How to Convert Mazda Fog Lights to Driving Lights

Adding driving lights to your Mazda not only improves the overall look of the car, it also increases visibility when driving at night. To convert the fog lights to driving lights, you might need to have the lights custom-made so they are small enough to fit into the front bumper. Other than that, the job is pretty simple. It should take around an hour.

Things You'll Need

• Socket wrench
• Screwdriver set
• Driving lights

Instructions

1. Remove the bolts which hold the covers over the fog lights, using a socket wrench. Lift the covers away from the lights.

2. Locate the locking tab, between the fog light and bumper which fixes the fog light in place. Use your hand to turn the locking tab and disconnect it from the bumper.

3. Remove the three mounting bolts which fix the fog light to the bumper using a socket wrench. Pull the fog light down and out through the bottom of the bumper. Disconnect the electrical wiring from the rear of the fog light and completely remove it from the Mazda.

4. Place the driving light housing into the bumper, then affix the locking tab between the bumper and housing. Attach the mounting bolts to the bumper to fix it firmly in place. Screw the halogen bulb into the housing.

5. Attach the electrical wiring to the rear of the driving light. Place the cover over the light and screw it in place. Repeat the process on the second fog light.
