Installation Instructions
Step 1 – Loosen factory bumper hardware
Using a 13mm socket, loosen the factory bumper mounting screw. Do not fully remove the screw. Next, remove the adjacent 13mm screw completely.
Step 2 – Loosen strut mounting hardware
Using an 8mm socket, loosen the screw on the strut mounting point without fully removing it. Then remove the adjacent strut screw completely.
Step 3 – Install the fog light bracket
Slide the fog light bracket between the bumper and the support. Using the factory mounting point, reinstall the original 13mm screw and hand-tighten only.
Step 4 – Secure the bracket to the strut
Slide the other side of the bracket between the strut and the bumper. Using the included M6 hardware, install the bolt and hand-tighten only.
Step 5 – Tighten all mounting hardware
Once the bracket is properly aligned, tighten all previously loosened and hand-tightened fasteners to fully secure the bracket.
Step 6 – Mount the SS3 pods
Using the included hardware, attach the SS3 LED pods to the bracket assembly. Ensure all mounting hardware is secure while allowing slight adjustment for final aiming.
Step 7 – Route and connect wiring
Route the wiring harnesses following factory wire paths and avoiding hot or moving components. The included harness allows switching between road-legal fog lights, ambient backlight illumination, and off-road lighting using either the supplied 3-way switch or the factory upfitter switches.
Secure all wiring and verify proper connections before proceeding.
Fog Light Aiming Instructions
Step 8 – Aim the fog lights
Park the vehicle on a level surface 25 feet from a wall or garage door. Measure the distance from the ground to the center of the SS3 pods and mark this height on the wall using tape.
Add a second strip of tape four inches below the mounting height to create the fog light cutoff line.
Loosen the 5/32” Allen bolts on each side of the SS3 pods just enough to allow adjustment. Aim the pods so the top of the beam pattern aligns with the cutoff line, then retighten the bolts to complete the installation.
Note: Do not overtighten or use power tools when tightening the adjustment bolts.
