Kit Includes:

Installation:

1. Remove the tail light assembly from the vehicle by removing the original bulb sockets from the

housing. Then remove the housing hardware so it can be removed from the car. Remove the

housings from the vehicle carefully so the housing to body gaskets are not damaged.

2. Next remove the lens. The lens has tabs locking it into the plastic housing. Pry the tabs gently

with a screwdriver to remove lens.

3. Now is a good time to clean the lens and housing. If lenses are in bad shape a new set is

recommended.

4. Remove the mounting plate from the bottom of the assembly which is attached with two 3/8” 6-

32 machine screws. The LED assembly is fastened to the mounting block on a slotted hole as

shown in the picture below. This will normally be secured in the center of the slot but can be

adjusted up or down to move the tail light focus.

5. Pass the wires through the tail light housing where the original bulb and socket were. Feed the wires through the larger hole in the mounting plate. Guide the mounting plate to the bottom of the housing. The flat side of the mounting plate should be down and the side with the slight raised center should go up into the housing. This will align the mount in the original housing. 6.
