FAQs

What does 'FF' stand for in FF light design?

'FF' stands for Free-Form, indicating a reflector design that uses complex surfaces to optimize light distribution and reduce glare.

Is this headlight suitable for right-hand traffic (e.g., USA)?

No, this headlight is approved for left-hand traffic and European standards, meaning it is designed for countries where traffic drives on the right side of the road.

What types of bulbs are used in this headlight?

This headlight uses H7 bulbs for the low and high beams, a W5W for the position light, and a WY21W for the indicator (turn signal).

Does the headlight come with all necessary bulbs?

Yes, the headlight includes bulbs for all its functions.

Can I install this headlight myself?

While it is possible for experienced individuals, installation requires qualified personnel due to the need for precise alignment and electrical connections.

What is the purpose of the headlamp levelling motor?

The headlamp levelling motor allows you to adjust the vertical aim of the headlight beam. This is important for compensating for vehicle load (e.g., passengers, cargo) and ensuring the beam is directed correctly onto the road, improving visibility and preventing dazzling oncoming drivers.

How do I know if this part fits my vehicle?

You should use the 'make model tool' available to check compatibility. If you are still unsure, contacting customer support for fitment assistance is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Headlight not illuminating

Ensure the bulb is correctly seated and not burnt out. Check the electrical connections to the headlight for damage or corrosion. Verify that the vehicle's fuse for the headlight circuit is intact.

Headlamp leveling system not working

Check the electrical connection to the leveling motor. If the issue persists, the motor may need replacement, which should be done by a qualified technician.

Indicator light not functioning

Confirm the WY21W bulb is correctly installed and functional. Check the vehicle's indicator flasher unit and wiring for any faults.

Poor light beam pattern

Ensure the headlight is correctly aimed. Use the headlamp leveling motor to adjust if necessary. Check the lens for dirt or damage that may be obstructing the beam.
