Step 13:
If a third brake light is being used, install the third brake light upper bracket onto the
third brake light lower bracket
and secure using the
(4)
supplied
6mm X 20mm
bolts and
hardware. (Fig. I)
IMPORTANT!: Be sure third brake light is mounted so it will be visible above the spare
tire.
Step 14:
Remove the
(2) OE
screws from the
OE
plastic third brake light assembly. Install the
OE
front plastic panel and lens into the new third brake light assembly using the
(2)
previously
removed
OE
screws.
(Fig. I)
Step 15:
Depending on the mounting position of the third brake light assembly the wiring
harness may need to be extended. Extend the third brake light wiring harness to the
passenger side hinge, then up the tire gate. This can simply be done by splicing the wire and
using some insulated butt splice connectors and 18 gauge wire, extend the wire to the
appropriate length. It is recommended to have this done by an experienced electrical installer.
IMPORTANT!: Make sure there is enough slack in the wire throughout the
tailgate travel.
