1. Remove the tail light lens.
2. Remove the light bulb
3. Remove the original bulb connector from the back side of the housing.

recommended.

avoid damaging the wire insulation.
7. Feed the wires through the larger hole in the mounting plate and guide it to the bottom of the
housing. The flat side of the mounti ng plate should be on the outside of the housing and the
side with the slight raised center should go toward inside of the housing. This will properly
align the mount in the original housing.
8. Now hold the LED assembly centered over the hole where the original bulb was and align the
mounting plate from the bottom with the slot in the housing. The screw holes on the LED
assembly and the mounting plate sho ul d be li ned 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.

from the LED assembly to the 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
