Ok guys, the Chrome LED Tailights took me about 20 minutes to install. And 5 minutes of that is because I had to take one tailight back off and flip the plug in around...I guess I had it backwards. You guys wanted to see it...so here it is:
First, you need to disconnect the negative battery cable with a 10MM wrench or socket. Now go to the back of the truck!!
See the two torx screws? Those are the only 2 you need to remove to get the tailight off.
After you remove the 2 screws, just ease the tailight outward and "pop" the whole assembly out. It's very easy to do without much force. Unscrew with 1/4 turn each light bulb connection. This will remove the entire bulb from each compartment. This is what you should see when finished:
Now you can pull each bulb out very easily and slowly....except for the small clear one. Just remove the bulb on the long harness and the amber one. This should leave you with a small clear bulb, and 2 connections without bulbs.
Once you finish removing the bulbs... you are now ready to install the new tailight. On the LED tailights you will notice it has 2 wiring harnesses with connections. The longest one coming out of your truck gets connected to the TOP harness from the tailight. The connection out of your truck that had the AMBER light gets connected to the middle one on the tailight. The shortest harness coming out of your truck simply screws into the bottom hole on your new tailight. Here are a couple of pics:
Once you have everything connected, screw each connection in it's proper location as described above and secure the tailight just enough to hold it in place. You will need to test them now. Go re-connect your negative battery cable and turn on your lights for testing. Make sure all of them work properly. If one is not working, just unscrew the harnesses from the tailight and disconnect the harness that is not working. Simply rotate it 180 degress and re-install. Now test your lights again. If all is working....you can move to securing the tailight to the truck:
Make sure you don't over tighten the torx screws...top and bottom.
Now on to the finished product. Here a few snapshots of the Chrome Tailights on Silver Sky Tundra!!
Yes...that is a Volant CAI box in the back of the truck...I am installing that after I finish the tailights!!:mosh:
This one didn't come out too well due to lighting....
Here are a few nightime pics:
First one is just the parking lights on:
This one is with the brakes applied:
Last one is where I caught the blinker while it was on!!

As always, a lovely DIY write up. That one is simple enough even I could do it. Nokz said he remembers you from this particular Longo order.
