replacing only the rear turn signals you should be able to use a heavy duty electronic flasher from your local parts store. If you are replacing both front and rear or do not have front bulbs you will need a no-load flasher, Dakota Digital part number LAT-NLF.
