FK8 transplant FL5/FL1 LED tailgate light

[tom12142002]

Thank you. I assumed the wiring harness is routed up the hatch, roof liner, and down the side panel?

Not sure what I am looking it. A little context would be helpful.

So it is basically plug and play?

For those wanting to do this, don’t. My FK7 doesn’t have the hole for the light that OP’s does. I’ve checked videos on YouTube for the FK8 as well, and it is also missing.

You can save yourselves some cash and use typerleds.com and support a small business

You have to drill out/cut out the hole. Thats what the template in the first picture is of

I'm in the middle of installing it on my FK7, how did you feed the wire through the tailgate rubber tube? It's so crowded there already

Use wax spray to lubricate, slowly go through

Makes a lot more sense. After I sent you the message, I reviewed the instructions, and realized I have mixed up the directions of the short harness the whole time lol I should have feed from the tailgate back into the body with the 2 metal pigtails. I'll try again tomorrow.

Thanks for proving it works!

I did it I didn't put in the center, but rather left of the panel. Looking good. While I'm there, also replaced the rubber bumps (I don't think they're reusable)

Found out that the tint shop (they should be the last time that bolt is touched) didn't put all the bolts back inside the handle, only 1 of 4 bolts are present. Pretty upset, but quickly I ordered the bolts, along with replacing a broken green mounting clip. Love this additional feature!
