Installation Instructions
Step 1 — Using a 13mm socket, loosen the factory bumper mounting screw (do not fully remove it). Then remove the adjacent 13mm screw completely.
Step 2 — Using an 8mm socket, loosen the screw on the strut mounting point without fully removing it. Then remove the adjacent strut screw completely.
Step 3 — Slide the fog light bracket between the bumper and the support. Using the factory mounting point, reinstall the original 13mm screw and hand-tighten only.
Step 4 — Slide the other side of the bracket between the strut and the bumper. Using the included M6 hardware, install the bolt and hand-tighten only.
Step 5 — Once the bracket is properly aligned, tighten all previously loosened and hand-tightened fasteners to fully secure the bracket.
Step 6 — Using the included hardware, attach the SS3 pods to the included bracket, then attach the assembly to the bracket on the vehicle. Keep all mounting hardware secure while allowing slight adjustment for final aiming.
Step 7 — Route the wiring harnesses following factory wire paths and avoiding hot or moving components. The included harness allows switching between road-legal fog lights, ambient backlight illumination, and off-road lighting using either the supplied 3-way switch or the factory upfitter switches. Secure all wiring and verify proper connections before proceeding.
Fog Light Aiming Instructions
Step 8 — Park the vehicle on a level surface 25 feet from a wall or garage door. Measure the distance from the ground to the center of the SS3 pods and mark this height on the wall using tape. Add a second strip of tape four inches below the mounting height to create the fog light cutoff line.
Loosen the 5/32" Allen bolts on each side of the SS3 pods just enough to allow adjustment. Aim the pods so the top of the beam pattern aligns with the cutoff line, then retighten the bolts to complete the installation.
NOTE: Do not overtighten or use power tools when tightening the adjustment bolts.
