Operating Instructions

The United Pacific 31222 LED Fog Light operates in conjunction with your vehicle's existing fog light switch and electrical system. Once installed, it will function like the original equipment fog light.

  • Turn on your vehicle's ignition.
  • Activate the fog lights using the dedicated fog light switch in your vehicle's cabin.
  • The LED fog light should illuminate, providing additional forward illumination.
  • Turn off the fog lights using the same switch when they are no longer needed.

Important: Fog lights are intended for use in conditions of reduced visibility, such as fog, heavy rain, or snow. Avoid using fog lights during clear conditions as they can cause glare for oncoming traffic.

Maintenance

The United Pacific 31222 LED Fog Light is designed for minimal maintenance. Its LED technology ensures a long lifespan.

  • Cleaning: Periodically clean the lens of the fog light with a soft cloth and mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the lens.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the fog light for any signs of damage, loose connections, or corrosion. Ensure the mounting is secure.
  • Waterproof Feature: The light is designed to be waterproof. However, avoid directing high-pressure water sprays directly at the light for extended periods, especially around seals.
