Step 1: Remove existing tail light

  2. Carefully remove the original factory tail light assembly and disconnect the sockets and bulbs. Note: You must retain the original reversing light bulbs to install them into the new assembly.

Step 2: Install the new tail light

  1. Locate the new tail light assembly and connect the wiring harness.
  2. Position the new assembly into place.
  3. Reinstall the two Phillips screws and test the lights to ensure all functions operate correctly.

Troubleshooting Condensation

If you notice condensation inside the tail light housing, follow these steps:

  • Check Vents: Ensure all housing vents are free from blockages.
  • Evaporation: Turn on the lights for 20 minutes to raise the internal temperature and evaporate moisture.
  • Seal Inspection: If condensation persists, check the bulb and socket seals. Remove bulbs to allow moisture to escape, using a hairdryer to speed up the process if necessary.
  • Desiccant: Consider placing a moisture-absorbing silica-gel packet inside the housing if seal issues continue.
