ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Thread the TAP END (short end)
of stud into tapped hole (A) of the
bracket frame seat all the way
to the flat section using a 3/8” or
adjustable wrench on the flat section.

5. When installing REFLECTORS, make sure the end cap and
bracket reflector recesses are clean, dry and free from any
oil or dirt. The use of a cleaning solution is recommended.
View bracket from the rear as it would be mounted on the truck and
start from the outside end. Insert two nylon snap rivets into the holes
of a white reflector. DO NOT push on the heads of the snap rivets
at this time. Peel the protective strip from the adhesive backing.
Insert the rivets into the two mounting holes closest to the end of
the bracket. Press the reflector in place. Now push the heads of
the snap rivets firmly in. Repeat the process with the red reflector,
placing it next to the white one. Make sure to use the snap rivets
to align the reflector with the mounting holes. Do the same thing
with a white reflector, placing it next to the red one.

compound may be
used on tap end of stud
2. Thread the TAP END of the other stud in either tapped hole
(B) or (C) of the bracket frame seat all the way to the flat section using a 3/8” or adjustable wrench on the flat section. Use

stud/hole centers.
