12.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.

13.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.

15.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 a heavy duty electronic flasher from your local parts store should be able to be used.
