Overview

Materials and Cost

Process

• Open trunk
• Remove cargo cover, if using

Push up on the end to get it to snap out of the hook

• Read instructions
• Unroll the guide and cut around the outside lines

• Cut the interior box as instructed

• Locate the portion of the trunk door interior where it’s going to go, then tape the template onto it

The trim panel in the middle is so useful to have. Just line the paper up with it, words legible. I put the painter’s tape up and creased it out of the way for easy access because the paper keeps wanting to roll up on you.

• Find the little alcohol packet that comes with the kit (I didn’t even realize it came with one. D’oh!) and wipe the area within the cutout in the middle

• Pay attention to the instructions here! Locate the mount and orient it correctly within the middle cutout. Tab to the LEFT (otherwise your badge will be upside down)

• Peel off the adhesive backing, fit it into the cutout, and press firmly along the length of the mount for at least 60 seconds

Boom, baby! Ehh, it’s a little off-center, but that’s okay.

• Remove the template
• Now for the hardest part of the install: connecting the light, itself
• Look at the bottom of the badge light and note the rectangle where that will fit in the tab that needed to be pointed left. You have to first push that into the tab and then press firmly so that the horizontal lines snap into the grippers on the mount. You need to hear a bunch of clicks (Notice that it uses CR2450 x2 batteries)

• This is a little bit easier to say than do (at least for me), so I employed the use of the painter’s tape to give me a general idea of where the tab was+

• Several clicks later, VOILA!
• Peel off the protective film and enjoy your new badge light!

Outside and inside view. I wonder if the glare will bother me…

COMPLETO!
