Installation Instructions
Step 1 — Assemble the motorsports brackets and attach the Stage Series LED light bars as shown in the included diagram. Determine the desired mounting location on the hood. TIP: Identify the mounting position with the hood installed on the vehicle, then remove the hood for drilling and bracket installation.
Step 2 — Drill a pilot hole through the hood using a 9/64" drill bit. Once the pilot hole is complete, enlarge it using an 11/64" drill bit.
Step 3 — Install the supplied mounting hardware into the drilled hole. Secure using a 3/32" hex key and an 11/32" socket. Important: Do not overtighten — excessive torque can dent the hood.
Step 4 — Mount the assembled brackets onto the hood. To secure the latch mechanism, apply downward pressure on the bracket while sliding the latch forward into place.
Step 5 — Adjust the height of the brackets so all bumpers contact the hood evenly. Set the light bars to the desired angle, then wire the light bars and test thoroughly to complete the installation.
