through each one of the outer holes. Ensure wires are not pinched to
avoid shorting! Slide the aluminum spacer over the stud thorough the
hole in the center of the spacer, shoulder side toward the back of the tail
light bezel.
8. Secure the aluminum spacer with the supplied #6 nut and lock washer.
9. Make sure the original lens gasket is in place and replace the tail light
lens. Tighten the screws down carefully.
10. 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.
11. 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.

and rear or do not have front bulbs you will need a no-load flasher, Dakota Digital part number
