Advice
Vehicle's fog lamp wiring is NOT used in this
installation procedure.
Insulate the wiring using insulating tape etc. and
avoid contact with the LED bulb.
Advice
・Make a slit in the cover refer to the figure right.
・Making a hole or slit in the downside of the
cover to avoid dust and water entry.
・ Check the correct orientation of the bulb as its
socket has two different cutouts (round &
square-shaped).
・ Do not forcibly bend the wiring at all times.
Caution
・Water entry into the headlamp unit may result
in technical malfunction.
Make a hole in the cover or headlamp unit in order to
pass LED bulb's harness.
Pass the LED bulb's harness through the cover.
Apply caulking material to fill a gap in the cover to
avoid dust and water entry.

・ Using non-water proof connectors may corrode
wirings.
Caution
Example of connecting using a connector
Vehicle's fog lamp wiring
・ LED bulb's power wire has no polarity and
AWG20.
・ Use appropriate size of connectors as
thickness of vehicle's fog lamp wiring can differ
between vehicles and fog lamps.
・ Connect to ground if vehicle's fog lamp with no
negative wiring.
Cable ties
Loop
Insert cable ties into the loops and fix them on
the vehicle's harness as shown in the image.
Verify that the LED bulb is secured tightly by
wobbling it. If you removed front bumper or other
parts, reinstall them into original positions.
Vehicle’s harness
Warning (prevent disconnecting)
Do not tie the harness together with the
drive unit.
Do not bend or pull the harness by
excessive power.
Leave a slack in the harness.
Harness's minimum bend radius
should be more than 20mm
(see the figure right).

Fog lamp
Advice
In general vehicles, rear wheel side sinks by
loading to trunk or getting into backseats.
It makes an optical axis upward.
This product is brighter than genuine halogen
fog bulb. Upward lighting by such optical axis
reduces proper fog lamp function. It may cause
a glare to oncoming or leading vehicles.
Assume that load capacity on backseats or trunk
and adjust to lower a cut-off line (brightness
boundary line) beforehand.
Turn on the engine. Switch on the head lamp. Check to see the LED bulb lights up properly.
Make adjustment to the optical axis refer to the figure below. Check to see if the fog lamp indicator
on the dash is lighting up properly.
Park your vehicle in a flat place. Turn on the fog lamp
towards a wall or screen. Adjust the optical axis so
that a cut-off line (brightness boundary line) comes
below the centerline of the fog lamp.
For more information about an optical axis adjustment
method, please check it with car maintenance books
you have or from your dealer.
