AUXLIGHT LED Bulb User Manual

Model: 2057 / 1157 Series

Brand: AUXLIGHT

Introduction

This manual provides essential information for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your AUXLIGHT 2057/1157 series LED bulbs. These ultra-bright 60-SMD LED bulbs are designed as replacements for various automotive lighting applications, including back up/reverse lights, brake/tail lights, turn signal/parking lights, and running lights.

Important Notices

  • AUXLIGHT has upgraded the appearance of these 2057/1157 LED bulbs. You may receive either the older or newer design randomly. Both designs maintain the same high performance and specifications.
  • To address issues such as hyper flash, fast blinking, no flash, or error messages on the dashboard, it may be necessary to add a 50W 6ohm load resistor. These bulbs do not have a built-in resistor, and the package does not include one.

Product Features

The AUXLIGHT LED bulbs are engineered for superior performance and longevity. Key features include:

  • High-Tech Design: Uniform beam pattern with high-power 60SMD-4014 chipsets for maximum brightness.
  • Durability: Constructed with the highest quality materials for extended working hours.
  • Standard Base: Features a standard 1157/2057 base, closely matching the size of traditional halogen bulbs for easy fitment.
  • Enhanced Brightness: Provides up to 320% brighter light output compared to stock bulbs.
  • Efficient Heat Dissipation: Full aluminum housing with a projection lens and a unique hollow heat sink design ensures maximum light output and effective heat distribution.
  • Stable Performance: Built-in constant current IC for a longer lifespan and low power consumption, compatible with most vehicles.

Setup and Installation

The AUXLIGHT LED bulbs are designed for straightforward installation, often referred to as "plug and play."

  1. Identify Socket Type: Ensure your vehicle's bulb socket is compatible with the 1157/2057 base type. This bulb is designed to fit most 1157, 2057, 2357, 7528, 1016, 1034, 1034A, 1034LL, 1034NA, 1035, 1157A, 1157ALL, 1157LL, 1157NA, 1157ST, 1178A, 1196, 198, 2057A, 2057ALL, 2057LL, 2057NA, 2357A, 2357ALL, 2357LL, 2357NA, 2397, 3496, 7528L, 94, BAY15D, p21/5w sockets.
  2. Remove Old Bulb: Carefully remove the existing halogen bulb from its socket.
  3. Insert LED Bulb: Insert the AUXLIGHT LED bulb firmly into the original socket. The non-polarity design means there is no specific orientation required for installation.
  4. Test Functionality: Turn on your vehicle's lights to test the new LED bulbs.
  5. Address Hyper Flash (If Needed): If you experience hyper flash, fast blinking, no flash, or an error message on your dashboard, install a 50W 6ohm load resistor in parallel with each LED bulb. These resistors are sold separately.

Operating Instructions

The AUXLIGHT 2057/1157 LED bulbs support dual brightness modes, depending on their application:

  • Bright Mode (4W): Activated when used as brake lights, turn signal lights, or reverse lights.
  • Dim Mode (1W): Activated when used as tail lights, running lights, or parking lights.
  • Single Function Bulbs: If your vehicle's application only requires a single brightness function (e.g., only reverse lights), the bulb will operate solely in its bright mode.

Maintenance

AUXLIGHT LED bulbs are designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. However, to ensure optimal performance and longevity:

  • Regular Inspection: Periodically check the bulbs for any signs of damage or loose connections.
  • Cleanliness: Keep the bulb's lens and housing free from dirt, dust, and debris to maintain maximum light output. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
  • Proper Fitment: Ensure the bulbs remain securely seated in their sockets to prevent flickering or intermittent operation.

Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
Hyper Flash / Fast BlinkingLED bulbs draw less power than traditional halogen bulbs, which can cause the vehicle's flasher relay to interpret it as a burnt-out bulb.Install a 50W 6ohm load resistor in parallel with each LED bulb. These resistors simulate the power draw of a halogen bulb.
No Flash / No LightSimilar to hyper flash, insufficient load can prevent the flasher relay from activating. Incorrect installation or a faulty bulb.Ensure the bulb is correctly seated in the socket. Install a 50W 6ohm load resistor. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Error Message on DashboardModern vehicles have CANBUS systems that monitor bulb resistance. LED bulbs' low resistance can trigger an error.Install a 50W 6ohm load resistor to increase the circuit's resistance to a level recognized by the CANBUS system.
