Taillight Euro-Guard Installation
Figure 1 Figure 2
Step One: Remove Original Screws
Put on safety glasses. Starting on the
Passenger side Taillight, Carefully remove the four (4) taillight mounting screws with a Phillips head screw driver
(Fig 1). Upon removal, notice the width difference when removed. The larger screws (thicker) go on the outside of the
Taillight housing where the smaller screws go on the inside (Fig 2). Set aside the original screws, as they will not be used with Euro-Guards.
Figure 3 Figure 4
Step Two: Begin Installation
Locate the Large Replacement Screw and one Lens/Euro-Guard Spacer.
Place the large screw through the outer top hole of the Passenger side Euro-
Guard. Place the black spacer over the screw on the inside of the Euro-Guard
(Fig 3). Install the larger screw into the outer top screw hole on the light housing itself and tighten only slightly.
DO NOT Tighten all the way at this time. Next, move to the upper inside

Figure 5 Figure 6 hole of the taillight and repeat the procedure this time using the smaller screw and a Lens/Euro-Guard Spacer (Fig 4).
Again, loosely tighten this screw into place leaving room to install the lower
Screws into the taillight/Euro-Guard
(Fig 5).
Follow this same procedure for the lower outer screw mounts (Large Screw and spacer) and the lower inner screw mounts (Small Screw and Spacer).
Step Three: Tighten Mounting Screws
With the Euro-Guard and all new screws are in place, gently tighten all four screws starting at the top and working clock wise around the taillight.
Tighten all screws evenly as to make sure the taillight is secured Evenly.
Do not over tighten!
Step Four: Install Opposite Side
Repeat steps 1-3 shown above on the
Driver side Taillight assembly.
Remember to start on the outer holes
(large Screws) and then proceed to the inner section (smaller screws).
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOT TO OVER-TIGHTEN THE
SCREWS ON THE TAILLIGHT EURO-GUARDS. OVER-TIGHTENING
CAN CAUSE THE TAILLIGHT LENS TO CRACK.

ALWAYS CHECK TURN SIGNAL AND LIGHTS FUNCTION BEFORE
DRIVING AFTER EURO - GUARD INSTALLATION.
Care and Maintenance:
Your Euro-Guards have been designed and manufactured to provide years of use. However, like any product general maintenance is required to keep them looking new. Since the Euro-Guard is located on the exterior of the vehicle, it is subject to potential rock chips and other debris potentially causing portions of the paint to chip off.
For Textured Finish Euro-Guards:
We recommend using a textured spray paint sprayed on a piece of cardboard and Q-Tip to gently fill in these chips.
This will prevent any rust from forming.
For Bright Finish Euro-Guards:
To protect your bright finish
Euro-Guards we recommend using a car wax on the parts on a regular basis.
This will protect the finish and keep your Euro-Guards looking like new.
