4. Setup and Installation
The VLAND LED Tail Lights are designed for direct fitment, requiring no vehicle modifications. However, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper function and to avoid damage.
Important Installation Note:
There is a waterproof pad on the back of the tail lights. Please ensure this waterproof pad is properly sealed and there are no gaps during installation to prevent moisture intrusion.
General Installation Steps:
- Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is turned off and the battery is disconnected for safety.
- Access: Remove any necessary trim panels or covers to access the existing tail light assembly.
- Removal: Disconnect the wiring harness and unbolt the old tail light assembly. Carefully remove it from the vehicle.
- Waterproof Seal: Before installing the new VLAND LED Tail Light, verify the waterproof pad is correctly positioned and sealed to prevent water entry.
- Installation: Position the new VLAND LED Tail Light into the opening. Secure it with the original bolts.
- Wiring: Connect the new tail light's wiring harness to the vehicle's electrical system. These lights are designed for "plug and play" installation.
- Testing: Reconnect the battery and test all light functions (DRL, brake, turn signal, reverse, fog light) before reassembling any removed trim.
- Final Assembly: Reinstall any removed trim panels or covers.
