2. Safety Information
- Always turn off your vehicle's engine and disconnect the battery before attempting any electrical work to prevent electrical shock or damage.

- Wear appropriate safety gear, such as gloves and eye protection, during installation.
- Ensure the new LED bulbs are securely seated in the housing to prevent moisture ingress and ensure proper light beam.
- Do not touch the LED chips directly, as oils from your skin can reduce their lifespan.

4.2. Installation Steps
- Preparation: Park your vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and turn off the engine. Allow the vehicle to cool down.
- Access Fog Light: Locate your vehicle's fog light housing. Access may require removing wheel well liners, splash guards, or other components depending on your vehicle model.
- Remove Old Bulb: Disconnect the electrical connector from the existing fog light bulb. Carefully twist or unclip the old bulb from its housing and remove it.
- Install New LED Bulb: Insert the Alla Lighting LED bulb into the fog light housing. Ensure it is properly aligned and securely seated. Twist or clip it into place.
- Connect Electrical: Reconnect the electrical connector to the new LED bulb. The bulbs feature a non-polarity design, simplifying connection.
- Test Functionality: Before reassembling any removed components, turn on your vehicle's fog lights to ensure both new LED bulbs are functioning correctly.
- Reassemble: Once confirmed operational, reassemble any vehicle components that were removed for access.

5. Operating Instructions
These LED bulbs are designed to replace standard 881, 889, 894, H28, 886, 888, 896, 898 type bulbs in automotive applications. They are primarily intended for:
- Fog Lights: Providing a bright, wide beam pattern to improve visibility in foggy, rainy, or snowy conditions.
- Daytime Running Lights (DRL): Enhancing vehicle visibility during daylight hours.
- Cornering Lights: Illuminating the side of the road when turning.
The 6000K Xenon White color temperature provides a crisp, modern light output. The bulbs deliver 1900 lumens per bulb, totaling 3800 lumens for a pair, significantly brighter than many OEM halogen options.

Alla Lighting LED bulbs are designed for durability and minimal maintenance. They feature a 6063 aviation aluminum body for efficient heat dissipation and are rated IP67 waterproof, ensuring reliable performance in various weather conditions.
- Cleaning: If the bulb's lens or housing becomes dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, clean cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch the surface.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the bulbs and their connections for any signs of damage or loose wiring.
- Lifespan: These LED bulbs have an estimated operating life of 30,000 hours, significantly longer than traditional halogen bulbs, reducing the need for frequent replacement.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bulb does not light up | Loose connection, incorrect polarity (unlikely due to non-polarity design but check), faulty bulb, vehicle fuse blown. | Check electrical connections. Ensure bulb is fully seated. Test with another known working bulb. Check vehicle's fuse box for blown fuses. |
| Bulb flickers | Loose connection, voltage fluctuations, CANBUS incompatibility (rare for fog lights). | Ensure connections are secure. If flickering persists, consult a professional. |
| Bulb does not fit | Incorrect bulb size ordered, vehicle-specific housing variations. | Double-check compatibility using methods in Section 4.1. Contact Alla Lighting support if you believe the bulb is incorrect despite compatibility checks. |
| Light output is dim or uneven | Bulb not fully seated, obstruction in housing, faulty bulb. | Ensure bulb is correctly installed and seated. Check for any debris or obstructions in the light housing. |
