What is ECE?

United Nations Economic Commision for Europe.

What is the Reference Number?

The reference number is a value that is related to the high beam headlight which is regulated in ECE R112. Every certified high beam headlight has a reference number marked on it either left or right to the E-mark sign. According to ECE R112 the sum of all reference numbers of high beam headlights attached to the car must not exceed a total of 100.

What is an E-Mark?

An E-Mark has to be put on a product if it fullfills at least one category of the ECE regulation. Example and explanation:

• H: Halogen/LED
• D: Xenon
• C: Low beam
• R: High beam
• PL: Plastic lens
• 2439: Approval number
• Arrow left right: left- and right-hand driving
• 30: Reference number
• E4: Granted approval in Netherlands

Can I install the driving light by myself?

The driving ligths can be installed by a technically skilled person. We recommend that people with no training have the installation done by a service centre.

My driving light mist up on the inside. Is this normal and what can I do to prevent it?

Since moisture can get into driving lights while driving in rain or when using a high-pressure jet at a car wash, slight misting of the driving lights is not considered to be a quality defect. The driving lights may also mist up during transitional weather. This should normally disappear after a short time by circulating air. A frequent cause of misted car lights is incorrect use of high-pressure jets while washing the car. We therefore recommend never directing the water jet directly at a driving light and keeping a distance of at least 30 cm from the car.

Do I have to consider special mounting regulations?

According to ECE regulations products need to be installed pairwise (national legislation may differ). There are no special mounting regulations on width and heigth, for pure high beam products. For products with position light, special mounting regulations apply (see user manual).

Can I wire the driving light directly to the corresponding light function?

The driving lights are fully ECE compliant and can therefore be directly wired to the corresponding light function.

Are the driving lights covered by any EMC test?

Yes, the driving lights are covered by ECE R10.

Can I install the working light by myself?

The working ligths can be installed by a technically skilled person. We recommend that people with no training have the conversion done by a service centre.

My working light mist up on the inside. Is this normal and what can I do to prevent it?

Since moisture can get into working lights while driving in rain or when using a high-pressure jet at a car wash, slight misting of the working lights is not considered to be a quality defect. The working lights may also mist up during transitional weather. This should normally disappear after a short time by circulating air. A frequent cause of misted car lights is incorrect use of high-pressure jets while washing the car. We therefore recommend never directing the water jet directly at a working light and keeping a distance of at least 30 cm from the car.

Do I have to consider special mounting regulations?

No special mounting regulations apply.

How do I have to wire the working lights?

The working lights need to be installed with a separate switch, they must not be directly wired to a light function of the car.

Are the working lights covered by any EMC test?

Yes, the working lights are covered by ECE R10.

What are possible applications for LED retrofits?

Interior:

• Dome light
• Reading light
• Dashboard light
• Glove box light
• Foot area light
• Trunk light

Exterior (off-road only):

• Position light
• Turn indicator
• Daytime Running Light
• Fog Light
• Door entry light
• Tail light
• Brake Light
• License plate light

Why are exterior applications only allowed as off-road?

Even though the performance of high quality retrofits is very close to the one of traditional lamps, the products do not have an ECE certification which is mandatory for exterior applications. The reason for the non existing approval is the difference in construction in comparison to existing incandescent light sources. Therefore the installation and usage of products without ECE certification leads to an expiration of the operating license and the insurance coverage.

Together with other members of the lighting industry, OSRAM is continuously working to achieve an adaption of the current ECE regulation in order to be able to offer street legal products.

The bordcomputer displays an error message about a broken lamp even though it works?

Some cars have a so-called "outage detection system" for light sources. This system checks the function of the lights in the form of electric impulses. As LEDs have a lower power consumption than conventional lamps, the outage detection system could report them as “defect”.

In case that you notice this error in your vehicle, we recommend the use of OSRAM LEDriving Canbus Control Unit.

How can I install a LED retrofit?

The base of all OSRAM LED retrofits is conform to EC standards. Therefore the old lamp simply has to be replaced by the LED retrofit. Please be aware that LED retrofits can be used for interior applications only. In exterior applications they may be used off-road only.

Which color should be used for which application?

For exterior applications, customers are required to use red LEDriving Retrofit behind red or clear lenses, such as braking light. LEDriving Retrofits in yellow color are used in terms of exterior application behind yellow or clear lenses such as turn indicators. Similar for LEDriving Retrofits in cool white, they can be used for clear lenses, e.g. fog lamp.

Note: OFF-ROAD only when used in an exterior application. These products do not have ECE approval. This means that they cannot be fitted in exterior lights if the vehicle is to be used on public roads.

For interior applications, you are free to choose the color.
