4. Care and Maintenance
The VLAND Headlights are constructed with durable PC, ABS, PMMA, and GLASS materials, designed to be fully sealed, waterproof, dust-resistant, and corrosion-resistant. This ensures reliable performance even in harsh weather conditions.
To maintain optimal clarity and appearance, clean the headlight lenses periodically with a soft cloth and mild automotive-specific cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the lens material.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Common Issues
- Fitment Concerns: In some cases, minor adjustments to surrounding components (e.g., loosening the stock air intake box) may be necessary to achieve optimal fitment, particularly on the passenger side.
- Functionality Issues: If any lighting function (DRL, low beam, high beam, turn signal) does not operate as expected after installation, re-check all wiring connections and ensure they are secure.
5.2 Seeking Support
If you encounter any problems during installation or operation, or if you are unsure about compatibility, please contact VLAND customer support.
