Step 1: Remove Mounting Bolts
Open the tailgate. Locate the two mounting bolts on the side of the tail light. Use an T25 Torx to remove them completely.
Step 2: Remove Tail Light Assembly
Grasp the tail light assembly and pull it straight back to release it from the vehicle's retaining clips.
Step 3: Disconnect/Connect Harness
Press the locking tab to unplug the factory harness. For installation, connect the vehicle's power plug directly into the new tail light socket until it clicks.
Step 4: Align Guide Pins
Before pushing in the new light, align the guide pins on the back of the tail light with the plastic mounting holes on the vehicle body.
Step 5: Install and Secure
Push the tail light firmly into place, ensuring it sits flush with the body with no gaps.
Step 6: Tighten Bolts
Reinstall and tighten the two T25 mounting bolts. Close the tailgate and test all light functions (Brake, Turn, Reverse).
Common Issues & Solutions
1. Tail light does not turn on after installation
Please first check whether the wiring harness connectors are properly connected and fully seated. Inspect the pins inside the connector to ensure none are bent or misaligned.
If any pins are bent, you may carefully straighten them using a paper clip or other small precision tool, then reconnect the plug securely.
2. Swap test
If the tail light still does not illuminate, try swapping the left and right tail lights to determine whether the issue is related to the light unit itself or the vehicle wiring.
3. Condensation inside the tail light
Condensation may occur due to temperature differences, which is a normal physical phenomenon. After the tail light has been operating for a period of time and the internal temperature stabilizes, the moisture will naturally dissipate.
This does not affect brightness, performance, or the lifespan of the tail light.
