Brighter Plates at Night – Thanks to 18 SMD LEDs and 6000K xenon white
Each lamp contains 18 SMD LEDs arranged to deliver even illumination across the registration plate, tuned to a 6000K colour temperature for a clean white output. The LED array produces a focused beam rather than scattered light, improving legibility.
Sharper, more readable plates under street lighting and on dark roads, improving safety and enforcement compliance. Night-time reversing and manoeuvring feel more confident due to clearer rear illumination.
Quick, No-Fuss Fitment – With plug-and-play direct replacement for OEM part numbers
The connector matches OEM wiring and replaces several factory part numbers (3B5943021A/B/E and 3B5998026) without coding or modifications. A straightforward splice-free connection preserves original vehicle wiring.
Swap-out installation avoids workshop coding, so many owners complete the upgrade themselves in minutes. Suitable for routine DIY replacements and reduces time off the road.
Weatherproof Reliability – With a precision-moulded rubber gasket and waterproof construction
A precision-moulded rubber gasket seals the housing against moisture ingress while durable materials are rated for long operational life. Assembly and sealing techniques target longevity in wet and salty conditions.
Resistant to rain and typical road spray, maintaining consistent illumination across seasons. Reduced corrosion risk means fewer returns and less frequent replacements over time.
