E-Mark & EU Legality — Straightforward
All three styles above are E-mark (ECE) certified. You’ll find the E-mark on the housing. For best results with inspections, install carefully, check panel gaps and seals, and use as intended for your tuning project and local expectations. For a deeper dive into markings, see our E-mark guide.
Install & Troubleshooting Tips
Plug-and-Play Install (all styles)
- Remove OE lamps; transfer clips/grommets if needed.
- Connect OE multi-pin plugs and mount securely at factory points.
- Function check: running, brake, reverse, and turn (sequential where applicable).
- Adjust panel gaps; finalize reassembly.
No coding is typically required on stock vehicles. If a bulb-check appears, an inline decoder usually resolves it. See CANBUS & LED errors.
Best Practices
- Protect seals/vents from pressure washers; seat foam gaskets evenly.
- For CSL sequential: toggle the small rear plug to enable/disable sequential indicators.
- Brief misting can occur with temperature swings; it should clear with operation. Persistent pooling? Contact support.
- Need aiming tips for the front headlights? Use our headlight aiming guide.
