Bracket Installation
Step 1 – Protect the fender
Working on one side of the vehicle at a time, place painter’s tape across the top of the fender to prevent scratching.

Step 2 – Remove top fender bolt
Gently pry the rubber cowl trim piece away from the front fender and use a 10mm socket with an extension to remove the top fender bolt.

Step 3 – Install ditch light bracket
Install your new ditch light bracket using the factory fender bolt. Place the bracket as close to the fender as possible without touching the fender.
Ensure that the top of the fender lines up properly with the hood and A-pillar after installation.
Remove the tape and repeat the steps on the other side of the vehicle.

Wiring & Pod Mounting
Step 4 – Route wiring harness
Route the included wiring harness along the fenders, outside the hood hinge assembly and under the bracket mounting point.
Secure with zip ties such that the wires cannot get caught in the hood hinge.

Step 5 – Mount LED pods
Once the bracket is mounted to the hood, refer to the Universal Bracket Info/Mounting Guide to mount your pod onto the bracket.
Ensure that the hood can be opened without interfering with the pod before fully securing down the bracket.

Important Notes
- Do not use automatic car washes with this kit installed.
- Secure all wiring away from moving components.
- Verify hood operation before final tightening.
