Errors in the DIY installation of LED lamps

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Warning light – error code

In this video, the major mistakes that can be made when installing LED lamps by oneself are illustrated: placing the kit on top of the heat sink, causing the fan to fuse due to the heat. Result: an expensive kit to throw away. Alternatively, to save space, a rather delicate cable was zip-tied, causing it to break on both sides, aided by the heat inside the headlight. In another case, a LED, handled with too much force, became unsoldered, making it impossible to function. Another case: the cable did not fit into its housing and was cut to be zip-tied like a common electrical cable, but here these are shielded cables, and without their shielded sleeve, they no longer work. Last example, a LED was sanded on one side because it was too big (when there was a smaller version available), thus altering the mechanical structure of the heat dissipating fins. Installations must be done correctly and devices should NOT be modified in any way.
