Step 1 — Open the hood and use a 10mm socket to remove the fasteners securing the top edge of the front bumper cover.
Step 2 — From underneath the vehicle, remove the fasteners securing the lower edge of the bumper cover.
Step 3 — Remove the fasteners and clips securing the front wheel liners. Repeat on both sides.
Step 4 — Carefully pull outward on the bumper cover to release it from the fender flares. Remove the retaining clip on each side.
Step 5 — Reach behind the driver-side wheel liner and disconnect any electrical connectors attached to the bumper cover.
Step 6 — With all fasteners and connectors removed, pull the bumper cover straight forward and set it aside on a protected surface.
Step 7 — Using a trim tool, release the wiring harness clips attached to the back of the factory fog light bezels.
Step 8 — Release the retaining tabs and remove the factory fog light bezels from the bumper cover.
Step 9 — Install the provided fog light bezels into the bumper and secure them using the factory clips. Repeat on the opposite side.
Step 10 — Mount the fog light pods into the bezels using the included hardware, following the washer orientation shown below.
Step 11 — Connect the wiring harness according to your vehicle configuration. Attach power and ground connections in the engine bay, and connect the fog light outputs to each pod.
