TOOLS NEEDED .....
Drill motor 7/16" & 1/8" drill bits
12mm wrench Pliers
17mm wrench Phillips screwdriver
NOTE - THESE LIGHTS ARE NOT MEANT TO BE
SUBMERGED IN WATER
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS .....
1. The lights may be mounted anywhere at the rear of the
vehicle provided they do not obstruct other lighting or
interfere with the exhaust.
2. If you have existing holes in the bumper, and they are
located in an area that is practical for mounting, then use
these holes. This will make your installation much faster by
eliminating any necessary drilling.
3. If you do not have existing holes then you must drill two
10mm holes (7/16" will also work) in an appropriate location
under the bumper.
4. Put one of the bolts up through the small slot in the bracket
and then up through the hole in the bumper securing it with a
lock washer and nut. Do the same with the other bracket.
5. Attach one of the lights to the under side of the bracket and
position it as desired. Secure loosely with a washer and
nut. Do the same with the other light.
GETTING YOUR LIGHTS WIRED .....
1. Mount the relay at the rear of the vehicle within 6 feet of the
KC backup lights using an existing screw if possible.
(PLEASE ENSURE THE RELAY IS MOUNTED SO THE
TERMINALS ARE FACING DOWNWARD. THIS WILL
KEEP THE RELAY FROM RETAINING MOISTURE.) If no
existing screw is available, drill a 1/8" hole and use the
screw included. NOTE - In some cases the relay can be
mounted inside the taillight. This makes it easy to find your
2. Determine where in the engine compartment you have a
suitable 12 volt power source (battery or accessory terminal
block). Remove the fuse and route the 25 ft. green wire from
the KC relay forward, using the shortest route and following
existing wires if possible to the power source. Attach the
green wire to the 12 volt supply.
3. Connect the white wire to the factory backup wire using the
wire splice connector included with the kit.
4. Locate the red wire from the relay and plug it into the KC
backup light red wire furthest from the relay. Now run this
red wire past the other backup light and attach the wire
splice where you can easily plug in the second light.
5. The black wire on the KC light is to be attached to a good
chassis ground. In most cases, if the lights are mounted on
a metal bumper, the black wire can be attached right to the
light mounting bolt. If they do not work with the ground wire
attached this way, you may have to run the black wire back
to some point on the frame.
6. All that's left is to replace the 20 amp fuse, adjust your lights
to your particular needs and tighten them securely.
