What if I install these LED bulbs and they flicker or report errors?

Since LED conversion kits use less power than halogen or HID bulbs, if your vehicle is equipped with a CANbus system, there may be a problem because it may think your lights are malfunctioning and cause them not to work properly. At this point, you can solve the problem by adding a plug and play bulb decoder. (few extremely sensitive vehicles can have this problem)

Can I replace an bulb with an LED?

All vehicles fitted with halogen headlight bulbs from the factory are suitable for LED conversion. The main advantage is a massive increase in road illumination and therefore improved safety when driving at night.

Which direction do LED bulbs go?

When you replace a halogen bulb with an LED bulb, it should work the same way as a halogen bulb. Place the LED bulb with the center tab facing up and the LED chip pointing horizontally left and right. If the bulb is installed tilted or upside down, you will get a strange and really bad beam pattern.

What is an LED?

An LED, or Light Emitting Diode, is a source of light used in various applications. When a suitable voltage is applied to its leads, it emits light through a process called "electroluminescence," which we integrate into our products.

How do I determine the brightness of LED bulbs?

In the automotive industry, LED bulb brightness is often measured in lumens (luminous flux), which represents the amount of visible light to the human eye. Check the lumen rating to assess the total visible light output of the LED lamp.

What is color temperature, and how do I match headlamps with fog lights?

Color temperature refers to the light's color, measured in kelvins (K). It's essential to consider color temperature when purchasing LED lamps to match them with your existing lights for a consistent look.

Which bulb size should I use?

Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual or the original bulb for the correct bulb size. Comparing the factory bulb to our product is a reliable method.

What color LED bulb should I use?

Choose LED bulb colors that comply with road safety laws. Refer to the part number on the bulb, your vehicle's manual, or consider the lens color for compatibility.
