2 1969 DODGE CORONET LED PANEL INSTALLATION 2 The LED boards are shipped with the slide switch set to sequential mode. We recommend that all slide switches be set to the same setting (either standard or sequential). SEQUENTIAL POSITION STANDARD POSITION Please follow all local laws concerning exterior lighting. Shown in sequential mode Hint You may begin with the LED panel installation, however, you will need to complete the wiring modifications before the LED panels and housings are paired as one. Read over the entire instruction guide to determine the method that works best for you. LED PANEL INSTALLATION 1. Cut off the power to your car. Open the hood of your car. Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery, which will cut off the power in your car. To verify that the power is disconnected, press the brake pedal; your brake lights should not turn on. 2. Remove the current taillights. Turn the light sockets counter-clockwise to remove them from the taillight housings. As a safety precaution, remove the bulbs from the sockets. Put them aside since they will no longer be needed. Remove the taillight housing assembly from rhe car. 3. Position the LED panels. Each LED panel is marked Driver Side and Passenger Side on the backside of the LED panel, which identifies where each respective LED panel is to be mounted. The Driver Side LED panel is shown above.

3 1969 DODGE CORONET LED PANEL INSTALLATION 3 4. Attach mounting brackets. Each light pocket on the taillight housing needs to be marked for placement of the right angle brackets. To do this, first have the housing right side up, Then from the edge of the housing measure back 1/4 and mark a parallel line. Now flip the housing upside down. Then from the edge of the housing measure 3/8 and mark a parallel line. The face of all brackets should be flush to these lines. Remove the protective tape and carefully position each bracket into place. Each housing uses four brackets. The LOWER brackets are to be marked 1/4 from the edge The UPPER brackets are to be marked 3/8 from the ledge. Housing right side up, measure 1/4 from edge for the LOWER brackets. Flip the housing around, and measure 3/8 from edge for the UPPER brackets. 5. Plug in extension harnesses. Feed the extension harness through the socket hole and plug them onto the LED panels. Using these extension harnesses allows for easy removal of the tail light assembly in the future if needed.

Be certain that the LED panels are parallel with the housing edge then peel off the remaining protective tape and affix the LED panels. The correct orientation for the LED panel is to have the arrows on the LED panel pointing towards the outside, opposite of the reverse light socket.

5 1969 DODGE CORONET WIRE SPLICING INSTALLATION 5 WIRE SPLICING INSTALLATION 1. Review the wiring diagrams found on the last page. Each LED panel needs five connections. Listed are the LED harness colors and their respective function. : Depending on make and harness, colors may not match. ORANGE BLACK YELLOW GREEN BROWN - Constant 12 volt power source. - Grounded to body. - Running/parking light signal. - Driver side turn signal. - Passenger side turn signal. 2. Find and access the taillight wires. Pick a point in the rear body panel between the driver s side quarter panel and the driver s side taillight housing assembly and remove the cloth tape to expose the taillight wires. 3. Splice the LED SIGNAL wires into the stock SIGNAL wires. Match the LED harness to the corresponding stock harness as shown below.

Place the grommet around the panel wires and press it into the light socket hole. Test the lights to ensure correct function, then place the lens back onto the housing. The LED light kits are designed for best performance when use an electronic no-load flasher. Shown here is an optional electronic no load flasher available from DIGI-TAILS, ( PN 20-F2 ) If you decide to use a stock bi-metal flasher, we recommend a standard-duty flasher instead of a heavy-duty flasher. If your turn signal circuit includes front and rear LED turn signals, the circuit will not have enough resistance load to operate a heavy-duty bi-metal flasher, so the no-load flasher will be required for both the turn signal and emergency flashers.
