Product Specifications

The KEVANLY 1157 LED signal light is designed for automotive use, featuring a built-in CanBus decoding module to prevent error messages and flickering. It offers efficient heat dissipation and meets EU vehicle lighting standards.

Installation Instructions

This product is designed for plug-and-play installation without the need for special tools or modifications to the original driving route.

1. Prepare Vehicle: Before beginning installation, ensure the vehicle's power is turned off and the key is removed. This disconnects the circuit and prevents short circuits.
2. Remove Original Bulb: Carefully remove the existing car light bulb from its socket.
3. Install LED Bulb: Align the metal contacts of the new LED signal light with the socket interface. Gently push and rotate clockwise to tighten the bulb into place.
   • For 1157 bulbs with dual contacts, ensure the contacts are properly aligned with the slot in the socket to prevent reverse connection.
4. Secure Seating: After insertion, gently shake the bulb to confirm it is securely seated in the socket.
5. Test Functionality: Power on the vehicle and test the lighting function. Confirm that the light is operating normally (on/off/flashing as expected).
6. Troubleshooting (if needed): If the bulb fails to light, remove it, reverse the insertion direction (swap polarity), and re-insert it firmly. Then retest.
7. Final Assembly: Once proper illumination is verified, reinstall any removed instrument panel covers or vehicle components.

Operating Instructions

The KEVANLY LED signal lights are designed to integrate seamlessly with your vehicle's existing electrical system.

• 1156 Bulbs: These feature a single contact and provide a single level of brightness, suitable for single-function lighting applications such as reverse lights or turn signals.
• 1157 Bulbs: These feature dual contacts, allowing for two levels of brightness (high and low gears). This makes them suitable for dual-function lighting, such as brake lights (high brightness) and side/driving lights (low brightness).
• The lights are designed to be consistent with the original control functions of your vehicle, requiring no additional debugging or adjustments after installation.

Care and Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your LED lights, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Physical Handling: Avoid hitting or squeezing the lamp body. While durable, excessive force can damage internal components.
• Environmental Protection: Keep the lights away from high-temperature oil stains, which can degrade the material and affect performance.
• Cleaning: If cleaning is necessary, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the aluminum alloy housing or the LED lens.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the bulbs for any signs of wear or damage, especially after prolonged use or exposure to harsh conditions.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your KEVANLY LED lights, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problem: The LED bulb does not light up after installation.

Solution:

1. Ensure the vehicle power is on and the circuit is active.
2. Check if the bulb is securely seated in the socket. Gently shake it to confirm.
3. LED bulbs are polarity sensitive. If it doesn't light up, remove the bulb, reverse its insertion direction (swap polarity), and re-insert it firmly. Then test again.
4. Verify that the vehicle's original wiring and fuse for the light are functioning correctly.

Problem: The LED bulb flickers or causes an error message on the dashboard.

Solution: This product includes a built-in CanBus decoding module designed to prevent such issues. If flickering or errors persist, ensure the bulb is correctly installed and that your vehicle's electrical system is compatible with aftermarket LED lights. In rare cases, an additional load resistor might be needed for certain sensitive vehicle systems, though this is generally not required for this model.

User Tips

Based on user feedback, here are some tips for getting the most out of your LED lights:

• Brightness Expectations: While these LEDs offer improved brightness over traditional bulbs, some users have noted that they expected an even brighter output. Consider your specific brightness needs before purchase.
• Durability: The aluminum alloy construction is designed for durability. However, long-term performance can vary based on environmental factors and vehicle usage. Regular inspection is recommended.
• 1157 Brightness Levels: For the 1157 dual-contact bulbs, some users have observed a minimal difference between the two brightness levels (e.g., for brake vs. driving lights). This is a characteristic of the bulb's design.
