LIGHTING TRENDZ • INSTALLATION GUIDE

Dodge Durango Flow Series Tail Light Installation Guide

Follow the installation from rear trim removal to harness routing, connector setup and final testing. Use the video and wiring references alongside the instructions supplied with your kit.

This guide follows the setup shown in our installation video. Confirm your model year, controller and supplied harness before starting. The BCM reference below covers 2014–2023 only; contact us for other model years or a different kit configuration.

Watch the installation

See the complete process in the Lighting Trendz video, or open the dedicated video page.

STEP 01

Prepare the rear cargo area

Remove the interior trunk panel, lower cargo cover and subwoofer as shown in the installation video. Remove the driver’s side quarter trim panel to expose the harness routing path.

With the interior opened up, check that you have access to the factory housings and wiring before continuing.

STEP 02

Remove the factory tail lights

For the center assembly, disconnect the main connector on the passenger side and the backup-camera connector. Remove the 10mm bolts securing the OEM housing, then slide the assembly out.

Each outer tail light is held by two clips. Release the clips and gently pull the housing away from the vehicle.

STEP 03

Route the Flow Series harness

Feed the two-pin DT and two-pin JST connectors through the driver’s side trunk cubby.

  • Center housing: Follow the existing harness toward the liftgate. Pass through the OEM grommet between the body and liftgate, then continue along the driver’s side of the liftgate and across to the passenger-side frame.
  • Outer housings: Drop the harness through the opening in the center of the cargo area. Follow the factory harness and split the leads to reach both sides.

STEP 04

Connect the housings, controller and power harness

Install the supplied JST connectors after routing the harness. The center housing uses a five-pin connector (Figure 1); the outer tail lights use four-pin connectors (Figure 2).

Some kits use an orange wire in place of a blue wire. If your supplied harness differs from the reference or you are unsure of the pin order, contact Lighting Trendz before applying power.

The controller and Flow Series harness connect to a DT splitter. The splitter connects to the regulator’s grey connector, and the regulator’s black plug connects to the relay harness.

Route the relay harness and switch toward the front of the vehicle. The installation shown connects at the battery beneath the passenger seat. Mount the switch in an accessible location.

STEP 05

Connect optional BlueGhozt trigger inputs

For BlueGhozt trigger functions, the original installation guide recommends the BCM in the passenger footwell. The reference below lists only 2014–2020 and 2021–2023 wiring.

Model-year check: This chart does not establish BCM wiring for 2024–2026 vehicles. Confirm the correct vehicle-specific wiring before connecting trigger inputs.

Other input locations described in the guide include turn signal input at the headlights, brake input at the third brake light, and parking/reverse inputs at the tail light wiring.

Do not source separate brake and turn triggers directly from the OEM outer housings: their brake and turn functions share a wire.

STEP 06

Test the lights, then reassemble

Once installation and all connections are complete, test the system before reinstalling the interior panels.

  • Brake lights
  • Left and right turn signals
  • Reverse lights
  • Parking lights
  • Flow Series animation or show modes, if included

After confirming correct operation, reinstall the interior panels, cargo cover and subwoofer.

Durango tail light installation questions

What does a Durango Flow Series tail light installation involve?

The installation shown includes rear trim and factory tail light removal, routing the supplied harness to the center and outer housings, connecting the controller and regulated power harness, then testing before reassembly. BlueGhozt trigger wiring is an optional additional step.

Which connectors go to the center and outer tail lights?

The center housing uses a five-pin JST connector, shown in Figure 1. The outer housings use four-pin connectors, shown in Figure 2. Compare your supplied harness with the reference before applying power.

When should I power the BlueGhozt or custom harness?

Keep the BlueGhozt or custom harness unpowered until installation and all connections are complete. The original guide warns that powering the system prematurely can cause damage.

Does the BCM chart cover 2024–2026 Durangos?

No. The provided chart lists 2014–2020 and 2021–2023 wiring only. Product fitment does not establish that these BCM pin references apply to newer model years. Contact Lighting Trendz for the correct reference for your vehicle.

Can I get separate brake and turn triggers at the outer tail lights?

The original guide states that brake and turn functions share a wire on the OEM outer tail light harness. Use the appropriate separate input sources described in the guide and confirm the circuits for your vehicle.

Should I have a professional install the tail lights?

Lighting Trendz recommends professional installation. Review the complete video and your supplied kit instructions before starting. If the wiring or kit configuration is unclear, contact support or an installer before proceeding.
