Test Your Kit

2. We recommend that you power and test your kit
with a 12V power source for full functionality
prior to installation.

• Test power and function of LEDs by

connecting the Flat 4 Pin Wire Connector
to a trailer tow harness.

• If the vehicle is equipped with a 7 pin trailer

connector, a 4 pin adapter is required.
If a trailer harness is not available, test power
by performing the following steps:

o Use wire cutters to cut o the Flat 4 Pin

Trailer connector.

o Connect the white ground wire to the

negative side on the battery.
Wiring Diagram can be found on page 4

o Then, connect each of the remaining

wires one by one to the positive side
of the battery to ensure all LED’s and
functions are working correctly.

o Remove the Tailgate Light Bar from

power once testing is complete.
