Installation Tools

  • 5mm Allen key
  • 10mm wrench
  • 10mm socket
  • 13mm wrench
  • 18mm ratchet
  • 5/32-inch Allen wrench
  • 3/8-inch wrench
  • T30 Torx bit

Installation Instructions

Step 1 - Install the Roller Mounts

Slide the roll bar mount over the roll cage and secure the mounting platform by running the included bolt, washer, and locking nut through the mount. Align the block at the center of the roller and use a 5mm Allen key and 10mm wrench to tighten it securely.

Step 2 - Attach the Universal Brackets

Bolt the universal SSC2 U-bracket onto the roller mount using the included washer and bolt. Once secured, attach the SSC2 LED pods to the universal bracket. Insert the supplied bolts and locking nuts and tighten them using a 5/32-inch Allen wrench and 3/8-inch wrench. Repeat this process for the second pod on the opposite side.

Step 3 - Prepare the Vehicle Interior

Inside the vehicle, disconnect the passenger seat belt harness by pulling the loop end through and out. Adjust the seat forward and use an 18mm ratchet to remove the two gold locking nuts behind the seat. Adjust the seat all the way back and use a 13mm wrench and ratchet to remove the two front mounting bolts. Once removed, lift the seat out and set it aside.

Remove the access panel along the passenger-side console by gently pulling it away from the retention tabs, starting at the left corner. Repeat for the forward-most panel to access the battery.

Step 4 - Connect the Wiring Harness

Use a 10mm socket to disconnect the positive lead from the battery and secure it away from the terminal. Peel back the rubber cover on the bus bar and use a 10mm ratchet to loosen the positive and negative connections. Attach the positive and negative leads from the harness, tighten them securely, and reattach the rubber cover.

Route the switch leads to the desired location, ensuring they avoid moving parts. Connect your own switch or use the one provided. Confirm functionality before final placement.

Step 5 - Route and Connect the DT Harness

Route the DT connectors through the console toward the rear of the vehicle. On the driver’s side, pull the connector through the factory harness loom to avoid tangling with any moving or hot parts. Push the wire through the gap in the protective bracket and route it up behind the shock.

Remove one T30 Torx bolt near the shock to secure the harness. Plug the DT connector into the SSC2 pod and repeat this process for the other side. Ensure all wiring is routed away from hot or moving parts.

Step 6 - Test and Finalize Installation

Reconnect the positive battery lead and test the functionality of the kit. For the Chase Light Kit, confirm that the amber backlight and the main beams are functioning as intended. For the Reverse Light Kit, ensure the white reverse light and red running light operate correctly.

Secure any loose wiring with zip ties and reassemble the vehicle by reversing the disassembly steps.

The installation is now complete. Enjoy your new Stage Series Chase or Reverse Light Kit!
