Specification Overview & Compatibility

Always check your vehicle handbook or the existing lamp base and spec before purchasing. Many LED retrofits are designed to fit standard housings but differ in wattage and brightness-select for correct fit and compliance with South African road regulations where required.

Selecting the Right Automotive Lamp: Practical Guide

• Voltage: Most passenger vehicles use 12V lamps, while trucks and commercial vehicles may use 24V-confirm before ordering.
• Base type: Match the base (e.g., H4, BA15s, T10) to your socket for proper fit.
• Wattage: Use manufacturer-recommended wattage to avoid excess heat or low light output.
• Light type: Choose halogen for OEM replacement or LED for lower power draw and longer life (note: LED retrofits may require resistors/canbus adapters to prevent warnings).
• Application: Indicator/brake lamps should balance brightness and quick response; interior/panel lamps can utilise white or coloured LEDs for modern presentation.
