Setup and Installation

Installation of the KYYET Side Marker Clearance Light Housings is designed to be a straightforward, plug-and-play process, requiring no modifications to your vehicle. These housings are direct replacements for the original amber and red lens side marker light reflectors.

Included Components:

  • 2x Front Side Marker Light Housings (Amber Lens)
  • 2x Rear Side Marker Light Housings (Red Lens)
  • Gaskets for sealing (pre-attached or included separately)

Note: Bulbs are not included with these housings. They are designed for use with halogen bulbs.

Installation Steps:

  1. Prepare the Vehicle: Ensure the vehicle's ignition is off and the battery is disconnected to prevent electrical issues during installation.
  2. Remove Old Housings: Carefully remove the existing side marker light housings from the front and rear bumper fender areas. This typically involves unscrewing fasteners or releasing clips.
  3. Inspect Gaskets: Verify that the new KYYET housings have their gaskets properly seated. These gaskets are crucial for the IP67 waterproof rating.
  4. Insert Bulb (Not Included): If you are reusing your existing halogen bulbs or installing new ones, carefully insert them into the new KYYET housings.
  5. Position New Housings: Align the new amber housings with the front bumper fender openings and the red housings with the rear bumper fender openings.
  6. Secure Housings: Fasten the new housings into place using the original screws or appropriate fasteners. Ensure they are snug but do not overtighten.
  7. Reconnect Battery: Once all housings are securely installed, reconnect the vehicle's battery.
  8. Test Lights: Turn on your vehicle's lights to confirm that the new side marker lights are functioning correctly.

Operating Instructions

Once properly installed, the KYYET Side Marker Clearance Light Housings function as passive reflectors and light enclosures. Their operation is directly tied to your vehicle's existing lighting system.

  • When your vehicle's parking lights or headlights are activated, the bulbs (not included) within these housings will illuminate, providing side visibility.
  • The amber lenses are positioned at the front of the vehicle, and the red lenses at the rear, adhering to standard automotive lighting regulations.
  • The reflective properties of the lenses enhance visibility even when the lights are not illuminated, especially in low-light conditions or when illuminated by other vehicles' headlights.

Maintenance

The KYYET Side Marker Clearance Light Housings are designed for durability and minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning will help maintain their appearance and effectiveness.

  • Cleaning: Clean the lenses periodically with a soft cloth and mild automotive soap or glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the lens material.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the housings for any signs of damage, cracks, or loose fittings. Ensure the gaskets remain intact to maintain the IP67 waterproof seal.
  • Bulb Replacement: If a bulb (not included) burns out, replace it with a compatible halogen bulb according to your vehicle's specifications. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific bulb types and replacement procedures.
