Installation

These headlights are designed for OEM direct fitment, requiring no vehicle modifications or drilling for installation. However, careful attention to wiring is essential.

1. Bulb Installation

The headlight assemblies require D2S/D2H/H7 bulbs (not included). Ensure you select the correct bulb type for your desired light output. If using Xenon bulbs, a ballast will be needed.

Video: "How to Install D2S Led Bulbs for VLAND Headlight Assemblies" by VLAND US. This video demonstrates the process of installing D2S LED bulbs into the VLAND headlight assembly, including securing the bulb and connecting the wiring.

Key steps for bulb installation:

  • Carefully remove the bulb holder from the headlight assembly.
  • Insert the new D2S/D2H/H7 bulb into the holder, ensuring it is seated correctly.
  • Reinsert the bulb and holder into the headlight assembly, twisting to secure it.
  • Connect the bulb's wiring to the appropriate connectors.

2. Electrical Connections

The new headlight will plug into the factory main plug. The parking/turn signal light will use the factory mount for the factory light. Remove the original marker bulb and plug the LED wire into that plug socket.

Important Installation Tip: Pay close attention to connecting the 'PLUG FOR DRL&TURN SIGNAL' correctly. If the DRLs do not light up after installation, check this plug and try plugging it in both orientations, as polarity can sometimes be an issue.

DRL and Turn Signal Plug Connection

After installation, it is recommended to adjust the headlight beam. The assembly includes up/down and left/right adjusting screws for precise alignment.

Operating Instructions

  • Daytime Running Lights (DRL): The white DRL halos will illuminate when the vehicle's ignition is on, provided your vehicle supports DRL functionality. For vehicles without factory DRL, the halos will activate when the light knob is set to the running light option.
  • Sequential Turn Signals: When the turn signal is activated, the amber halo will illuminate in a sequential pattern, providing a modern and distinct indication.
  • High/Low Beams: Operate the high and low beams using your vehicle's standard headlight controls.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Clean the headlight lenses regularly with a soft cloth and mild automotive-grade cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the lens.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the wiring and connections for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
  • Bulb Replacement: If a bulb fails, replace it with the correct type (D2S/D2H/H7) following the installation steps.
