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 、 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 T21-4499020 right DRL only works with T21-platform Chery Tiggo 5s—using the wrong one is a waste of money and a safety risk. Here’s the exact fit:
Fits These Models: Chery Tiggo 5 (T21 platform) 2013–2017. Works with all trims (Comfort, Luxury, Sport)—since every T21 Tiggo 5 has the same front bumper design and DRL wiring.
Won’t Fit These:
Newer Tiggo models (e.g., Tiggo 5x, Tiggo 7): These have bigger bumpers or integrated DRLs (built into the headlights)—this T21 DRL will be too small, leaving gaps.
Other Chery models (e.g., Tiggo 3, Arrizo 5): Their front bumpers are shaped totally differently—this DRL won’t clip on, and the wiring won’t match.
Non-Chery vehicles: Even if it “looks similar,” the mounting clips and connector are wrong—you’ll have to drill holes (ruining your bumper) or splice wires (risking electrical fires).
System Compatibility: Must use Chery’s original wiring harness and 12V electrical system. Don’t plug it into aftermarket voltage boosters—they’ll overheat the LED chips. Also, if your Tiggo 5 has a DRL on/off switch (some trims do), this assembly will work with it seamlessly—no extra setup needed.
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.

The original T21-4499020 actually passes Chery’s tests with flying colors—it can take temps from -30°C all the way up to 60°C, never leaks, and stays nice and bright for years. It’s not just some regular light—it’s the peace of mind knowing other drivers will spot you, no matter what the weather’s like.
Bottom line, the Chery Tiggo 5 Right Daytime Running Lamp T21-4499020 is your car’s “daytime safety buddy.” It keeps you seen by other drivers, fits like it was made for your Tiggo 5, and lasts pretty much forever. Stick with the original part, have it installed the right way (either by pros or a careful DIY job), and you’ll never have to stress about blending in with other cars on the road again.
