FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Which wiring kit (7- or 13-pin) fits?
A 7-pin kit is sufficient for standard lighting such as tail, brake and indicator lights. For additional functions like reverse lights or permanent power, a 13-pin kit is recommended.

Is coding or activation required?
Yes, depending on trim level, coding may be necessary so that the vehicle’s control units correctly recognise added signals.

Can I install the wiring kit myself?
Yes, with basic knowledge of vehicle electrics and proper tools installation is possible. If unsure or if the vehicle has complex equipment, professional installation is advisable.

Is the wiring kit weatherproof and durable?
Yes, our wiring kits are built to last. Weather-resistant connectors and materials protect against moisture, corrosion and environmental wear.

What should I do if warning messages or electrical faults appear?
Errors often occur due to incorrect wiring or incompatible components. A properly installed wiring kit, possibly augmented with relay or module, usually resolves these issues and ensures reliable operation.
