6.2 Dual Color Lens Replacement

The LED pods come with removable white (clear) and amber lens covers, allowing you to customize your lighting for different conditions.

2. Carefully remove the existing lens cover.
3. Align the desired lens cover (white or amber) with the light housing.
4. Press firmly until the lens cover snaps securely into place.

The white (clear) beam is suitable for long-distance visibility, while the amber beam reduces glare and improves visibility in fog, rain, and dusty conditions.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Auxbeam LED Pods.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the lens covers with a soft cloth and mild soap solution to remove dirt, mud, or debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the lens.
• Inspection: Regularly check all mounting hardware and wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion. Tighten any loose bolts and replace damaged wiring.
• Waterproofing: The lights are IP68 rated, featuring a pressure-stabilized design and a 0.01cm ultra-tight seal. Ensure the seals around the lens covers are intact after replacement to maintain water resistance. The moisture-free breather valve helps prevent condensation.
• Heat Management: The lights are built with a full copper board and premium aluminum housing for efficient heat dissipation. Ensure the fins on the back of the light are free from obstructions to allow proper airflow.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Auxbeam LED Pods, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps.

• Lights Not Turning On:
  • Check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and properly connected to the vehicle's power source and ground.
  • Verify that the vehicle's battery has sufficient charge.
  • Inspect the fuse on the wiring harness. Replace if blown.
  • Ensure the switch is functioning correctly by pressing both buttons.
• RGB Backlight Not Changing Colors:
  • Ensure the RGB button is being short-pressed to cycle through colors. A long press will turn it off.
  • Check the connection between the light and the RGB wiring harness.
• Flickering or Intermittent Operation:
  • Inspect all wiring for loose connections or damaged insulation.
  • Ensure the ground connection is solid and free from corrosion.
  • Verify that the input voltage is within the specified 9-36V range.
• Condensation Inside Lens:
  • While the lights are designed to prevent condensation, extreme temperature changes can sometimes cause minor fogging. This usually dissipates with use.
  • Ensure the lens covers are properly sealed after replacement.
