4. Installation Guide

Installation is a direct replacement process. No drilling or cutting is required. For optimal results, it is recommended to test the lights before fully securing them.

4.1. Tools Required

• 10mm Socket Wrench or Phillips Head Screwdriver (depending on vehicle model)
• Pliers (for resistor mounting, if applicable)

4.2. Step-by-Step Installation

1. Open Tailgate: Lower your truck's tailgate to access the tail light assembly.
2. Remove Fasteners: Locate and remove the two 10mm bolts or screws holding the factory tail light in place. These are typically found on the inside edge of the tail light assembly.
3. Detach Factory Tail Light: Gently pull the tail light assembly straight back, away from the truck body. It may be held by plastic clips that will release with a firm pull.
4. Disconnect Wiring: Carefully disconnect the wiring harnesses from the factory tail light bulbs. For the reverse light, you will need to transfer the factory bulb and socket to the new LED assembly.
5. Prepare New LED Tail Light:
   • Connect the new LED tail light's wiring harnesses to the vehicle's existing wiring.
   • For the reverse light, insert the factory reverse light bulb and socket into the designated opening on the new LED tail light assembly.
   • If load resistors are included and not pre-mounted, secure them to a metal surface away from plastic components to dissipate heat.
6. Test Functionality: Before fully securing, temporarily position the new LED tail light and test all functions: running lights, brake lights, turn signals, and reverse lights. Ensure all lights operate correctly. If the reverse light does not work, try flipping the pins in the reverse light plug.
7. Secure New LED Tail Light: Align the new LED tail light with the mounting points on the truck body. Push it firmly into place until the plastic clips engage. Reinstall the two 10mm bolts or screws removed earlier.
8. Repeat for Other Side: Follow the same steps for the opposite side tail light.

7. Troubleshooting

• Lights Not Functioning:
  • Ensure all wiring harnesses are securely connected.
  • Check vehicle fuses related to tail lights.
• Reverse Light Not Working:
  • Verify the factory reverse bulb is correctly inserted into the new assembly.
  • If the bulb is correctly inserted and still not working, try removing the reverse light plug and flipping the pins before reinserting.
• Hyper-flashing Turn Signals:
  • Ensure any included load resistors are properly installed and securely mounted to a metal surface.
