8. Feed the wires through the large hole in the back plate. Guide the
back plate onto the back side of the housing. The flat side of the
mounting disk should be toward the outside and the side with the slight
raised center should go in towards the housing. This will align the
mount in the original housing.
9. Secure the back plate with the supplied #6 nuts.
10. Install the lens and reassemble the housing, ensuring all gaskets
are intact and in place.
11. Cut off the existing light socket as it will not be used. Do not strip the wires. Trim the wires
from LED assembly to appropriate length once mounted, making sure wires are routed cleanly
and securely.
12. Use the supplied moisture resistant pigtail connectors* to attach the wires from the new LED
assembly to the existing vehicle harness. Insert appropriate wire from vehicle harness and
mating LED assembly wire into a connector and crimp following instructions below.
*For the best connection, soldering is recommended. But to simplify installation, the supplied connectors will
provide a fast weather resistant connection.
The correct crimp method for the supplied connectors is:
1.) Insert UNSTRIPPED wires into the connector and ensure they are all they way in by
observing the clear bottom of the connector to see the wires are touching the end.
2.) Use pliers to push the blue cap down flush with the edge of the clear body, completing the
connection. The connection will only be correct if pressed firmly down with pliers.

14. Test the tail lights, brake lights, and turn signals. If the turn signals do not flash you will need
to upgrade your flasher. If you are replacing only the rear turn signals you should be able to
use a heavy duty electronic flasher from your local parts store. If you are replacing both front
and rear or do not have front bulbs you will need a no-load flasher, Dakota Digital part number
