Tail Light Wiring Kit Installation - 2013 Ford Focus- Video

Today on our 2013 Ford Focus we'll be installing the Hopkins custom taillight wiring kit for towed vehicle, part number HM56008. Now once we have our install complete we can go ahead and test our new baseplate kit. Here we can test the driver side turn signal, the driver side brake, the passenger side turn signal, and the passenger side brake. Once we know those are functioning we can also go ahead and test the taillight circuit and show that our running light circuit works. Now to begin our install we're going to start at the rear of the vehicle, opening up the rear hatch, as we need to access the manufacturer's wiring behind the taillight assembly. My first step is going to be removing the spare tire and rear cargo cover. Next I'm going to remove the rear threshold. more
