Setup and Installation

Before beginning installation, ensure the vehicle's ignition is off and the fog light circuit is de-energized. It is recommended to wear appropriate safety gear, such as gloves and eye protection.

1. Access Fog Light Bulbs: Locate the fog light assemblies on your Dodge SX 2.0. Depending on the vehicle's design, access may be from under the bumper, through the wheel well liner, or from the engine bay. Consult your vehicle's service manual for specific access procedures.
2. Remove Existing Bulbs: Carefully twist and pull the existing halogen fog light bulb from its housing. Disconnect the electrical connector by pressing the release tab and pulling it apart.
3. Connect New LED Bulbs: Connect the electrical connector from the vehicle's wiring harness to the connector on the Diode Dynamics SL2 LED bulb. Ensure a secure connection.
4. Insert LED Bulbs: Insert the Diode Dynamics SL2 LED bulb into the fog light housing. Twist the bulb clockwise until it locks securely into place. Ensure the LED chips are oriented correctly for optimal light pattern (typically facing left and right, or up and down, depending on the housing design).
5. Test Functionality: Before reassembling any removed panels, turn on the vehicle's fog lights to verify proper operation of the new LED bulbs. Check for correct illumination and ensure both bulbs are functioning.
6. Reassemble: Once confirmed, reassemble any panels or liners that were removed to access the fog lights.

Note: The SL2 LEDs are designed for a direct fit. Avoid forcing the bulb into the housing. If resistance is met, re-check the alignment.

Operating Instructions

The Diode Dynamics SL2 White Fog Light LEDs operate in conjunction with your vehicle's existing fog light switch. Once installed, simply activate your vehicle's fog lights as you normally would. The LEDs will illuminate instantly, providing enhanced visibility and a modern appearance.

• Ensure your vehicle's electrical system is functioning correctly.
• Activate fog lights using the vehicle's factory control.
• The LEDs are designed for continuous operation during vehicle use.

Maintenance

Diode Dynamics SL2 LED fog light bulbs are designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. Due to their solid-state design, they do not have filaments that can burn out like traditional halogen bulbs.

• Cleaning: If the outer lens of your fog light housing becomes dirty, clean it with a soft cloth and mild automotive glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the lens.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the wiring connections to ensure they remain secure and free from corrosion.
• Damage: In case of physical damage to the LED bulb or its housing, replacement may be necessary. Do not attempt to repair the LED bulb internally.
