To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your VLAND LED Tail Lights, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Regularly clean the tail light lenses with a soft cloth and mild automotive cleaner to remove dirt and debris.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the lens or housing.

Moisture or fogging inside the tail light assembly can occur due to temperature changes or environmental factors. Here are some tips:

• Apply Heat: Gently apply heat to the lenses using a hairdryer or heat gun to help dry out condensation.
