Installation Instructions

Step 1 - Access Factory Fog Light.

Turn the wheel outward to gain access to the back of the bumper. Remove the screws or clips securing the fender liner and pull it back to reveal the factory fog light. Then, unplug the factory fog light connector. 

Step 2 - Remove Factory Fog Light.

Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the screws securing the factory fog light housing to the back of the bumper. Then, remove the factory fog light housing. You will reuse the factory screws. 

Step 3 - Install Elite Series LED Fog Light.

Install your new Elite Series Type CGX LED Fog Lights onto the vehicle by securing the factory screws removed in Step 2 with a Phillips head screwdriver.

Toyota Vehicles:

While installing the LED fog light, flex the left side tabs outward to insert them into the mounting pockets. Use the bottom portion of the slot on the bracket to secure the factory screw (shown in red in the picture below).

Step 4 - Connect Wiring.

Use the included wire adapters to connect the Elite Series Type CGX LED Fog Light 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 LED Fog Light.

Repeat the steps on the other side of the vehicle.

Step 7 - Position Vehicle.

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

Step 8 - Measure 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 tap four inches below the mounting height. This is your fog light cutoff line.
