6. Operation
After installation, reconnect the vehicle battery's negative terminal. Test the fog lights before driving.
6.1. Turning On/Off
- Use the installed switch to turn the fog lights on or off.
- Fog lights are typically used in conjunction with your vehicle's low beam headlights during conditions of reduced visibility.
6.2. Beam Adjustment
The fog lights feature an adjustment screw to fine-tune the beam angle for optimal visibility without blinding oncoming traffic.
- Locate the light dimmer screw on the fog light assembly (refer to Image 5.1).
- Using an appropriate tool, turn the screw clockwise to raise the beam or counter-clockwise to lower it.
- Adjust the beam on a flat surface facing a wall or garage door, ensuring the light pattern is low and wide.

7. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your fog lights.
7.1. Cleaning
- Regularly clean the fog light lenses with a soft cloth and mild automotive cleaning solution.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the polycarbonate lens material.
7.2. Bulb Replacement
If a halogen bulb burns out, it can be replaced. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific access procedures to the fog light bulbs.
- Ensure the vehicle is off and the lights are cool.
- Access the rear of the fog light assembly (usually from under the bumper or wheel well).
- Twist and remove the bulb socket from the housing.
- Carefully pull the old bulb from the socket. Avoid touching the glass of the new bulb with bare hands; use gloves or a clean cloth.
- Insert the new bulb into the socket and reinsert the socket into the housing, twisting to secure.
7.3. Sealing Integrity

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your fog lights, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Fog lights do not turn on. | Blown fuse, faulty wiring connection, defective bulb, faulty switch. | Check vehicle's fuse box for a blown fuse and replace if necessary. Inspect all wiring connections for looseness or damage. Test bulbs and replace if defective. Check the switch for proper function. |
| One fog light is not working. | Defective bulb, loose connection to one light. | Replace the bulb in the non-working light. Check the electrical connection to that specific fog light. |
| Fog lights are dim. | Low voltage, aging bulbs, dirty lens. | Check vehicle's electrical system for proper voltage. Replace old bulbs. Clean the fog light lenses thoroughly. |
| Moisture inside the lens. | Compromised seal, condensation. | Ensure the waterproof seal cap is properly secured. Small amounts of condensation may dissipate naturally; persistent moisture indicates a seal issue that may require inspection or replacement. |
