Mounting Instructions
Step 1 - Mark Hood Hinge Locations.
Begin by lifting the hood of the vehicle. Then, on the driver-side of the vehicle, mark the location of the hood hinges with tape and tape the edges of the hood to prevent scratching.

Step 2 - Remove Hinge Bolts.
Using a 12mm wrench, remove the two bolts securing the hood hinge while holding the back of the hood. We recommend having someone else hold the front of the hood to make sure it doesn’t close when the bolts come out.

Step 3 - Position Bracket.
Place the ditch light bracket under the hinge and align the holes with the hood hinge. Adjust the bracket to leave a slight gap at the back of the hood before tightening.

Step 4 - Install Bracket.
Using the 12mm wrench, secure the bracket and hood hinge using the factory 12mm bolts, ensuring the hood hinge lines up with the tape.

Step 5 - Mount Remaining Bracket.
Remove the tape and repeat Steps 1-4 on the passenger side to install the remaining bracket.
Step 6 - Mount LED Pods.
Once the brackets are mounted to the hood, refer to the Mounting Guide for the SSC2, SS3, and SS5 LED Pods, to mount your LED pods onto the brackets.

A small cutout has been designed on each bracket to aid in wire routing. Use the included zip ties to secure the wiring away from the hood hinge.
Note: Do not use automatic car washes with this kit installed.
