i have installed a few of them. what questions do you have?
Did you make a template or just set the light on and mark the holes? Also I would assume that the 4 wires for the factory leds are color coded? Also what size is the drill bit for the rivet nuts?

Thank you

yes, i just set the light in place and marked the holes. double check to make sure its straight and drill. i don remember the size drill bit unfortunately, but you can use a step drill. i think the instructions have all the info for you, do they not?

unfortunately i dont remember the wiring colors but you can use a 9v battery to test. ground should be easy enough to find and power up the wires to see what lights up. then test the 3rd brakelight for the matching wires

I must say everything about this install was a challenge but I ordered mine custom painted white and had 2 cameras and one light installed in the housing. The one thing to note is the red led’s have 2 levels of brightness. The owner was helpful and should be able to send you a picture of the directions, if I recall the drill bit was a weird size like 19/32 or something. The directions do not give you corresponding colors so that you just need to figure out yourself. Perhaps obvious but you will have to run a decent gauge of wire back to those lights, nothing existing back there will support them. After all the efforts I am happy with how it came out.

Nice. Yea I got nothing in the box so I emailed Doug there and he sent me a copy. Seems simple enough just make sure it’s straight and drill lol. Easy! Well I hope
