Are these legal?
PIAA lamps are intended for use solely as auxiliary lighting. Lighting laws
vary from state to state. PIAA makes no representation or warranty, either
expressed or implied, as to the legality of its products for street use on
any vehicle or in any location. PIAA lamps are designed to improve
visibility during night time motoring and inclement weather conditions.
However, irresponsible use of any auxiliary light can be dangerous and
illegal.
What lights fit my vehicle?
The PIAA Application Guide is available to assist you in your lamp selection
for newer vehicles. Additionally, every lamp page on this web site includes
illustrations with product dimensions (both standard and metric) for your
reference.
How do I mount this light on my vehicle?
All PIAA lamps come complete with installation instructions. If you've lost
your installation instructions, simply e-mail Customer Service for a
replacement set.
My lamps have water in them for the third time,
how can I stop this from happening?
Some moisture inside the lamp is normal. The lamp should dry out after a few
minutes of operation. If it doesn't, check the following:
| 1) |
The lens may be
upside down. The PIAA name must read right side up so the vent on
the bottom can drain. |
| 2) |
The lens/reflector
unit may not be mounted tight against the lamp housing. Loosen, then
re-tighten the screws. |
| 3) |
The gasket may be
twisted or pinched. Some gaskets have a vent gap.Make sure it's on
the bottom. |
| 4) |
Lamps with a
"Snorkel" type wiring grommet in the back of the housing must have
the opening facing down. |
| 5) |
9O Pro lamps have a
vent on the back of the housing in the center. The opening must be
facing down. Water leaks through an obvious gap in the sealant or
from a loose lens are defects covered under warranty. |

Can I mount my lamps upside down?
PIAA lamps are designed to function properly mounted upright or upside down,
as long as a few details are taken into consideration. When mounting your
PIAA lamps opposite of their intended installation, remember that lamps with
a "Snorkel" type wiring grommet in the back of the housing must have the
opening facing down. Also, the PIAA name must read right side up so the vent
on the bottom can drain. 9O Pro lamps have a vent on the back of the housing
in the center. The opening must be facing down. Proper auxiliary lamp aiming
is the most important part of an installation. Refer to the
Light Aiming Instructions
on this web site for proper alignment.
What is the difference between a fog light & a
driving light?
Fog lights provide illumination forward of the vehicle that enhances
visibility in fog, rain, snow, or dust. Fog lights are intended to be used
in conjunction with standard headlamp low beams. Driving lights are mounted
to provide illumination forward of the vehicle and intended to supplement
the high beam of a standard headlamp system. It is not intended for use
alone or with the low beam of a standard headlamp system.
