Taillights

To install tail lights is pretty easy, you will need:

-A screwdriver
-Wire splicer
- wire conectors
-electrical tape


To install the Taillights you will have to open your trunk and peel back the fabric in your trunk. Its pretty simple to do their will be three screws in screw those three. now unscrew the bulbs and remove the old tailight. Now for the new LED tailights you should have gotten a special power box and plug in unit. You will splice your positive negative and ground wires to the power box and the old wiring, now connect the proper wires to the matching ones. Once you have them connected correct test them to make sure all is working, then wrap them in electrical tape make sure the positive and negative are not touching eachother. This coud cause a short out and ruin the power box, once they are taped you can take the conectors to furthur the protectione of these wires slip it onto the wire and clamp both ends shut. you can now take the LED strip and plug them into the power box along with the blinker and reverse lights. This should only take about 45 minutes to do both Taillights. Once the lights are in place and the wires are hidden you can now take the new tailights and insert them back into their orignal spot and screw them in. This is how to install the tailights. Now to tint the tail lights you can leave them out before installing them again, you will clean them off with an alcohal based liquid make sure to use a rag so no residue is left behind then mask off all parts of the tailight that you do not want to be tinted, like the reverse light. You are now ready to spray them if possible hang them up somewhere well ventilated. You can now take your tailight tint and hold it about 6 to 10 inches away from the taillights and spray them in an even light coat let them dry for about ten minutes until they get a little tacky and apply a second coat. This makes the tint stick better, from then on you can apply as many coats as needed.
