12 Months from Delivery

Coverage for manufacturing defects under normal use.

Automotive-Grade QA

IATF/ISO practices, functional testing, and fitment checks.

Clear ECE Context

E-mark where applicable; use as intended for tuning projects.

At a Glance — Your 12-Month Warranty (from delivery)

  • Coverage: manufacturing defects under normal use (e.g., premature LED/DRL failure, persistent moisture ingress, harness faults).
  • Remedy: repair or replacement; if not feasible in a reasonable timeframe, we’ll discuss alternatives.
  • Proof: keep your order number and photos/video of symptoms; they speed up diagnosis and resolution.
  • Product pages: markings, compatibility, and what’s included are shown for each SKU.

Tip: keep original packaging until you’ve tested fit, function, and beam aim.

What’s Covered vs. What Isn’t

Typically Covered

  • DRL strip stops working early in normal use.
  • Persistent droplets/pooling that don’t clear (properly installed).
  • Manufacturing fault in a harness connector.

Typically Not Covered

  • Impacts, cracked lenses, or cosmetic damage.
  • Modified wiring (cut/spliced harnesses, unsupported adapters).
  • Water ingress from improper sealing or vehicle flooding.
  • Evidence of incorrect installation (broken tabs, cross-threaded mounts).

How to File a Warranty Claim

  1. Locate your order number and the exact product SKU.
  2. Document the issue: photos of front/rear housings, connectors, and the symptom. For moisture, add a photo immediately and another after 24h. Short video helps for intermittent issues.
  3. Contact support with a brief description: when it started, any dash messages/codes, and any steps tried.
  4. Diagnosis by our team — if it’s a manufacturing defect, we confirm the remedy.
  5. Resolution: repair/replacement arranged; we coordinate labels and timing to minimise downtime.

What “Quality Assurance” Means at VLAND

Automotive-Grade Manufacturing

Production guided by IATF/ISO practices; material checks, in-process inspections, end-of-line tests, and thermal/humidity stress on representative units.

Product-Level Markings

Many EU-focused units carry ECE/E-mark type-approval (circled “E” with a number). Some SKUs for other regions reference DOT/SAE. Always check the specific product page.

Certificates & Registrations

These documents reflect the quality systems and design protections behind VLAND products. Availability and markings vary by SKU — see each product page for specifics.

Moisture, Condensation & LEDs — What’s Normal?

Condensation

Light misting can appear with temperature swings and should clear as the lamp warms.

Ingress

Persistent droplets/pooling that don’t dissipate point to a sealing issue — document and contact support.

Installation & Care Tips (Protect Your Warranty)

  • Disconnect the battery before installing; avoid forcing connectors.
  • Seat and torque mounts evenly to prevent stress on housings.
  • Aim correctly against a flat surface per your vehicle’s spec.
  • Avoid high-pressure jets directly at seals and vents.
  • Don’t cut or splice unless an official instruction specifies it — ask support if in doubt.

ECE / E-mark — Helpful Context

An E-mark indicates a lamp has been type-approved to a UNECE regulation. Many EU-focused VLAND units carry this marking (see product pages and, where applicable, included certificates). If a product doesn’t list E-marking, simply use it as intended and for tuning projects in line with local expectations.
