Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this light be used on 24V systems?

This specific model (2DA 980 887-311) is designed for 12V operation. Using it on a 24V system may cause damage to the LEDs.

Is the light submersible?

The IP5K9K rating confirms it is highly resistant to high-pressure cleaning and dust, though it is not specifically rated for continuous underwater submersion.

What is the cable length included?

The unit comes with a 2,500mm (2.5 meter) cable.

Does it come with mounting hardware?

The lamp includes the housing and the cable; specific mounting screws or brackets may vary depending on the surface material of your vehicle.

What does ECE R7 compliance mean?

It means the lamp meets the European Economic Commission standards for the technical requirements of front and rear position lamps and stop lamps.

Troubleshooting

Light does not activate when braking

Check the splice connection for proper contact and ensure the fuse for the auxiliary brake circuit has not blown.

LEDs flickering intermittently

Verify the ground connection is secure and free of corrosion, as loose grounds are the most common cause of LED flickering.

Moisture inside the housing

Inspect the cable entry point to ensure it was properly sealed during installation; if the seal was compromised, re-apply marine-grade silicone sealant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-grade durability with IP5K9K protection
  • Versatile orientation for different vehicle profiles
  • Reliable OE-quality manufacturing
  • Long, 2.5-meter cable included for ease of routing

Cons

  • Requires hardwiring as it comes with open cable ends
  • Professional installation recommended for optimal seal and electrical safety
  • Compatibility requires manual verification with specific vehicle wiring systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, verify that your vehicle's auxiliary lighting circuit supports a 12V connection. Since the product features open cable ends, you will need heat-shrink tubing and appropriate crimp connectors or solder to secure the connection.

  1. Check Compatibility: Confirm that the mounting surface is flat and can accommodate the dimensions of the light housing.
  2. Positioning: Determine if horizontal or vertical mounting is better for your specific application.
  3. Wiring: Splice into the existing brake light signal wire. Use waterproof heat-shrink butt connectors to maintain the integrity of the connection.
  4. Care: Clean the lens periodically using a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive brushes or chemical solvents that could cloud the high-impact plastic housing.
