Vehicle Weight: Due to the design of the
removable tabs, the RangeFinder II tow
bar can not be used. Adapters, except the
BX8833 and the BX88151, can not be used
with this baseplate.
Installation Notes: The front fascia,
headlight assembly and metal bumper are
removed and reinstalled during installation
of the baseplate. Temperature sensor is
relocated. 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 ling a hole slightly,
bending electrical rods or bending end plates.
The BX8869 Bulb and Socket Wiring Kit is
recommended for this vehicle.
