Precautions for Replacement  

● As a result of replacing the bulb, the axis of the light may become misaligned. Therefore, after replacement, check the lamp position and make necessary adjustments to the alignment.


● This product has plus ( ) and minus (-) poles. Verify theses poles on the vehicle's connector. Be careful not to mistake plus ( ) and minus (-) poles and then connect them securely.

Replacement procedure  

(1) Refer to your vehicle's service manual and remove the fog lamp's bulb.


(2) Connect the LED bulb (part ① ) and the controller (part ② ).


(3) Use the reverse procedures in (1) and install the LED bulb to the light unit.


(4) This product has plus ( ) and minus (-) poles. Connect the controller's connector (part ② ) to the vehicle's connector and verify that the light turns on. If the light does not go on, disconnect and try changing the direction of the installation and connect it again. Depending on the model of the vehicle, when verifying that the light goes on, the small notch on the controller's connector may interfere with the connector on the vehicle side which may prevent it from inserting all the way. If this is the case, we will use the next step to remove it. Therefore, confrm the polarity with the connector while not completely inserted.


(5) The notch on the connector of the controller interferes with the connector on the vehicle side preventing it from inserting further and locking. If this is the case, use a cutter and cut the notch out and allow it to insert. (If the controller's connector is able to securely connect to the vehicle side connector, this step will not be necessary. Therefore go on to step (6).)


(6) Fix the controller part in place on the vehicle side using the tie wrap (part ③ ).


(7) Adjust and align the angle of the lamp as required.
