FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Which wiring kit (7- or 13-pin) should I choose?
A 7-pin kit is sufficient for basic lighting. For additional features like reverse light or permanent power supply, a 13-pin kit is recommended.

Is coding required after installation?
Some Carens III models do require coding, especially if new functions are added that interact with the vehicle electronics.

Can I install the wiring kit myself?
Yes, with basic auto electrical knowledge. For complex electronics or if warnings appear, professional installation is advisable.

Is the wiring kit weatherproof and durable?
Yes, our kits are weather-resistant and designed for long-term use. Regular checks are recommended after heavy exposure to dirt or moisture.

What if warnings like “Check lights” or “Electrical fault” appear?
These are often caused by incorrect wiring, missing resistors, or incompatibility. Adding a relay or control module usually resolves the issue.
