Step 6 - Install Stage Series LED Pods to A-Pillar Bracket

Then feed on our washer, lock washer, and fasten the nut with a 13mm wrench.

Step 7 - Adjust Aim / Secure Position

Tilt the pod up/down to adjust the aim to your preference and fasten the 5/32 bolt on the left and right side to secure the position.

Step 8 - Repeat on the Passenger Side

Repeat the same steps on the passenger side of the vehicle performed in steps 6-7.

Wiring Instructions

Step 9 - Removing Drivers Seat (Battery Access)

Reach in between the driver's seat to lift the release lever on the backside.

Then pull the seat forward, up, and out of the vehicle.

Step 10 - Connecting Wiring Harness to Battery

Use a 10mm socket to loosen the negative and positive terminals of our battery. 

Slide the terminals of our included harness in place, and re-secure them.

Now take the relay harness and mount it to the location of your choice or store it away under the seat.

Step 11 - Routing DT Connectors

Take your two (2) 4-Pin DT Connectors and route them to your SS3 or SS5 LED Pods.

You can route the 4-Pin DT connectors to your preference, but we've provided an example diagram below for reference.

Step 12 - Plugging in DT Connectors

Take the 4-Pin DT connectors after routing them and plug them into the back of your SS3 or SS5 LED Pods on the driver and passenger side of the vehicle.

Step 13 - Mounting Toggle Switch

Mounting the toggle switch is based on the user. We've simply zip-tied ours under the dash due to this being a test vehicle.

Users can connect to an aftermarket switch bank or drill and mount their toggle to the dash.

Step 14 - Test for Function

With everything installed properly, you can test for function starting with the backlight feature.

With the backlight functioning, you can test the main beam.

Step 15 - Aiming Adjustments

Finally, we can aim our Stage Series pods as you desire. We can rotate our pods left and right and tighten them down using a 13mm wrench.

Then we can tilt the pod up and down and secure it using a 5/32" allen key.

The installation is now complete. Enjoy your Stage Series A-Pillar LED Pod Kit for the 2014-2018 Polaris RZR XP!
