Product image checkpoints

  • The matching product page identifies this as a direct-fit, plug-and-play style installation. Use the product images for lamp-shape comparison and confirm the connector locks before reinstalling trim.
  • The visible product-function references indicate running/parking light, brake light, reverse light, sequential turn signal, startup animation checks for this product. Test each supported function before tightening the lamp and closing the access area.
  • If the kit includes a decoder, resistor, control module, or relay, secure it away from heat, moving parts, water paths, and sharp metal edges. Do not add universal electrical parts unless support confirms they are needed.

Product notes

  • Use the product reference images on this page as the product-side visual check for connector layout, rear housing shape, and lighting functions.
  • Original vehicle trim, clip style, and fastener locations can vary by year, trim, and previous repairs. Remove panels slowly and verify each fastener before pulling.
  • Road-lighting compliance and off-road/show-use notes are product specific. Review the matching RIGNOX product page for the exact language for this item.

Before you begin

  • Confirm the exact product: Compare the RIGNOX tail lights to the product reference images, including rear housing, plug layout, lens style, and included modules.
  • Work powered down: Park on level ground, switch the vehicle off, and disconnect the negative battery terminal when handling wiring.
  • Protect body panels: Use clean towels or masking tape near painted edges around the tailgate, trunk, hatch, bed-side access, or cargo trim area.
  • Do not force clips: If a lamp or trim panel does not move, stop and look for another fastener or locating pin.
  • No grease on connectors: Do not apply dielectric grease or weather-sealing grease to connectors or sockets.

Tools and supplies

  • Trim removal tool or panel clip tool
  • Metric socket and ratchet set; verify exact sizes on the vehicle before removal
  • Phillips and flat screwdrivers
  • Clean microfiber towels and masking tape
  • Electrical tape and zip ties for securing included harnesses only
  • A helper for brake-light and reverse-light testing

Remove the original tail lights

  1. Remove the tail light mounting screws: Lower the tailgate to access the two mounting screws along the inner edge of the factory tail light. Remove both screws.

  2. Pull the factory tail light outward: Grip the factory tail light securely and pull it sideways toward the outside of the truck to release it from the body. Do not pull the assembly straight toward the rear.

Install the RIGNOX tail lights

  1. Install and secure the new LED tail light: Connect all electrical connectors to the new LED tail light. Push the tail light assembly back into its original position, then reinstall and tighten the mounting screws.

Electrical and function test

  1. Confirm running/parking lights on both sides.
  2. Confirm brake lights with a helper pressing the brake pedal.
  3. Confirm left and right turn signals, hazards, and sequential behavior where supported.
  4. Confirm reverse lights with the vehicle safely in reverse and the parking brake applied.
  5. Confirm startup animation or RGB/app functions only after normal road-light functions pass.
  6. Check for dashboard warnings, hyperflash, flicker, or intermittent operation before reinstalling final trim.

Final check

  • All connectors are locked, dry, and routed without tension.
  • Included modules or extra harnesses are secured away from heat, water paths, moving parts, and sharp edges.
  • Both tail lights sit flush with even body gaps and properly seated seals.
  • All supported lighting functions pass on both sides.
  • No warning lights, flicker, hyperflash, abnormal heat, moisture issue, or loose wiring remains after a short check drive.

Troubleshooting

  • One lamp does not turn on: Recheck the main connector lock, related fuse, and battery connection.
  • One function does not work: Compare the plug area to the product reference images and verify the connector is fully seated.
  • Warning message, flicker, or hyperflash: Confirm the correct product variant was installed and that any included decoder, resistor, or relay is connected and secured.
  • Moisture appears: Light condensation may clear as the lamp warms. Heavy or persistent moisture should be documented with photos before continued use.

Need help?

If the original lamp, vehicle connector, or included harness does not match the product reference images, stop before modifying wiring. Contact RIGNOX support with your order information, vehicle year/model/trim, product variant, and clear photos of the connector area, rear housing, mounted body gap, and each lighting function.
