Installation Instructions
Step 1 - Remove the Factory Grille
Begin by removing the hood cover. Firmly grab the cover and pull it away, starting at the top left side, then set it aside. At the bottom of the grille, use a 10mm wrench to remove the two bolts. Release the two push clips holding the grille in place and remove the grille. Set it aside for later.
Step 2 - Assemble the SS3 LED Pods
Attach each SS3 LED pod to the grille bracket. Slide the universal bracket underneath the mounting tab on the grille. Drop in the carriage bolt and secure it using the included washer, lock washer, and nut. Align the back of the universal bracket with the back of the grille mounting tab to ensure the pod is centered. Once aligned, use a 13mm wrench to tighten the pods securely. Repeat this process for the other pod.
Step 3 - Install the Assembled Grille
Push the grille bracket with the attached pods into the grille slot on the vehicle. Route the wire up and over the radiator. Secure the grille in place using the included hardware. Push four bolts through the grille and align them with the mounting tabs on the vehicle. Install washers and locking nuts on each bolt, then use a 10mm wrench and a 4mm Allen key to tighten everything until snug. Be careful not to overtighten.
Step 4 - 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 by pulling the lever toward you and pushing the seat forward. Use an 18mm ratchet to remove the two gold locking nuts from the back of the seat. Adjust the seat all the way back and use a 13mm wrench and ratchet to remove the two front mounting bolts. Once all bolts are 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 this for the forward-most panel to access the battery.
Step 5 - Connect the Wiring Harness
Use a 10mm socket to disconnect the positive battery lead 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. Add the positive and negative leads from the harness, tighten them securely, and reattach the rubber cover.
Route the toggle switch and DT connectors to their desired locations, avoiding moving parts and the driveshaft. If using the provided toggle switch, confirm functionality before final placement.
Step 6 - Route the DT Connector
Using a wire fisher, attach the DT connector and route it toward the front of the vehicle through the firewall. Once pulled through, route the DT connector to the grille area and plug it into the two-way splitter connecting the SS3 pods. Feed any excess wire back toward the firewall and secure it with zip ties.
Step 7 - Test and Finalize Installation
Reconnect the battery and test the functionality of the switch and SS3 pods. Adjust the aim of the pods as needed, then tighten them securely using a 5mm Allen wrench. Secure all loose wiring with zip ties and reassemble the vehicle by reversing the disassembly steps.
The installation is now complete. Enjoy your new Stage Series LED Grille Kit!
