Troubleshooting

DRL does not turn on

Verify the electrical connection is secure and properly seated. Check the vehicle's fuse for the DRL circuit and replace if blown. Ensure the vehicle's electrical system is functioning correctly.

DRL flickers or is dim

Inspect the wiring for any damage or loose connections. Check the voltage supply to the DRL. A failing DRL unit may require replacement.

Water ingress or condensation inside the lens

This usually indicates a seal failure. The DRL unit will likely need to be replaced. Ensure the housing is dry before attempting reinstallation if replacing the unit.

Incorrect fitment in bumper

Re-confirm the part number and vehicle compatibility list. Ensure no foreign debris is obstructing the mounting points. If confirmed compatible, the mounting tab may be damaged, or the vehicle bumper may have been modified.
