The Stage Series Backlit Ditch Light Kit for the 2015-2021 Chevy Colorado allows you to easily mount two SSC2 or SS3 Backlit Pods above the hood. These application-specific brackets were CAD-designed to install using factory mounting points. No cutting or drilling is required! This kit features a low-profile design while minimizing glare, and will not interfere with raising or lowering the hood.

Mounting Instructions
Step 1 - Mark Hood Hinge With Tape
Open the hood and mark the location of the hood hinges with tape, and tape the edges of the hood to prevent scratching.
Step 2 - Remove Factory Hood Bolts
Loosen the two (2) 13mm bolts securing the hood hinge, while holding the back of the hood.
Step 3 - Place Ditch Light Bracket
Place the ditch light bracket under the hinge and align the holes with the hood hinge. Adjust the bracket to leave a slight gap at the back of the hood before tightening.
Step 4 - Secure Bracket and Hood Hinge
Secure the bracket and hood hinge using the original bolts, ensuring that the hood hinge lines up with the tape where you marked it.
Step 5 - Verify Bracket and Hood Fitment
Carefully close the hood ensuring no contact is made with the bracket and the plastic cowl. Confirm the hood latches properly and gaps are uniform with the fenders. Turn on windshield wiper to confirm clearance from the ditch light bracket. If fitment is not satisfactory, adjust hood and/or bracket position as desired.
Step 6 - Assembling Stage Series LED Pods
Since this kit is offered with our SSC2 or SS3 LED Pods, the assembly process will vary.
Please refer to the assembly guides provided below:
Assembly Guide | SSC2 LED Pods
Step 7 - Mounting Stage Series LED Pods
Place the assembled Stage Series LED pod on top of the ditch light bracket. Then, feed the carriage bolt through the universal bracket and ditch the light bracket followed by the washer, lock washer, and nut underneath, and tighten it only hand tight to leave room for adjustment later.
Make final aiming adjustments before securely tightening the pods down.
The installation is now complete. Enjoy your Stage Series Backlit Ditch Light Kit for the 2015-2021 Chevy Colorado!
