Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used fog light
- Inspect the lens surface for deep pitting, cracks, or yellowing, and check the reflector housing for peeling chrome backing or moisture accumulation.
- Confirm mounting tab positions and housing shapes, as sport packages and base trim bumpers often use incompatible fog light housings.
- Verify bulb socket type (e.g., H11, 9006, LED module) and ensure factory wiring pigtail pinouts match your vehicle harness.
- Check that vertical aim adjustment screws move freely without stripped threads or frozen plastic gears.
