2380 SPARE TIRE LICENSE MOUNT

w/3rd BRAKE LIGHT

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: The installation of this kit requires some alteration to your vehicles’ license plate
light and 3rd brake wiring. If you are not comfortable with your abilities in this regard, please
seek out a qualified individual to handle that part of the installation for you.

1. Begin by removing your spare tire from the mount on the back of your vehicle and set it aside.
Check to see if there is an access hole in the center of the spare tire mount where the studs
are. The wiring for the license plate light will need to pass through here. If there is not a hole,
you will need to drill approximately a 1/2” hole directly in the center of the studs through the
spare mount. If the mount is constructed of steel, spray the hole with some suitable enamel
paint to inhibit rust.

2. Place the round lug plate onto the spare
mount studs. The plate is designed to fit
5x4.5” through 5x5.5” lug patterns.
Remove the center cap from your spare
tire (if equipped), reinstall the spare onto
the mount studs and tighten the lug nuts.
The round lug plate should now be
‘sandwiched’ between the spare tire
mount and the spare tire with the
adjustment tube pointing out through the
spare.

3. To install the license plate light, first insert
the wires through the right side middle hole
of the mounting tab on the lower portion of
the license plate holder. The two small
metal screws supplied screw in from the
back side of the tab and into the plastic of
the light housing. The wires will then be
inserted through the hole at the bottom of
the adjustment tube just behind the license
holder and fed out through the end of the
tube.

4. Next, install the rubber gasket for the 6” oblong LED brake light. Press the light into the
gasket firmly until it seats completely. We are only utilizing the green (+) and white (-) wires,
so the brown one can be trimmed short and taped off.

5. Attach your preferred style of plug(s) so that the connections take place within the adjustment
tube, but leave enough slack in the wires so that you can still pull the plug out for
disconnecting.

6. The wiring will vary dependent upon the vehicle, so some wire hunting with a tester may be
needed to help identify which wires you will be utilizing. Remove the OEM license plate holder
and light if your vehicle is equipped with them. Locate the OEM license plate light wiring and
disconnect the wires. Connect your longer wires to the end of the OEM license plate light
wiring and strategically run them along the inside edge of the body and out through the lug
plate adapter. You should be able to lay the wires along existing paths and out through the
tailgate to the spare tire mount.

7. Take your extended license light wires and
feed them into the hole in the backside of the
lug plate and out through the adjustment tube.
Leave just enough slack to attach a plug on
the end so there’s not too much wiring inside
the adjustment tubes once they’re sleeved
together.

8. For the 3rd brake light, you may either splice
into the existing factory 3rd brake light and
have two 3rd brake lights, or cut the wires and
feed them over and through the hole in the
backside of the lug plate adapter.
