Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for this type of part, the exact method of replacement may vary depending on the specific design of the car and the light mounting approach. With daytime LED lighting, it is important to proceed carefully so as not to damage the holders, covers or electrical connector.

1) Before assembly

• Check that the new and original part match in shape, fit, connector and marking.
• Compare the product numbers 90001685 and 6208X4 with the old part if they are legible.
• Inspect the condition of the used mounts, light body and connector for cracks, deformation or excessive wear.
• Before the assembly itself, we recommend visually verifying the cleanliness of the contacts and, if necessary, removing dirt.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• regular set of hand tools
• screwdrivers or bits depending on the type of fastening
• plastic pry bar for removing covers
• contact cleaner
• work gloves and suitable lighting of the work area

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Turn off the ignition and secure the vehicle against movement.
2. It is typically advisable to disconnect the battery, especially if you will be handling the electrical connector or near other electrical parts.
3. Access the daytime running light area depending on the vehicle design – usually after removing the relevant cover or part of the trim.
4. Carefully disconnect the electrical connector of the original light, without pulling on the wiring.
5. Loosen the fasteners of the old part and remove it without damaging the surrounding plastics or brackets.
6. Compare the removed part with the assembled piece, especially the position of the handles, the connector and the shape of the light.
7. Clean the mating surfaces and check the installation site for dirt, moisture or damaged mounting.
8. Sit the new daytime running lights into the correct position without using excessive force.
9. Install and tighten the fasteners evenly so that the part fits properly and is not under tension.
10. Connect the electrical connector and verify that it is securely seated.
11. Reinstall all covers and removed parts.
12. Restore power to the vehicle and check the light function.
• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
  • Verify the correct operation of the daytime running lights after switching on the vehicle.
  • Check that the light shines evenly and without interruptions.
  • Check that the part is firmly held and there is no play or vibration.
  • After a short ride, visually check the seat of the light and the connector again.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Exchanging the left and right part – always compare the shape and orientation of the light before assembly.
  • Damage to the handles during disassembly – use suitable tools and do not press the plastic parts with excessive force.
  • Poorly seated connector – after connecting, check that the connection is tight and free of play.
  • Assembly of mismatched part – always check part numbers and connector design beforehand.
  • Insufficient post-assembly inspection – verify function and mechanical fit after installation.
