HOW TO INSTALL RECON ILLUMINATED FENDER EMBLEMS
Prior to the installation of your RECON Illuminated Fender Emblems, please follow the instructions below to
prevent a short circuit in your electrical system which may cause fuses to blow on your fuse panel.
Mounting:
Remove the factory installed fender emblems. Attn: Ford F-150 owners, your emblems are affixed to the fender using
double sided adhesive, so it is best to gently heat the factory emblem with hot air and then use a plastic pry bar to
gently pry the factory emblem off the fender. Be sure to remove any remaining adhesive stuck to the fender and clean
the surface of the fender with rubbing alcohol. Lift the hood of your vehicle & run the wire from the backside of the
RECON Illuminated Fender Emblem through the round hole in the fender and feed the wire towards the front of the
vehicle. The wire can be easily found under the hood inside the fender where the hole is located. Next you mount the
RECON Illuminated Fender Emblems directly in place of the existing fender emblems using the location guide tabs
mounted on the backside of each RECON Illuminated Fender Emblem.
Wiring:
RECON recommends wiring your illuminated emblems to one of the factory installed auxiliary switches located inside
your truck so that your RECON Illuminated Fender Emblems can be activated & deactivated from inside the cab of
your truck. This is best accomplished by wiring your RECON Illuminated Fender Emblems directly to the positive wire
powering one of your factory installed auxiliary switches located inside your cab & by grounding the negative wire
coming off your RECON Illuminated Fender Emblem to a chassis ground under your hood. If your truck does not have
factory installed auxiliary switches, then you can accomplish the same by simply adding a 5-PIN 30/40A Relay
(RECON Part # 264RELAY5) & mounting a switch of your choosing inside your cab.
Install Tip - RECON Illuminated Emblems for FORD F-150, RAPTOR, & SUPERDUTY TRUCKS:
2009-2013 F-150 / RAPTOR- The positive (+) wire that feeds power to your # 1 Auxiliary switch is the yellow wire
located behind the passenger corner dashboard cover; however, if your #1 Auxiliary switch is occupied, then your #2
Auxiliary switch positive (+) wire is the green wire with a brown tracer.
2011-2013 SUPERDUTY - The positive (+) wire that feeds power to your # 1 Auxiliary switch is the yellow wire
(which is clearly labeled) & is located under the driver side kick panel in the wire cluster. If that auxiliary switch is
occupied, then choose another auxiliary switch & power wire to connect to as they are all clearly labeled.
