Does this assembly come with a bulb?

What type of bulb does it use?

Is this for the left or right side of the vehicle?

This assembly is for the left side of the vehicle.

Can this be used in both left-hand and right-hand traffic countries?

What is the main advantage of using an OE quality part?

Using an Original Equipment (OE) quality part ensures it meets the same standards as the part originally fitted to the vehicle, guaranteeing proper fit, performance, and durability.

How do I clean the tail light lens?

Gently wipe the lens with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the plastic.

Troubleshooting

Light not functioning after installation

Check that the bulb is correctly seated in the holder and the holder is properly connected to the assembly. Verify electrical connections to the vehicle harness are secure. Ensure the correct bulb type (W21W) is used.

Moisture inside the tail light assembly

Inspect the seals around the lens and the housing. If damaged, the assembly may need replacement. Allow any existing moisture to dry out completely before reinstallation if possible.

Indicator, stop, or taillight not working individually
