LED Tail Lights for ’62-‘64 Nova

Installation:

1. 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 or replace the lens and housing if necessary.

5. Remove the two screws and aluminum plate from the back of the new LED assembly.

6. Insert the new LED assembly through the hole where the original bulb and connector were. Be

careful when feeding the wires through to avoid damaging insulation.

7. Feed the wires through the larger hole in the mounting plate. Guide the mounting plate to the

bottom of the housing. The flat side of the mo unti ng plate should be to the outside and the
side with the slight raised center should go in toward the housing. This will align the mount in
the original housing.

8. Now hold the LED assembly over the hole where the original bulb was and align the mounting

plate from the bottom with the slot in the housing. Move the LED assembly so the screw holes
line up.

9. Screw the mounting plate into the mount using the two previously removed 3/8” #6 screws.

This will secure the LED assembly into the housing, you are now ready for reassembly.

10. Make sure the original lens gasket is in place and replace the tail light lens. Tighten the

screws down carefully.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. Repeat for the other side.

14. 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
