How to Install Universal Tailgate LED Bar

This super-bright, universal LED tailgate bar can be installed on any vehicle and in any location desired. Yet, despite its universal applicability, you will still want to observe all of the preparation and safety procedures that you would follow whenever working on a vehicle.

Recommended Installation Tools are as follows:

1. Spray Bottle
2. Soapy Water
3. Denatured Alcohol
4. Pliers
5. Phillips Screwdriver
6. Quick Connector

Clean area underneath the tailgate where you will install the LED bar using soap and water as well as denatured alcohol. Test area using a piece of masking tape. If it curls up and pops off continue cleaning until it adheres to the surface without delaminating.

Once the application area is clean locate the adhesive pads on the underside of the bar. Remove the adhesive backing being careful not to touch the exposed adhesive.

Attach the LED bar to the underside of the tailgate as shown.

Remove the two Phillips head screws holding the taillight in place (Most truck tail lights are held in place with two screws but your vehicle may differ).

Remove tail light and locate the reverse light socket that you will need to tap into.

Locate the reverse light socket as you will need to tie into it to ensure that your LED bar will light white when you reverse.

Connect white wire from LED bar to reverse light's positive wire using a quick connector.

Replace the taillight.

Connect the four-way trailer light connector to the LED light bar. Please see the diagram below to understand the connection points.

Please make a final check of all electrical systems and lighting before driving.
