Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the bulb base type is PK22s and confirm the vehicle uses an H3 halogen fog light or low-beam application before installation. Match the position shown in the fitment data, since this bulb is listed for front, low beam, and N/A applications depending on the vehicle. Handle the glass bulb carefully and avoid touching the glass surface with bare fingers.

For vehicles such as BMW 640i, 650i, M6, and related models listed with HID headlights, confirm the exact lighting configuration before ordering. The same applies to fitment-specific notes on models like Porsche Cayenne, Volkswagen Jetta, and Nissan Maxima where production dates or headlamp type affect application.
