Installation
The Nilight Headlights Assembly is designed for a straightforward, OE standard installation, typically taking about 15 minutes. No modification or drilling is needed for compatible models.
Installation Steps:
- Preparation: Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and turn off the engine. Disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery to prevent electrical shorts.
- Access Old Headlights: Depending on your vehicle model, you may need to remove the grille or bumper components to access the headlight mounting bolts. Consult your vehicle's service manual for specific instructions.
- Remove Old Headlights: Unscrew all mounting bolts securing the old headlight assembly. Carefully disconnect the electrical connectors from the bulbs and the main harness. Gently pull the old headlight assembly out of its housing.
- Install New Headlights: Connect the electrical harnesses of the new Nilight Headlights Assembly to the vehicle's wiring. Ensure all connections are secure and properly seated. Carefully slide the new headlight assembly into the vehicle's housing, aligning it with the mounting points.
- Secure Headlights: Reinstall all mounting bolts to secure the new headlight assembly firmly in place.
- Reconnect Battery: Reconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery.
- Test Functionality: Turn on the vehicle's lights (low beam, high beam, turn signals, DRLs, side markers) to ensure all functions are working correctly.
- Adjust Beam Level: Use the adjusting screw on the back of the headlight assembly to fine-tune the beam level for optimal visibility and to avoid blinding oncoming drivers.

Operation
Your Nilight Headlights Assembly provides clear and bright illumination for safer driving. The integrated DRL (Daytime Running Light) enhances daytime visibility, while the high and low beams ensure optimal lighting for various driving conditions.
Beam Adjustment:
The headlights feature an adjusting screw to allow for precise beam level alignment. This is crucial for ensuring proper road illumination and preventing glare for oncoming traffic. After installation, it is recommended to perform a beam alignment check, ideally in a dark area against a wall, to ensure the headlights are aimed correctly according to local regulations.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Nilight Headlights Assembly, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the outer lens with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can damage the polycarbonate lens.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the headlight assembly for any signs of damage, cracks, or loose connections.
- Waterproof Design: The headlights are IP65-rated and completely sealed to prevent moisture intrusion. They also feature ventilation holes to regulate temperature and prevent fogging. If condensation occurs, ensure the ventilation holes are not obstructed.
- UV Protection: The lenses are made from upgraded materials that are UV and shock resistant to prevent yellowing or cracking over time.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Headlights not turning on. | Loose electrical connection, blown fuse, incorrect bulb installation. | Check all electrical connections. Inspect vehicle's fuse box for blown fuses and replace if necessary. Ensure bulbs are correctly seated. |
| Excessive condensation inside the lens. | Obstructed ventilation hole, extreme temperature changes. | Ensure ventilation holes are clear. Minor condensation is normal and should dissipate. If persistent, check for proper sealing or damage. |
| Beam pattern is incorrect or too high/low. | Improper beam adjustment. | Use the adjusting screw to fine-tune the beam level. Refer to local regulations for proper headlight aim. |
| Headlight flickering. | Loose connection, faulty bulb, vehicle electrical issue. | Check connections. Test with a new bulb. If problem persists, consult a professional. |
