3. Installation Guide
Follow these steps for a quick and easy installation of your Katana LED fog light bulbs. No special tools are required.
- Step 1: Access the Bulb Housing
Locate your vehicle's fog light housing. Depending on your vehicle model, you may need to access it from under the hood or from the wheel well. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for specific instructions on accessing the fog light bulbs.

- Step 2: Remove the Old Bulb
Carefully disconnect the electrical connector from the existing fog light bulb. Then, unclip or twist the old bulb to remove it from the housing. Handle the old bulb by its base to avoid touching the glass. - Step 3: Insert the New LED Bulb
Align the Katana LED bulb with the housing. Insert the bulb and twist it clockwise until it locks securely into place. Ensure the bulb is seated firmly and correctly to achieve the optimal beam pattern. - Step 4: Connect the Electrical Plug
Connect the electrical plug from your vehicle's wiring harness to the connector on the new Katana LED bulb. Ensure a secure connection. The built-in CANBUS system will help prevent error messages. - Step 5: Test the Lights
Before reassembling any covers or components, turn on your vehicle's fog lights to ensure they are functioning correctly. Verify that both new LED bulbs illuminate properly and provide a clear, consistent light output.
Note: For optimal beam pattern, ensure the LED chips are positioned horizontally (at 3 and 9 o'clock positions) after installation. Some vehicles may require minor adjustments to the bulb's rotational position for the best light output.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Katana LED fog light bulbs, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bulbs not turning on | Loose connection, incorrect installation, blown fuse. | Check all electrical connections. Ensure the bulb is fully seated and locked. Inspect your vehicle's fuse box for a blown fuse related to the fog lights. |
| Flickering or error message on dashboard | Vehicle's CANBUS system sensitivity. | While Katana bulbs are CANBUS ready, some highly sensitive vehicles may still require an additional decoder/resistor. Contact Katana customer support for assistance. |
| Poor beam pattern or dark spots | Incorrect bulb orientation. | Adjust the rotational position of the bulb within the housing. Ensure the LED chips are facing horizontally (3 and 9 o'clock). |
| Dust cover cannot be reinstalled | Bulb design with fan and driver may prevent original dust cover from fitting. | Contact Katana customer support for a suitable replacement dust cover. |
