5. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the headlight assembly operates in conjunction with your vehicle's existing lighting controls. Familiarize yourself with the functions of your vehicle's light switch.

  • Low Beam: Provides standard illumination for general driving conditions.
  • High Beam: Offers increased illumination for improved visibility on unlit roads. Use responsibly and dim for oncoming traffic.
  • Turn Signal: Activates the amber reflector for signaling turns or lane changes.
  • Parking Light: Provides low-level illumination for parking or when stopped.

The integrated adjuster allows you to fine-tune the vertical aim of the headlight beam. This adjustment should be performed by a qualified technician or according to local regulations to ensure proper road illumination and avoid blinding other drivers.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your headlight assembly.

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean the clear lens with a soft cloth and mild automotive cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the UV coating.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the headlight assembly for any signs of damage, cracks, or moisture intrusion. The IP70 waterproof design minimizes these risks, but regular checks are recommended.
  • Bulb Replacement: If a bulb fails, replace it with an H4 type bulb. Ensure the vehicle is off and the battery is disconnected before attempting bulb replacement.
  • UV Coating: The integrated UV coating helps protect against environmental degradation. Avoid using aftermarket lens restoration kits that may compromise this protective layer.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your headlight assembly, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

  • Headlight Not Working: Check the bulb for filament breakage. Verify electrical connections are secure and free from corrosion. Inspect the vehicle's fuse box for a blown headlight fuse.
  • Dim Lighting: Ensure the correct wattage H4 bulbs are installed. Check for any loose connections or signs of voltage drop.
  • Moisture Inside Lens: While the assembly is IP70 waterproof, minor condensation can occur due to temperature changes. This usually dissipates. If persistent moisture or water pooling is observed, check for proper sealing or damage.
  • Improper Beam Aim: Use the integrated adjuster to correct the beam aim. If unable to achieve proper alignment, consult a professional technician.

For issues not resolved by these steps, please contact AXLAHA customer support.
