Default Nokya Fog Light Installation

Hey guys,

I was trying to install a set of Nokya Hyper Yellow Fogs, but they do not seem to fit. I ordered the 9006 bulbs and they look similar to the original ones. Any tip on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
kai

if they are 9006 then they must be the right one. I use them in mine right now without any problem. is the connector doesnt fit or is it the housing?

i've installed many nokya fogs in local members cars... you're pushing it in and it feels like it doesn't fit? its too long? well it isn't just feels that way~ you need to get it dead on straight and then just push it in... BUT~ don't use too much pressure cuz one member here did it himself and broke the bulb inside the housing

best way, put it in and look at the light from outside to make sure its aligned in the cap thingy BEFORE you give that final push, or have a friend look while you're pushing.

The 3 tabs on the bulb base are in different size/width, make sure you align them correctly to the fog light housing before twisting/locking the bulb

Switch out the o-ring from your stocks bulbs to the Nokya bulbs. I had that same problem and when I looked, the o-ring where a different size, not by much but enough to make it not install correctly.

They fit, just make sure to swap out the O-rings from the stock bulbs. I couldn't get them to fit until I did the swap.
