8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your VLAND Full LED Tail Lights, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights not illuminating | Loose connection, blown fuse, incorrect wiring. | Check all wiring connections, inspect vehicle fuses, verify wiring polarity. |
| Flickering or inconsistent light | Poor connection, voltage fluctuation, faulty resistor. | Ensure connections are tight, check vehicle's electrical system, inspect resistor. |
| Condensation inside lens | Improperly sealed housing, extreme temperature changes. | Ensure waterproof seals are intact. Small amounts of condensation may dissipate naturally. If persistent, re-seal. |
| Turn signals not sequential | Incorrect wiring, faulty signal module. | Verify turn signal wiring. Contact support if issue persists. |
