Troubleshooting

Bulb does not light up

Ensure the bulb is fully seated in the socket. Verify the 12V power supply to the fixture. Check the vehicle's fuse for that circuit. Try the bulb in a known working socket to rule out a faulty bulb.

Bulb flashes or flickers

Check for a loose connection at the socket. Ensure the bulb is the correct wattage (21W) for the fixture, as too low a wattage may cause flickering in some systems. Inspect the socket for any damage or corrosion.

Premature bulb failure

Ensure the bulb is not subjected to excessive vibration. Verify the voltage is stable at 12V and not fluctuating significantly. Avoid touching the bulb glass with bare hands during installation.
