Step 1 – Access the factory bulb
Refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for instructions on accessing the bulb you are replacing. This may require removing an interior panel, lens, or trim piece depending on the application.
Step 2 – Remove the factory bulb
Unplug the factory-installed incandescent bulb from its socket and carefully remove it from the vehicle.
Step 3 – Install the LED bulb
Insert the new Diode Dynamics LED bulb into the socket, ensuring it is fully seated and making proper contact.
Step 4 – Test the bulb
Before reassembling any panels, turn on the vehicle or activate the corresponding light to confirm the LED bulb illuminates properly.
Step 5 – Reinstall components
Once proper operation is confirmed, reinstall any panels, lenses, or trim pieces that were removed during access.
Step 6 – Troubleshooting (if needed)
If the bulb does not light up, remove it, rotate it 180 degrees, and reinstall it. Make sure the bulb is making full contact in the socket by adjusting the metal pins on the bulb or socket if necessary.
