PURPOSEFUL LIGHTING
A kit built around the job
One bar, complementary optics
Driving optics at the outer sections add reach while flood optics in the centre spread light across the nearer area. This is the White Combo version.
A factory-style location
The brackets place the SS18 in the lower grille opening using existing frame mounting points. The standard lower grille is reinstalled after fitting.
Wiring supplied
The single-output harness and auxiliary-switch adapter are included. Follow the harness instructions for control wiring rather than connecting the bar directly to a vehicle signal.

MOUNT · WIRE · AIM
Plan the installation before the trail
Plan the harness route before installing the bar. The guide removes the licence-plate holder where fitted and the lower grille, then uses the factory frame studs and nuts for the vehicle brackets. Follow the sensor-connector, bracket-orientation and trim-reassembly steps, centre the bar and finish by adjusting its aim. Choose a different installation if you need to retain adaptive cruise control.

CLEAR ANSWERS
Before you order
Will this work with adaptive cruise control?
No. The SS18 mounting location conflicts with the factory adaptive-cruise equipment. Use a different mounting solution if your Ranger has that system.
Is this the same as the two-SS6 Ranger kit?
No. DD6597 supplies one 18-inch White Combo bar. The two-SS6 configuration uses different lights and brackets.
Does the harness make the bar follow my high beams automatically?
No automatic high-beam function is promised. Use the supplied harness and adapter according to their instructions; any vehicle-signal connection requires a compatible installation.
What warranty applies?
The Stage Series light bar has an 8-year limited manufacturer warranty, including the initial 3-year replacement period. Later coverage requires return for inspection and repair or replacement at the manufacturer’s discretion. Wiring and other accessories follow their own terms.
Are the kit photographs extra items I need to buy?
The listed kit contents are supplied. Other vehicle lighting and accessories in installation photographs are separate. Select the exact kit SKU and follow the notes under each photograph.
