Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses a floor-mounted dimmer switch and confirm the terminal style before installation. The DS-68 uses a bolt-on attachment method, a single connector, and 3 blade terminals, so matching the original mounting and wiring layout is important for proper operation. Review the vehicle’s fitment notes carefully, especially where the listing specifies floor-mounted, foot-operated, or 3 blade terminal requirements.
