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!
