- Installation: Fit the new unit into position, connect the electrical plug, secure the fasteners to original fitment torque, and refit interior trim. Reconnect the battery and verify operation of the fog light before finishing.
- Note: Verify the correct bulb type by checking the original socket or vehicle handbook before installing a replacement bulb.
Mounting Recommendations
