Moss Motors Miata Trunk Light Kit

Part # 159-970

Installation Instructions

• Assemble light unit into bracket by snapping into rectangular hole, with electrical connectors pointing to the left side as shown. Install bulb by spreading contacts, and connect red wire to upper connector and black wire to lower connector.

• Open trunk and install Moss Trunk Light unit into aperture on the inside of the trunk lid on the right (passenger’s) side. Insert 5mm bolt with lock and flat washer through existing hole in trunk lid and screw into threaded hole in light bracket. Tighten securely with 8mm wrench. Route new wiring harness along factory wiring using existing clips on inside of trunk lid. Use plastic tie-wraps to secure wiring at factory installed attachment points as shown in illustration. New wiring will follow factory installed wiring path all the way to the right rear taillight. New wiring will then attach to battery clamp bar and divide to go to new light switch and positive + battery clamp.

• First! Disconnect the NEGATIVE - battery cable (it is usually black with a yellow stripe), then unsnap the soft terminal cover from the POSITIVE + battery cable. Remove the clamp bolt and nut from the Positive battery clamp and insert the bolt through the eye terminal of the red wire from the wire harness. Reinstall the clamp bolt with its nut back on the battery clamp and reconnect to the battery. Then reconnect the Negative battery terminal connection. Tuck the inline fuse beside the battery and secure the soft battery cover over the battery.

• Locate the lower right corner of the trunk inner lip; the "footprint" that the rubber bumper attached to the trunk lid makes. It should appear as a faint bull’s eye. Locate the approximate center and drill a 1/4" hole to mount the switch. To install the switch, remove the top nut and washer, then screw the bottom nut and washer approximately 3/16" from the top down the threaded body. Insert the switch through the aperture in the inside corner of the trunk and up through the new 1/4" hole you drilled, Install the remaining washer and nut. Tighten the nut securely with a 10mm wrench. Insert the bullet end of the black wire into the connector on the end of the switch. The Moss Trunk Light should now light. If it should fail to illuminate, recheck all connections. Push down all of the way on the Switch plunger and make sure that the end of the switch or the bullet connector does not contact the edge of the metal body. If it does contact the edge, bend the edge out of the way with a pair of pliers. Replacement bulbs are available as Part # 170-010.
