Installation Guide
The installation procedure for the RH side is the same as for the LH side.
Step 1: Remove Existing Tail Light
- Open the tailgate and remove the 2 mounting screws.
- Remove the original factory taillight assembly and all taillight sockets and bulbs.
- Remove all light bulbs from the old assembly, but keep the original reversing light bulb to install on the new unit.
Step 2: Install the New Taillight
- Connect the harness terminal of the new light to the terminal block of the car (excluding the original reverse bulb).
- Screw the harness terminal base into the lamp house.
- Connect the taillight harness and seat the new taillight assembly into place.
- Test the light to ensure everything works correctly.
- Reinstall the 2 mounting screws.
Troubleshooting
If you experience condensation in the taillights, follow these steps:
- Large temperature changes: Check that all vents are free from blockages. Turn on the lights for 20 minutes to raise the temperature and evaporate condensation.
- Leaking seals: Remove bulbs to allow moisture to evaporate. Use a hairdryer to speed up the process.
- Persistent moisture: If seals on bulb sockets are leaking, place a moisture-absorbing silica-gel desiccant packet inside the taillight.
