When the vacuum is turned on, the headlights should simultaneously turn on.
If the headlights don’t turn on, the lights can be inoperative due to electrical malfunctions or due to broken components.
Follow this guide to replace your Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away headlights.

Shark sent a brand new replacement nozzle to me (covered in their 5yr warranty) but head lights STILL DO NOT WORK - which makes me wonder where else the issue could be because the above “fix” would not have fixed my vacuum head lights.
These steps are great, but how do you ACTUALLY replace the led light strip itself? Do u need a special strip? Just any led strip? U left a few more steps out. Is like to replace mine instead of buying a whole new vacuum head.
Protip: Print out a copy of the first photo for step 6 as large as will fit on the page. Tape it to a piece of foam board and poke the screws into it as you remove them. This makes it easy to remember which screw came from where.
