5. Installation Guide
This section outlines the steps for installing your new Auxbeam LED Fog Lights. The installation is designed to be plug-and-play, requiring minimal modifications.
5.1 Tools Required
- Socket wrench set (7mm socket)
- Pry tool for plastic clips
- Screwdriver
5.2 Pre-Installation Steps
- Park your Jeep Wrangler JL/JLU on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
- Turn off the engine and disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery.
- Access the fog light area:
- Remove the plastic strip behind the bumper by detaching approximately 7-8 push pins.
- Remove the panel covering the light assembly. This involves detaching 6-8 push pins and one plastic pin. Loosening the rock guard behind and below the bumper may assist in sliding the panel off.
5.3 Removing Existing Fog Lights
- Once the panel is off, locate the four 7mm screws holding the original fog light bracket. Remove these screws.
- Carefully detach the original fog light assembly and disconnect the wiring harness.
5.4 Installing New Auxbeam LED Fog Lights
- Select the appropriate bracket for your bumper type (modified steel bumper or plastic bumper). The fog lights come with two types of brackets. You may need to detach one bracket from the light by unscrewing the adjustment screw if two brackets are pre-installed.
- Connect the provided H16 5202 Male to H11 Female Pigtail Socket Connector to the vehicle's wiring harness.
- Attach the new Auxbeam LED Fog Light to the chosen bracket.
- Secure the new fog light assembly into the bumper using the four 7mm screws.
- Reconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery.
- Test the fog lights to ensure proper function and adjust the angle using the adjustment screw on the back of the light for optimal beam pattern.
- Reinstall the bumper panels and push pins.
6. Operation
The Auxbeam LED Fog Lights operate in conjunction with your vehicle's existing lighting system.
- Fog Light Function: When your vehicle's fog lights are activated, the Auxbeam LED Fog Lights will illuminate with a bright white light (6000K).
- Daytime Running Light (DRL) / Turn Signal Function: These fog lights feature a dual-color function. The white halo acts as a DRL, and it can switch to amber for turn signal indication if wired accordingly.
7. Maintenance
These LED fog lights are designed for long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Clean the lens with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the PC lens.
- Inspection: Periodically check the wiring connections for any signs of wear or corrosion. Ensure all mounting screws are tight.
- Breathing Hole: The integrated breathing hole helps prevent moisture buildup. Ensure it remains clear of debris.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Fog lights do not illuminate. | Loose wiring connection, blown fuse, incorrect wiring. | Check all connections, inspect vehicle's fuse box, verify wiring according to vehicle's electrical diagram. |
| Moisture inside the lens. | Blocked breathing hole, extreme temperature changes. | Ensure breathing hole is clear. Moisture should dissipate naturally. If persistent, contact support. |
