First off, let’s get what this part really is: the
Chery Tiggo 5 Right Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) T21-4499020 isn’t just a “bright bulb”—it’s a complete, factory-made
lighting assembly for your
Tiggo 5’s right front (passenger side). Think of it as your car’s “daytime safety beacon”: it stays on whenever you start the engine (even in bright sun) to make your Tiggo 5 easier to spot by other drivers, pedestrians, or cyclists. Unlike regular headlights, it’s low-power but super visible—perfect for cutting through 阴天、 fog, or tunnel light, where your car might otherwise blend into the background.
This right DRL is only for Chery Tiggo 5 models built on the T21 platform—mostly the 2013–2017 Tiggo 5 variants (double-check your car’s VIN or owner’s manual to confirm it’s a T21-platform model!). It’s designed to fit the Tiggo 5’s front bumper like it was there from the factory: the mounting clips line up exactly with the bumper’s pre-made slots, the shell matches the bumper’s curve (no weird gaps that let in rain), and the wiring connector plugs straight into your car’s existing DRL harness—no cutting or splicing needed. Grab a generic DRL? You’ll run into headaches: dim light that barely works, water leaking inside (shorting out the bulb), or a loose fit that rattles every time you hit a bump—total safety misses.

This DRL is mostly easy to install, but it usually means removing the front bumper’s right side (to reach the mounting slots). If you’re not used to handling car bumpers, let a Chery 4S shop do it—they won’t break the plastic clips. Here’s how it works (for DIYers):
Loosen the Bumper: Pop off the small plastic fasteners under the bumper (use a flathead screwdriver) and remove 2–3 screws on the right fender (near the headlight). Gently pull the bumper’s right side out a little—don’t yank it (the clips are fragile!).
Remove the Old DRL: Unplug the wiring connector from the back of the old DRL (it clicks when you pull it). Then squeeze the mounting clips on the DRL and pull it out of the bumper slot.
Install the New DRL: Slide the T21-4499020 DRL into the slot—you’ll hear a “click” when the clips lock. Plug in the wiring connector (make sure it’s fully seated), then push the bumper back into place and reattach the fasteners/screws.
Test It: Start your Tiggo 5— the DRL should turn on automatically. If it doesn’t, check the connector (you might not have plugged it in all the way) or the fuse (the DRL fuse is usually in the engine bay fuse box).
Clean the Lens Weekly: Wipe the DRL’s glass with a damp cloth to remove bug splats, mud, or road salt—dirty glass cuts brightness by 40%, making the DRL useless. Avoid harsh cleaners (they’ll scratch the lens).
Check the Seal Every Month: After rain or car washes, look inside the DRL—if you see fog (condensation), the seal is worn. Ask Chery for a replacement rubber gasket—condensation will rust the LED module over time.
Don’t Mess With the LEDs: If the DRL stops shining, don’t try to replace the LEDs yourself—they’re soldered to the module. Just swap the whole assembly (it’s cheaper than fixing the module).
Aftermarket DRLs cost half as much, but they’re not worth it:
Dim Light: Their LEDs are cheap—you’ll barely notice them in daylight, which defeats the whole safety point.
Leaky Seals: They use thin rubber that cracks in 3 months—water gets inside, shorting out the module.
Fragile Clips: The mounting clips break easily—you’ll have a DRL that rattles every time you drive.

The original M11-4499020 actually passes Chery’s tests with no issues—it handles freezing temps and blazing heat, never leaks, and casts the perfect fog-cutting beam. It’s not just some regular lamp—it’s real peace of mind when the weather gets ugly.
Bottom line, the Chery Arrizo 5 Front Fog Lamp M11-4499020 is your “bad-weather safety go-to.” It lets you see clearly, makes sure other drivers spot you, and fits your Arrizo 5 like it was made just for it. Stick with the original part, and you can even install it yourself—it’s super easy! You’ll never have to stress about driving in fog or rain again.
