6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your VLAND LED Tail Lights, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Lights Not Working: Check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and properly seated. Verify that the vehicle's fuses related to the tail lights are intact.
- Flickering Lights: This could indicate a loose connection or an issue with the resistors. Recheck connections and ensure resistors are correctly installed.
- Error Messages on Dashboard: Modern vehicles may display error messages if the new lights draw different power than the original ones. The included resistors are designed to prevent this; ensure they are properly connected. If the issue persists, consult a professional auto electrician.
- Moisture Inside Lens: While rated IP67, extreme temperature changes can sometimes cause temporary condensation. If moisture persists or accumulates significantly, inspect the seal around the light housing.
