Fog lamp bezel overlays fit over your factory fog lamp bezel. They do not replace it. Each overlay is held on with pre-applied 3M automotive tape and its edges tuck in around the bezel.
1. Before you start
- Check the overlay against your order for the right finish or color and for damage.
- Pick a day and place where the surface can be 68 to 100 F (20 to 38 C), and never below 60 F (15 C). If it is cooler, warm the surface and the part gently with a hair dryer or heat gun, from a distance.
2. What you will need
- In the box: the overlay with tape pre-applied and an adhesion promoter (stick or packet).
- Isopropyl rubbing alcohol and a clean, lint-free cloth.
- A plastic pry tool for some trucks.
3. Prepare the bezel
- Wash and dry the bezel, then wipe it with isopropyl alcohol and a clean cloth.
- Wipe the adhesion promoter on every area where tape will contact it. Let it dry.
4. Dry fit
- Hold the overlay on the bezel without removing any backing. Check that it is centered and that the edges tuck in around the bezel.
5. Install
- Remove the red backing from the tape.
- With the overlay roughly centered on the factory bezel, push it into place. Make sure the top lip tucks under the edge above the bezel and that the sides and bottom tuck in too.
- Check that it is centered before you press hard. Then press firmly on every taped area.
- Remove any protective film.
After installation
- Press all taped areas firmly again 24 hours later.
- Wait at least 48 hours before an automatic car wash or highway driving.
- The tape reaches full strength after 3 to 5 days at temperatures above 70 F, and longer if it is cooler. Once fully bonded, the part is very hard to remove without damaging it.

Care
- Treat the overlay like a fine paint finish and use good quality car care products.
- Gloss: light scratches can often be buffed out.
- Matte: abrasion leaves a permanent glossy sheen. Do not buff matte finishes, avoid friction, and use a brushless car wash.
- Textured black TPO cannot be polished or repainted.
Troubleshooting
The overlay will not sit flush
Do not press the tape down. Check that the top lip is tucked under the edge above the bezel and that nothing is caught. Warm the part slightly if it is cold.
The tape touched down in the wrong place
If contact was light, lift the part gently and reposition it. If it has bonded, stop and contact us before pulling harder.
