Wiring Harness Installation Instructions for 2008 KIA Rio 5

Published 06/25/2009

Question:

Does this come with instructions on how to do the wiring for the lights as well? My friend whom is a mechanic will be installing this on my car and wanted to know if the instructions for the wiring would be included. Thanks

The hitch would include installation instructions for the hitch only. Your Rio would need a taillight converter, that would be hardwired into the vehicles taillight circuits. Since the wiring harness is not a vehicle specific item I do not have any instructions specific to your vehicle, but I do have a video that will show how the converter is installed. I will include a link to the video and the taillight converter, which can be found below.

The video will show the converter being installed on a different vehicle than yours, but the installation procedure would be similar.
