- In this video, I will (attempt) to show how to install the DZG/Tectico Side Light indicator on my 2021 Bronco Sport Outerbanks. Any questions I will attempt to answer if I can. Thank you
Just installed my set using your video. Working great. Thanks so much.
Needle nose pliers really saved the day here popping these clips.
Watched your video, and was done in about 30 min in the rain.
Had to keep going back and making sure I had the right wires before clamping the splicers.
But overall super easy to do with this video.
Thanks for posting. Wife loves her side markers.
I used my wife’s jewelers 90 degree needle nose pliers to pinch the clips. Worked like a charm. You can get them at a Michael’s or Hobby Lobby for cheap.
Thanks for the info, I couldn't get any info on wire connection for the running lights but this solves it.
Glad this helped
Thanks for making easy to install, the wiring colors did yhe trick for me.
Glad I can help and happy the video made sense
Thank you! Really appreciate this.
Happy this helps
Nice job
Omg thank you
Thanks
You should grab some split loom to clean it up
Do you have to strip the wires before you use the quick splice or can you just attach it as they are?
I ate a handful of spinach everytime you said "basically".. now I'm Mr Universe. Lol
Basically ;)
Love the idea, (probably should be this way from the factory). !Looking at you Ford! Wishing their were other options, the factory parts on the outer banks and my badlands are color coded, and these are too basic looking, and would look out of place.
Yeah totally understand. Neat little idea for the cars though. I love how they look, even though its a small detail
Are these using the DRL or just the headlights when on??
I found this very helpful. Thanks so much. 🙂
Did have one issue: the passenger white light is working but the driver white is not. All the blinkers work, as do all the rest of my lights. The red-brown/blue connection looks good.
Do you know what might be causing the problem with the driver white light?
My best guess would be the wire connection is not correct, the splitter did not form a good connection between the wires, or there is a defect in the running light wire from the product. Could possibly from the grounding wire, I'm not sure
those splicers are not reliable. Hardwire it.
@@jonathanoakley88 I thought it was red to brown, not red to brown/blue. Thanks for clearing that up, should make a difference....lol
How do you get the plug and play connectors that come on the amber only version onto the side marker lights only? Don't want them as blinkers.
Don't quote me, hopefully you've already figured it out, but I would assume they connect to the daytime running light wire. That would feed a constant current to the side marker.
I guess I’m having issues with the slicing. Should I use a specific type?
First time I've used what he's using and worked fine.
Dorman 22-18 Guage quick splice.
Put one wire in one groove, the other in the other groove, use pliers and clamp down the metal splicer. Fold plastic over and secure.
How remove plastic factory trim ? Is really hard tried but worried about brake or scratches
There are a couple clips on each trim piece. You have to press both sides of the clip to undo it from the metal connector. If you order the DZG side lights its the exact same layout of clips. You can get an idea of how it looks and works using that, although the DZG/Techico clips are a little harder to manipulate. You shouldnt be able to break the trim or the metal on the car. I put quite a bit of force into removing it, but be careful about not scratching paint. I recommend plastic tools as they are less likely to scratch paint compared to metal tools. The removal is not hard, but it does take time and patience
Trying to follow your instructions but instead of the yellow wire that you have I was given a black wire (-) installation guide says “connect tot he iron part of the car. I’ve got Red(+) connecting to the turn signal light.
Hm very odd. Normally black is a ground wire. I hope they did not change the wire colors in the package. It could also be the brand of the side marker maker. The black wire is almost always a ground connector. I had that connected to the ground wire on the headlight (black-purple stripe connected to black-green stripe wire). Red should be the daylight running lights wire. Yellow should be the turning signal wire. I have a segment at 4:35 for the driver side and then 5:48 for the passenger side. Apologies if my explanations are not great
@@mcdudevidsthere’s another version that does only yellow turn light, so only two wires red and black, red for the turn light and black for ground.
So, can you tell me what purpose that black plastic piece serves on the side of the Bronco??? If it's not already a side signal light, then what is it there for????? Anybody know? Thanks!
My husband said it’s a “step down”
'What is decorative trim?'

How did u figure out which wires to connect?
the passenger side works fine but no running light (white) on the driver's side. Dim or a faint flicker at best. Would that be the red to brown connection?
Help please. My kit came with no instructions at all and I see a lot of people seem to have gotten the same kit I have which only has two wires. A black and a red wire. Does anyone know how to connect these two wires to the front light wires? Which does the red wire connect to and which does the black connect to?
Pretend your red wire is his yellow wire and connect it the same ones he mentioned. Ignore his red wire and those connections. I also bought the same kit as you and this worked.
Yes, thanks that seemed to work and I did change the connectors from the blue ones to the red ones and all was good.
Will doing this void my ford warranty ?
I asked a ford sales representative and was told it wouldn't void warranty. However it would be good to check with dealership first
No. The Magnusson-Moss act makes it so that if a manufacturer wants to void the warranty, they have to prove the modification was the cause of the failure. Even then, it's for that part only and not the entire warranty.
what is pry force…😂
I wish I could even tell you. I have no idea 😂
How did u figure out which wires to connect?
There were a couple guides online that were not great at explaining which wires go to which. But I used those online guides, the little paper given in the package, and some prior knowledge along with a buddy to figure out what goes to what. So this was for sure not my discovery alone, I was just trying to make it easier to understand.
