2.2 Installation Steps
- Access the Bulb: Locate your vehicle's fog light assembly. Depending on your vehicle model, you may need to access it from under the vehicle, behind the wheel well liner, or from the engine bay.
- Remove Original Bulb: Carefully disconnect the electrical connector from the existing halogen bulb. Then, twist or unclip the old bulb from its housing and remove it.
- Insert LED Bulb: Insert the SEALIGHT LED fog light bulb into the housing. Ensure it is seated correctly and rotate it to lock it into place. The compact design is similar in size to a halogen bulb for easy fitment.
- Connect Electrical Plug: Reconnect the vehicle's electrical connector to the new LED bulb. These bulbs feature a non-polarity design, simplifying the connection.
- Test Functionality: Turn on your vehicle's fog lights to ensure the new LED bulbs are functioning correctly.

4.2 Cleaning
Periodically inspect the outer lens of your vehicle's fog light assembly for dirt or debris. Clean with a soft cloth and appropriate automotive cleaner to ensure maximum light output.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your SEALIGHT 5202 LED Fog Light Bulbs, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Bulb Not Lighting Up:
- Ensure the electrical connector is securely plugged into the bulb.
- Verify that the bulb is correctly seated and locked into the housing.
- Check your vehicle's fuse box for any blown fuses related to the fog lights.
- Flickering or Error Messages:
- Some vehicles, particularly newer models with CANbus systems, may require an additional anti-flicker ballast or resistor to prevent flickering or dashboard error messages. If this occurs, contact SEALIGHT customer support for assistance.
- Dim Light Output:
- Ensure the vehicle's battery voltage is stable (12 Volts).
- Check for any obstructions or dirt on the fog light lens.
- Incorrect Fitment:
- Double-check the bulb type required for your vehicle against the 5202/5201/PS19W/PS24W compatibility.
