Warranty

At Vantage Lighting, our products are built for real-world road use, harsh weather, and demanding vehicle applications. We stand behind the quality of our lights and vehicle-specific kits with a warranty designed to give customers confidence while keeping the cover fair and practical.

This warranty applies to Vantage Lighting products purchased directly from Vantage Lighting or from an authorised Vantage Lighting retailer. Proof of purchase will be required for all warranty claims.

Warranty Coverage

This includes:

* LED failure caused by a manufacturing defect
* Internal driver or circuit failure caused by a manufacturing defect
* Loss of light output caused by an internal product fault
* Water ingress caused by a manufacturing or sealing defect

Finish, Coating & Appearance — 1 Year

The external finish of Vantage light units is covered for 2 years against significant coating defects caused by a manufacturing fault.

This includes:

* Premature peeling or flaking of the coating
* Significant corrosion caused by a coating defect
* Significant colour fading or finish failure not caused by external factors

This does not cover stone chips, scratches, pressure washing damage, road debris, accident damage, chemical damage, harsh cleaners, TFR, salt damage where the product has not been maintained, or normal wear and tear.

Minor cosmetic changes over time are not considered a warranty fault.

This includes:

* Bracket failure caused by a manufacturing defect
* Incorrectly supplied kit components
* Defective mounting hardware supplied by Vantage

Condensation

A small amount of temporary condensation or misting inside a light may occur in certain temperature and humidity conditions. This is not considered a warranty fault if it clears naturally and does not affect the performance or function of the light.

Persistent water build-up, pooling, or moisture that does not clear may be assessed as a potential warranty issue, provided the lens, housing, seals, and breather system have not been damaged or tampered with.
