Key Features to Consider When Buying Automotive Lamps

• Voltage: 12V for passenger vehicles, 24V for trucks and buses - ensure correct voltage match.
• Base/Socke Type: H4, H7, T10, BA15s, W5W, and more - match to your vehicle fitting.
• Lumens Output: Headlight and upgrade bulbs are measured in lumens - check manufacturer datasheets.
• Homologation: Check if the lamp is suited to road use; some high-output or LED variants are intended for off-road/rally only.
• Colour Temperature: LEDs and halogen bulbs vary - from warm white to cool blue (about 2700K-6000K).

How to Choose the Right Lamp: Selection Guidance

Start by checking your owner's manual or the markings on your existing lamp for voltage, wattage, lamp code, and pin configuration. For upgrades or replacements, consider:

• Headlights: Halogen (H1/H4/H7) for standard replacement, or LED upgrades (verify beam pattern and fit).
• Indicators & Tail Lights: Bayonet or wedge bulbs (P21W, R5W, T10) - ensure correct physical fit.
• Panel & Interior: Small wedge or festoon lamps for dashboards, map lights, or reading lamps.

Typical Applications & Example Use Cases

Troubleshooting & Practical Buying Tips in SA

• Bulb not lighting? Check fuse and socket corrosion; test lamp separately before installation.
• LED upgrade causing errors? Modern vehicles may require CANbus-compatible lamps or external load resistors to avoid "bulb failure" warnings.
• Fit issues? Compare base design closely. Some imported vehicles use region-specific bulbs - bring the old lamp to a branch if unsure.
• Bulk procurement? Account and institutional buyers can request batch pricing and VAT-compliant invoicing from Communica.
