Tips:
- Removing the end caps from the running lights can make it easier to thread them through the grommet.
- If you have difficulty pulling the running lights through the grommet, consider using needle nose pliers to aid in the process.
- A long dowel may also be helpful for ‘threading’ the running lights
through the sleeve.
By following these steps, you can successfully install LED running lamp/turn signal strips with JReady connectors on your vehicle, improving its visibility and safety.
