Installation Procedure

1. Disconnect the battery: For safety, remove the negative terminal before working on the electrical system.
2. Remove the existing stop light assembly: Unscrew or unclip the factory lamp from its housing. Carefully note any wiring harness connections.
3. Connect the new LED stop light: Attach the supplied connector to the vehicle’s harness, ensuring a secure fit. The LED driver is pre‑wired for direct plug‑and‑play compatibility.
4. Mount the lamp: Secure the LED unit into the rear housing using the included brackets or screws. Verify that the lamp sits flush with the body to maintain aerodynamic integrity.
5. Reconnect the battery and test: Restore the negative terminal, then activate the brake system to confirm proper illumination of the new stop light.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting

• Cleaning: Wipe the lamp surface with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive materials that could damage the LED housing.
• LED Failure: If the light does not illuminate, check the wiring harness for continuity and inspect the connector pins for corrosion or disconnection.
• Electrical Issues: Verify that the vehicle’s brake light circuit is functioning correctly. A malfunctioning brake switch can prevent the LED from activating.
