Default VLAND headlight Install Issue

Installed new Vland (https://www.ebay.com/itm/394335057057) but only low and high work. When I do indicators the headlight flash. Inside console have L and R indicator slightly lit. I contacted the seller and vland but was wondering if anyone else ran in to any issue w/ these lights.

Did you run the wire to the fuse box?

I just put these in a month ago and have had zero issues.

Yes, I had older aftermarket dlr headlights and had wire to the fuse box. Placed new headlight to the same location. The dlr don't do any startup animation and stays blue (unless i remove a relay in its wiring). I get no amber turn signal at all. The weird part is that I installed older headlight and the issue is the same. Indicator flash headlights. Have an appointment w/ dealer to scan the codes this week.

I fixed the problem which was not related the VLANDs. There is ground wire from the light's wiring. The screw was loose and was causing the flickering. Just had to tighten it and was all good.

where did the ground wire screw into? Was it at the point that’s behind/below the headlamp?

on driver side - it was already screwed to the chassis under the light it self. I had used it to ground older DLR line to it. (New VLANDs don't have this extra wire to ground) Seems I did not tighten the screw when I took that wire out.
