Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and safety of your new headlight assembly. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified automotive technician.
Before You Begin:
- Ensure the vehicle's ignition is off and the battery is disconnected to prevent electrical shorts.
- Gather necessary tools, which typically include a ratchet, sockets, screwdrivers, and possibly trim removal tools.
- Verify that the replacement headlight (FR457-B101R) matches the original assembly for your vehicle.
Installation Steps:
- Remove Old Headlight: Carefully remove any retaining clips, bolts, or screws securing the existing headlight assembly. Disconnect all electrical connectors from the bulbs and the main harness.

- Connect New Headlight: Connect the electrical connectors from the vehicle's harness to the new FR457-B101R headlight assembly. Ensure connections are secure.
- Position and Secure: Carefully position the new headlight assembly into its mounting location. Secure it using the original retaining clips, bolts, or screws. Do not overtighten.
- Test Functionality: Reconnect the vehicle's battery. Turn on the vehicle's lights (low beam, high beam, turn signals, parking lights) to ensure all functions of the new headlight are operating correctly.
- Aim Headlights: After installation, it is highly recommended to properly aim the headlights to ensure optimal visibility and to avoid blinding oncoming traffic. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific aiming procedures.
