Tools Required
- 5/32" or 4mm Allen key
- 3/8" wrench
- T40 Torx wrench
- Wire cutters
Mounting Instructions
Step 1 — Install Reverse Brackets
Using a T40 Torx wrench, remove the T40 bolt on the backside of the bumper. Install the reverse bracket by threading the factory bolt through the circular hole in the bracket and reinstalling into the bumper — make sure the "L" bracket faces the front of the vehicle. Place a level on the mounting platform and tighten the bolt to 18 ft-lbs when level. Repeat on the other side.
Step 2 — Mount LED Pods
Install your Stage Series pods onto the universal brackets using the provided hardware. Using a 5/32" Allen key and 3/8" wrench, tighten just enough that the pod retains its position but can pivot with force for aiming. Repeat on the other side.
Wiring Instructions
Step 3 — Connect Trailer Hitch Harness
Note: C1R pods use the C1R 7-pin dual output wiring harness. All other 4-pin Stage Series pods use the regular 7-pin dual-output harness. From underneath the vehicle, disconnect the factory trailer hitch connector. Connect the provided 7-pin harness inline between the factory harness and the connector on the back of the bumper. Plug the DT connectors into the back of the LED pods.
Step 4 — Aim, Test, and Secure
Aim the pods as desired — aiming can be done with pods installed on the vehicle (no removal needed). Tighten hardware using a 5/32" Allen key and 3/8" wrench. Test all functions and secure the wiring harness with the included zip ties.
