Remove plastic trim from the inside of the tailgate by gently pulling on the left side to disengage the clips holding it in place.

Remove the wiring from the vehicle by pinching the white plastic of the seal and pushing it out through the opening.

Remove the (8) existing factory bolts per a side with a 13 mm socket. These will be re-used to attach the tire carrier back to the vehicle after the light is installed.
Installation Instruction

STEP: 4

With the tire carrier removed from the vehicle, remove the (4) existing factory bolts holding the stock brake light to the carrier using a T-30 Torx. Then remove the (8) screws from the brake light assembly using a T-25 Torx. Separate the assembly and remove the wire harness by disconnecting it from the stock third brake light.
Installation Instruction

STEP: 5

Cut off factory brake light connector from wire harness and strip the ends of the two wires. Install one side of the 6-pin connector to the stock brake light wire harness and the other onto the Chase light wire ingress.
Make sure to pin each connector so that the ground from the light and the stock harness are connected. Also, so that the power wire of the stock harness is connected to the white wire of the Chase lamp.

The other 4 pin locations are available should the user wish to make use of the other Chase light functions.
If connecting the other Chase light functions, ensure there is appropriate fuse ratings and wire gauge. If circuit rating is less than amperage required, a relay must be installed in-line to prevent failure.
Installation Instruction

STEP: 6

Re-install tire carrier by feeding the stock wire harness back through the hole in the tailgate, securing the seal plug back into place (ensure plastic snaps into place), and re-connect the harnesses from step 2. Re-install the (8) factory bolts using the 13mm socket from step 3.

Place spare tire back onto the carrier using the stock lug nut on the bottom and the (2) supplied extended lug nut using a ¾” deep socket for the top mounting locations.

STEP: 8

Install this assembly onto the remaining bracket piece using the supplied M6 hardware, do not tighten. Place assembly onto the extended lug nuts and adjust the horizontal position of the bracket assembly to allow clearance with the wheel. Tighten the M6 hardware to secure the light in place.
