Step 1
Picture of tools Used!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 2
Begin by removing the torque head bolts,
the light and cut the wires.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 3
Then use the gasket scraper to remove the old gasket, making sure the surface is clean.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 4
Picture of surface before next step.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 5
Then place 1 butt connecter in each wire
and crimp one end.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 6
Place the new gasket over the wires.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 7
The bottom of the new light.
Notice the loop for the ground wire.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 8
Remove the loop and strip both wires.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 9
Test the connection before crimping. There is a polarity to the wires so leave the lights on while doing this.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 10
Confirm that the polarities are correct and crimp the other end of the connectors. Carefully use the torch to shrink the connectors for a water proof connection.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 11
My truck did not need the new well nuts so I used the old torque heads. Note: The new screws would not work in the old holes so I just use the rubber O ring on my bolts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 12
Screw down tight and your ready to go!
