Marker light harness only from front fender. ( see figure 1 )

STEP 8: Remove entire fender components. ( see picture 11 )

STEP 9: Separate the three pieces of the factory fender and repeat step 1-8 on

Opposite side.

STEP 10: With the entire fender off use the rubber grommet of the supplied side marker
light to mark out over the existing hole with a magic marker.(see picture 11&12 )

STEP 11: Using a die grinder to enlarge the existing hole to the fit the rubber grommet
(approximately 3/4” diameter). (see picture 13)

STEP 12: Put rubber grommet in enlarged hole then insert marker light into rubber
grommet. You may want to lubricate grommet for easier installation.
(see picture 14)

STEP 13: You will need to shorten the factory wiring, When you do, stager your cuts on the
individual wires so that when you put the wires back into the wire loom it will not
be bulging out of the wire loom (see picture 14). When hooking up the wires

we have found that you need to go Black to White / White to Black.

STEP 14: Bolt on the top trim out piece as shown behind fender panel. (see picture 15)

STEP 15: Place the wheel well skirt inside the wheel well and try and re-use existing plastic

push in buttons taken out from wheel well plastic skirt. You want you to re-use
the old push in buttons because you will need to remove them again in order to
trim the plastic wheel well skirt and damaging them when removing them wont
matter. (see picture 16,17) Picture 16 shows the top trim piece notched in order
to get around the plastic skirt but DO NOT notch the metal top trim piece, in
stead cut the plastic skirt in order to fit the skirt up tight against the top of the
wheel well. Also put top trim out bracket inside wheel well as shown in picture
17 for trimming and final assembly.

STEP 16: With the plastic wheel well skirt in place and the used plastic push buttons
holding the skirt in the proper place use a silver sharpie to mark the skirt for
trimming. Make sure the skirt is tight against the top, front side and back side of
the wheel well when marking the trim line. (see picture 17&18)

STEP 17: Remove the plastic skirt from the wheel well and trim to your marked lines.
