How to Install: Elite Series LED Fog Lights

Elite Series LED Fog Lights provide a true upgrade in performance, delivering up to 5 times more output than halogen bulbs. They are bolt-on, OEM-grade replacements for your factory assemblies. 

The following installation guide will provide you with basic Installation instructions on how to install Type A, B, M, and MR Elite Series LED Fog Lights on your vehicle. Continue reading for step-by-step instructions below!

Installation Instructions

Step 1 - Access Factory Fog Light.

Access your factory fog lights, by reaching down near the headlight or by pulling back the wheel well liner. 

Step 2 - Remove Factory Fog Light.

Disconnect the fog light connector from the vehicle wiring harness, and remove the factory fog light housing. The factory hardware will be reused.

Step 3 - Install Elite Series LED Fog Light.

Install your new Elite Series LED fog lights using the factory hardware. If your vehicle has side-specific lights, the side of the vehicle will be indicated on the back of the lamp. 

The tabs and holes on the bracket should align with the mounting points of the factory fog light housing. Re-use the factory hardware, tightening securely. 

Step 4 - Connect Wiring.

Use the included wire adapters to connect the lamp to the vehicle wiring harness. Then, test the function. If the light does not turn on, try flipping the connector 180°.

Step 5 - Connect Backlight Power.

Connect the backlight power wire to a fused 12V source to trigger the backlight feature (i.e. parking light or side marker); T-Taps are included for this purpose. Check local laws and regulations for on-road use of the backlight feature.

NOTE: The power source must be fused. Do not connect directly to the vehicle battery. 

Step 6 - Install Opposite Side Lamp.

Repeat the steps on the other side of the vehicle.

Step 7 - Position Vehicle.

Park your vehicle on a level surface and 25 feet away from a wall or garage door. 

Step 8 - Measure Mounting Height.

On your vehicle, measure the distance between the ground and the center of your fog lamp. This is your mounting height.

Step 9 - Mark Mounting Height.

Mark the mounting height on the wall or garage door using tape. 

Step 10 - Mark Cutoff Line.

Add another piece of tape four inches below the mounting height. This is your fog light cutoff line. 

Step 11 - Aim Fog Lights. 

Using the integrated adjustment screw, aim the fog lights on each side of the vehicle so that the top of the beam pattern is on the cutoff mark line.
