Pro Tip: If you previously used the "Light Running" app and are having issues, please try downloading "Star Light Running". This is the enhanced/upgraded version of the App. Synchronization Issues (One side not working):
Most RGB kits use a physical wire to sync the left and right lights. If you can only control one side via the App, please check the Sync Signal Wire connecting the two lights to ensure it is plugged in securely.
Common Issues & Solutions
1. Tail light does not turn on after installation
Please first check whether the wiring harness connectors are properly connected and fully seated. Inspect the pins inside the connector to ensure none are bent or misaligned.
If any pins are bent, you may carefully straighten them using a paper clip or other small precision tool, then reconnect the plug securely.
2. Swap test
If the tail light still does not illuminate, try swapping the left and right tail lights to determine whether the issue is related to the light unit itself or the vehicle wiring.
3. Condensation inside the tail light
Condensation may occur due to temperature differences, which is a normal physical phenomenon. After the tail light has been operating for a period of time and the internal temperature stabilizes, the moisture will naturally dissipate.
This does not affect brightness, performance, or the lifespan of the tail light.
