For future reference: The rear LED bumper lights are configured with three wires: red, white, and black.
- Red – Brake light positive
- White – Parking light positive
- Black – Ground (negative)
Important: Do
not connect the lights directly to the battery without an inline fuse. Doing so may cause premature failure due to overcurrent. These LEDs draw minimal power and are best wired by tapping into the existing brake and parking light circuits at the bulb connectors.
Installation note: It is highly recommended to remove the entire rear bumper during installation. Attempting to remove only the lower valance increases the risk of damage, as there is a body clip and bolt on each side securing the valance to the bumper. These fasteners are often heavily corroded (approximately 80% of the time) and prone to snapping. While bumper removal is somewhat time-consuming, it is straightforward and significantly reduces the chance of damaging the valance—replacement cost for a new valance is approximately $400.
