- Wiring Integrity: Inspect the wiring harness for any frayed wires, cracked insulation, or corrosion. Repair or replace damaged sections immediately.
- Waterproofing: While the lights are IP67 waterproof, avoid directing high-pressure water jets directly at the light units or electrical connections during washing.
- Storage: If storing your motorcycle for an extended period, ensure the lights are clean and dry. Disconnect the battery if necessary to prevent any parasitic drain.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Future Eyes X100 LED lights, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn on. | No power supply, loose connection, blown fuse. | Check battery connections. Verify all wiring is secure. Inspect the fuse in the wiring harness and replace if blown. Ensure ACC wire is connected to an active ignition source. |
| Lights flicker or are dim. | Insufficient power, loose connection, faulty wiring. | Check battery voltage. Ensure all connections are tight. Inspect wiring for damage or corrosion. |
| Switch not responding. | Faulty switch, wiring issue to switch. | Check the switch's wiring connections. If the issue persists, the switch may need replacement. |
| One light not working. | Loose connection to the specific light, faulty light unit. | Check the quick-connect plug for the non-working light. If connections are secure, the light unit may be faulty and require replacement. |
