3. Setup & Installation

This side light is designed for easy installation and can directly replace old side lights. Ensure the vehicle's power is off before beginning.

Installation Steps

1. Prepare Vehicle: Before installation, turn off the vehicle's main power supply and ensure that the circuit is completely disconnected.
2. Positioning: Select the EU regulatory compliance outline positions on both sides of the vehicle. Clean the installation surface thoroughly to ensure proper adhesion and contact.
3. Mounting: Fix the lamp body securely with the matching screws provided.
4. Wiring:
   • Connect the red wire to the positive pole of your vehicle's electrical system.
   • Connect the black wire to the negative pole (ground).
   • Connect these wires to the interface of the original vehicle side light/width indicator light circuit.
   • Seal all wiring connections with insulating tape or a waterproof sheath to prevent moisture ingress and short circuits.
5. Testing: Restore power supply to the circuit. Test the lighting function to ensure it operates correctly and confirm there is no short circuit.

4. Operating Instructions

The KEVANLY Truck Side Marker Light functions as a contour marking and side warning light, enhancing visibility for other road users.

• Dynamic Flowing Signal: When activated (e.g., with turn signals or as running lights), the LEDs illuminate sequentially, creating a dynamic flowing effect.
• Enhanced Safety: This sequential illumination makes surrounding vehicles notice your presence earlier, especially during turns, contributing to overall road safety.

5. Maintenance

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

• Regular Inspection: Regularly check the fixing parts and wiring of the lamp body. This helps prevent loosening and water ingress that can be caused by driving vibrations.
• Lens Care: Avoid collisions and scratching of the lamp body lens to maintain clarity and light output.
• Cleaning: Clean the lamp body periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the PC material.
• Waterproof Integrity: The one-piece PC material lamp housing with industrial-grade waterproof sealant is designed to be resistant to wind and rain.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your side marker lights, consider the following:

• Light Not Working:
  • Check all wiring connections (red to positive, black to negative) to ensure they are secure and correctly polarized.
  • Verify that the vehicle's power supply is active and providing 12-24V DC.
  • Inspect for any loose connections or damaged wires.
  • Ensure there are no short circuits in the wiring.
• Dim or Flickering Light:
  • Confirm the voltage supply to the light is within the 12-24V DC range.
  • Check for poor electrical contacts or corrosion at the connection points.
• Dynamic Flowing Effect Not Working:
  • Re-check wiring to ensure proper connection to the vehicle's signal circuit.
  • Ensure the light is receiving consistent power.

For persistent issues, it is recommended to consult a qualified automotive electrician.
