Attachment Tabs:

Due to the design of the removable tabs, the

RangeFinder II and Ambassador tow bars can not

be used. Adapters, except the BX8833 and the

BX88151, can not be used with this baseplate.

Instructions:

The front fascia, headlights, horn bracket,

and bumper are removed for the baseplate

installation. Drilling is required. Trimming of

the air dam is required.

The dimensional variations between otherwise

identical vehicles can be considerable.

While the baseplate was designed for easy

installation, it may be necessary to tailor the

baseplate slightly to compensate for auto

manufacturer’s tolerances. These minor

adjustments may include ﬁling a hole slightly,

bending electrical rods or bending end plates.

The BX8869 Bulb and Socket Wiring Kit is

recommended for this vehicle.

1. Remove 12 pushpins from the plastic above the

radiator. Remove the plastic from the top of the

radiator. Set pushpins aside to reinstall later.

2. Just forward of the front tire, on the edge of the

fascia, use an 8MM socket or Phillips screwdriver

to remove one metric bolt. Set bolt aside to reinstall

later. Do this to both sides of the vehicle.
