7. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your tail light assembly after installation, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Light Not Working:
  • Check the bulb: Ensure the bulb is correctly installed and not burnt out. Replace if necessary.
  • Check electrical connection: Verify that the wiring harness is securely connected to the tail light assembly.
  • Check fuse: Inspect the vehicle's fuse box for any blown fuses related to the tail lights.
• Flickering Light:
  • Inspect bulb: Ensure the bulb is not loose or damaged.
  • Check wiring: Look for any loose or corroded wiring connections.
• Moisture Inside Lens:
  • While the product is designed to be waterproof, extreme temperature changes can sometimes cause temporary condensation. This usually dissipates.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, it is recommended to consult a qualified automotive technician.
