7. Next, remove the front directional light assembly on the driver’s side
of the vehicle. Feed the VIOLET, turn light wire and GRAY, run light wire
from the main lighting harness through the opening in the directional
light housing. At this point, use a test light or ohm meter to determine
the proper wires in the vehicle’s electrical system to splice into. Once
you have identified the proper wires, position one end of the turn or
run light wire into a SPLICE LOCK CONNECTOR provided. Attach
the vehicle wire to the opposite side of the splice lock connector.
Complete the splice by pinching both wires together and locking the
connector. Repeat the splice procedure for the remaining wire. The
passenger’s side directional light assembly requires the same instal-
lation; however, only one wire, the PINK, turn light, needs to be spliced.
8. Connect the vehicle headlights to the main lighting harness using a
HEADLIGHT ADAPTER KIT. Due to differences in the construction
of the adapter kits, and the various make and model vehicles Blizzard
snowplows are installed on (see list to the right), a headlight adapter
kit is not packaged with your snowplow. Contact your local Blizzard
Dealer to obtain the appropriate adapter for your vehicle.
9. Begin the adapter kit installation by removing the existing vehicle head-
light connector from the headlight. Attach the HEADLIGHT ADAPTER
CONNECTOR to the existing vehicle headlight connector. Next, plug
the BLACK, FIVE-PIN CONNECTOR on the headlight adapter into
the gray, five-pin connector on the vehicle wire harness. Lastly, plug the
HEADLIGHT ADAPTER CONNECTOR into the vehicle headlight re-
ceptacle. Note: If more than one plug is present, match the colors of
each connector (ie gray to gray, black to black, Chevrolet daylight run-
ning is clear to gray). Repeat the installation for the opposite headlight.
10. Once the headlight adapter connections are completed, proceed to
secure the braided harness to the vehicle. Safely route all harness
lengths around the engine components and attach them to the vehicle
with cable ties. Extend the PLOW HEADLIGHT CONNECTORS, from
the main lighting harness, through the grill of the vehicle and position
the HARNESS POWER PLUG and WEATHER CAP near the bumper.
Cable tie the power plug to the vehicle bumper or tow hook to keep
the harness from hanging too low.
11. Return to the driver’s side cab interior to install the remainder of the
vehicle wire harness. Find an accessible location for the PLOW HEAD-
LIGHT TOGGLE SWITCH & BRACKET under the dashboard. Install
the headlight bracket using two self-drilling screws. Insert the toggle
switch through the bracket and secure it with the hardware provided.
Use the MALE 2-PIN POWER CONNECTOR to connect the toggle
switch to the vehicle wire harness.
First, insert the 24" GREEN/YELLOW GROUND LEAD into the
FEMALE 2-PIN POWER CONNECTOR (on the vehicle wire harness).
This lead should be grounded to the vehicle. Next, plug both of the
SWITCH LEADS into the toggle switch. Note: Both terminals should
be inserted into the spades on the same side of the switch. One
terminal should be positioned in the middle spade. See the illustration
to the right and on page 32. Plug both 2-pin power connectors together.
