- Dynamic Animation: A unique light sequence that activates when the vehicle is unlocked, creating a welcoming effect. This feature can be disabled by unplugging the designated connector on the back of the headlight (refer to Figure 5.1).
- Breathing Light: A subtle pulsating light effect that adds to the modern aesthetic.
- Amber Sequential Turn Signals: When the turn signal is activated, the amber LEDs illuminate in a sequential pattern, clearly indicating your turning intention.

7. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your headlights.
- Cleaning: Clean the headlight lenses regularly with a soft cloth and mild automotive cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the polycarbonate lens material.
- Condensation: While the headlights are IP67 weatherproof, condensation can occasionally occur due to temperature changes.
How to Clear Foggy Headlights/Taillights:
- Heat Application: You can apply heat to the assemblies using a hairdryer or heat gun to dry out the condensation.
- Sunlight Exposure: If a heating element is unavailable, remove the headlight bulbs and dust caps, then park the vehicle in direct sunlight to achieve a similar drying effect.
- Preventative Measures: To combat condensation in areas with limited sunlight or natural heat, keep the vehicle away from water sources. Allow headlights/taillights to dry naturally after rain or car washes.

- Dynamic Animation Not Activating: Ensure the ACC plug for the DRL function is correctly connected to the fuse box. Check if the specific connector for dynamic animation (refer to Figure 5.1) is plugged in.
- Condensation Inside Lens: Refer to the 'Maintenance' section for steps on how to clear foggy headlights.
- Product Damaged or Defective: If the merchandise is damaged upon receipt or becomes defective, please contact customer support immediately. Provide the product label, video, and picture proof clearly showing the defect.
