Dakota Digital LED Tail Lights LAT-NR100 - Manual (Page 3)

MAN# 650153
7. Feed the wires through the larger hole in the mounting plate. Guide the mounting plate to the
bottom of the housing. The flat side of the mounting plate should be down and the side with
the slight raised center should go up into the housing. This will align the mount in the original
housing.
8. Now hold the LED assembly so that it is centered over the hole where the original bulb was
located and align the mounting plate from the bottom with the slot in the housing. The screw
holes should be lined up.
9. Screw the mounting plate into the assembly mount using the two previously removed 3/8” 6-32
screws.
10. Install the lens and/or re-assemble the tail light housing, insuring all gaskets are intact and in
place. Install the tail light housing back into the vehicle. You are now ready to wire the LED
assembly into the vehicle tail light harness.
11. Start by cutting off the existing light socket as it will not be used. Do not strip wires. Trim the
wires from LED assembly to appropriate length once mounted, making sure wires are routed
cleanly and securely.
12. Use the supplied moisture resistant pigtail connectors* to attach the wires from the new LED
assembly to the existing vehicle harness. Insert appropriate wire from vehicle harness and
mating LED assembly wire into a connector and crimp following instructions below.
*For the best connection, soldering is recommended. But to simplify installation, the supplied connectors will
provide a fast weather resistant connection.
The correct crimp method for the supplied connectors is:
1.) Insert UNSTRIPPED wires from both LED assembly and vehicle harness into the connector
and ensure they are all they way in by observing the clear bottom of the connector to see the
wires are touching the end.
2.) Use pliers to push the blue cap down flush with the edge of the clear body, completing the
connection. The connection will only be correct if pressed firmly down with pliers.
