Installation Instructions
Step 1 — Remove Factory Fog Light
Turn the wheel outward to access the back of the bumper. Remove the screws or clips securing the fender liner and pull it back to reveal the factory fog light. Unplug the factory connector. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the screws securing the factory fog light housing and remove it. Keep the factory screws — you'll reuse them.
Step 2 — Install Elite Series Fog Light
Mount the Elite Series Type CGX fog light using the factory screws with a Phillips head screwdriver.
- Lexus GX460: Flex the left side tabs outward to insert them into the mounting pockets. Use the top portion of the bracket slot to secure the factory screw.
- Toyota vehicles: Flex the left side tabs outward to insert them into the mounting pockets. Use the bottom portion of the bracket slot to secure the factory screw.
Step 3 — Connect Wiring
Use the included wire adapters to connect the fog light to the vehicle wiring harness. Test function — if the light doesn't turn on, flip the connector 180°. Connect the backlight power wire to a fused 12V source (such as a parking light or side marker circuit) using the included T-taps to enable the amber accent backlight. Note: The power source must be fused — do not connect directly to the battery. Check local laws for on-road use of the backlight feature.
Step 4 — Repeat for the other side.
Aiming Instructions
Aiming Video:
Step 1 — Park on a level surface 25 feet from a wall or garage door.
Step 2 — Measure the distance from the ground to the center of your fog lamp (mounting height).
Step 3 — Mark the mounting height on the wall with tape.
Step 4 — Add a second piece of tape four inches below the mounting height — this is your fog light cutoff line.
Step 5 — Using the integrated adjustment screw, aim each fog light so the top of the beam pattern aligns with the cutoff line.
