Installation Instructions
Step 1 — Inside the wheel well, remove the two plastic tree clips securing the fender liner using a trim removal tool. If needed, start with the trim tool and finish with needle-nose pliers.
Step 2 — Pull back the fender liner to access the factory sidemarker behind it.
Step 3 — Disconnect the factory sidemarker wiring harness. If the connector is tight, use a small pick or flat tool to gently separate it.
Step 4 — Using a T30 Torx bit, remove the bolt securing the factory sidemarker. Carefully pull the sidemarker straight out of the fender.
Step 5 — Install the new LED sidemarker into the factory location. Secure it with the original T30 bolt and reconnect the wiring harness.
Step 6 — Test the LED sidemarker for proper operation. Once confirmed, reposition the fender liner and reinstall the two tree clips. Repeat Steps 1–6 on the opposite side of the vehicle.
