RECON 26417 Bed Rail Light Kit - Manual (Page 12)

Place the protector over the light tube you just made and mark with a Sharpie pen the
areas to be cut out. Then cut these out with a box/utility knife. I found this easier to do if
you insert a large wooden dowel rod or scrap 1.5” PVC pipe to act as a backer. Once the
cutouts are made slide the red covering onto the light bar and mark the ends to be cut just
short of the PVC ends to allow for a sliding action without hitting the well nut brackets.
Option: you can make it such that it is the same length and change settings by twisting
the protector to expose or cover the lights. I however felt that it might not be snug
enough to stay in place thus opting for the slide action route.
Epoxy a “guide ring” inside the protector tube. The tube is actually quite a bit larger than
the 1.5” PVC conduit. Therefore, take a pipe joining fitting and cut four ¼” rings off.
Hand sand the interior of each ring until the rings slidesmoothly with some pressure. DO
NOT OVERSAND as then rings will slide freely and tube will not stay in place!
