5. Installation Guide
The AUXBEAM Q6 Series LED Fog Light Bulbs feature a 5-minute plug-and-play design for easy installation. They are a 1:1 mini size, designed to fit into your housing and factory sockets without modification, bulky bases, external wiring, or noise.
5.1 Pre-Installation Notes
- These bulbs are designed to replace Halogen or existing LED Headlamps/Fog Lamps. They are NOT for HID Headlights.
- For 880/881 socket types, these bulbs are specifically for fog lights and daytime running lights (DRL) and are NOT suitable for headlights or high/low beam DRL applications.
- Ensure your vehicle's electrical system is compatible with DC 9V-24V.
5.2 Step-by-Step Installation
- Safety First: Turn off your vehicle's engine and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
- Access Bulb: Locate the fog light housing in your vehicle. Depending on your vehicle model, you may need to access it from under the hood, behind the wheel well liner, or from underneath the vehicle.
- Remove Old Bulb: Carefully twist and pull out the old halogen or LED bulb from its socket. Disconnect the electrical connector.
- Install New LED Bulb: Connect the AUXBEAM LED bulb's connector to your vehicle's electrical harness. Ensure the connection is secure.
- Insert LED Bulb: Insert the new AUXBEAM LED bulb into the fog light housing. Twist it gently until it locks securely into place. Ensure the LED chips are oriented correctly for optimal beam pattern (refer to your vehicle's manual for specific orientation if needed).
- Test Functionality: Reconnect the battery, turn on your vehicle, and test the fog lights to ensure they are working correctly.
- Final Check: Verify that the beam pattern is uniform and there are no dark spots or flickering.

8. Troubleshooting
8.1 Common Issues and Solutions
- Flickering or Error Codes: While these bulbs are CANBUS-ready with built-in decoding chips and an intelligent IC driver for 99% compatibility, some sensitive car models may still require additional decoders to resolve flickering or error code issues. This is not a quality issue with the bulb itself.
- No Illumination:
- Check the electrical connection to ensure it is secure and properly seated.
- Verify that the vehicle's fog light circuit is receiving power.
- Ensure the bulb is correctly inserted and locked into the housing.
- Uneven Light Pattern:
- Re-check the bulb's orientation in the housing. The LED chips should be positioned to match the original beam pattern.
- Ensure no obstructions are blocking the light output.

- Before purchasing, always double-check your vehicle's original bulb type to ensure compatibility with the listed socket types (e.g., H11, 9006, 880).
- For optimal performance and longevity, ensure the cooling fins of the LED bulb are not obstructed during installation.
- If you experience any issues with flickering or error messages on your dashboard, consider installing additional CANBUS decoders, especially for European vehicles or newer models with sensitive electrical systems.
