5. Operating Instructions
The Winjet WJ30-0212-09 fog lights are operated via the included On/Off switch. Activate the switch to turn the fog lights on, and deactivate it to turn them off.
5.1 When to Use Fog Lights
Fog lights are designed to provide additional illumination close to the ground, improving visibility in conditions where standard headlights may cause glare due to reflection from fog, heavy rain, or snow. Use them in conjunction with your low-beam headlights during these conditions. Turn them off when visibility improves or when driving in clear conditions to avoid dazzling other drivers.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
Regularly clean the fog light lenses with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the lens material (polycarbonate) or coatings.
6.2 Bulb Replacement
The fog lights use halogen bulbs. If a bulb burns out, replace it with a bulb of the same type and wattage (55 watts, 12 volts). Refer to your vehicle's service manual or the fog light assembly for specific bulb type and replacement instructions. Always handle new bulbs by their base to avoid contaminating the glass with oils from your skin, which can shorten bulb life.
6.3 Protection Features
These fog lights feature a triple-layer protection system, including a water-repellent coating, ultraviolet filter coating, and impact-resistant coating, to protect the lens from debris, UV light, and weather damage. They are also designed to be waterproof and dustproof (IP68 rated), offering protection from dust and immersion in water up to 3 feet.
