Change A Fog Light

Foundry fog lights are a administer fit protest; on the other hand, they are particular to year and pattern in most cases. Provided aftermarket fog lights are to be used to transform the plant originals, they should be checked for suitability with consideration to the mounting brackets. Many workshop fog lights close not end a bracket--they compass a stud protruding from the aglow that attaches to the bumper. Refashioning would be needed to change this type of luminous.


Instructions


1. Uplift the front of the vehicle and bedding with jack stands. They should shine on a wall 20 feet away where they are 2 feet high with the left light centered and the right light slightly to the right to shine on the shoulder of the road. Once aligned, tighten the adjusting screws.


2. Remove the bolts and nuts from the fog light bracket holding it to the bumper. Use the appropriate socket and ratchet.


3. Install the new fog light into the bracket provided on the bumper. Screw in the bolts and nuts using the same socket and ratchet used in removal.


4. Connect the wires. It the wires are the quick-disconnect style, push them together to associate them. If there was no quick disconnect or they are aftermarket lights, strip the insulation off the ends of the wires using wire crimpers. Use blue wire barrel connectors and insert the wire ends into both ends and crimp with the crimper.


5. Lower the vehicle and turn the lights on. Loosen the adjusting screws on the side of the fog lights and aim them against a wall so they shine straight ahead and low. Remove the two wires essential to both fog lights. Provided they are workshop units, there should be hurried disconnects fast to the lights that honest hope for pulling apart. Whether there are no convenient disconnects, incision the wires accelerated to the fog lights to be replaced.
