Download instructions in PDF format File size 337 KB Special note on the new 3rd Generation Ram instructions. The first step should be to wire the turn indicator lights. Just unbolt the lights from the Ute Bullbar by removing the two nuts on the back side of the bumper. You have to remove the factory headlight units to get to the wiring, so this is best accomplished by taking this step first. Replace the lights and let the Bullbar turn indicators hang while installing your Bullbar. Simply bolt them in place once you have the Bullbar on the truck. 2nd Generation instructions Download instructions in PDF format File size 600 KB NOTE: For replacement fog lights or if you are adding factory fog lights to your truck, use Mopar part number 55076942AB.
