LA FAQ : Toutes vos questions !

Can I have my order delivered to another address?

You can indicate a delivery address different from your billing address.

 

You can also use this function to have your order delivered to your workplace. The “My personal information”

section of your customer area allows you to manage a set of different delivery addresses. You will then just have to choose the one that suits you when placing the order.

 

If you are already a customer, all you need to do is identify yourself so that the fields are filled automatically. By default, the delivery address is that of the last order but you can choose to be delivered to another address by checking "I would like to be delivered to another address". You can then select a delivery address already registered in your customer account or manually enter the address to which you wish to be delivered.

I am a resident of a country in the EU, how am I billed?

Since July 1, 2021, an EU resident is subject to VAT in his country (Ex: for Italy, the customer is charged Italian VAT at the time of purchase). The prices indicated, once registered with its real address, are displayed with the VAT of the recipient's country.

 

The customer does not pay any additional VAT or customs duty upon receipt.

Do you deliver to my home?

Our company delivers worldwide thanks to its network of partner carriers.

The delivery of my package is late, what can I do?

When you order you will receive an email with the tracking of your package, you can also find this information on your online account. This will allow you to locate your order.

 

If this information is not complete enough or incorrect, we invite you to contact the carrier directly.

 

In the event of a proven delay, we will open a file with the carrier to resolve this delay.

My LED fog light pack does not light up?

This phenomenon is quite common when first installing an LED fog light pack. Mainly with H8, H11, HB3 or HB4 bulbs.

When you plug in the Plug&Play LED pack using the original coding, the bulbs may not light up, despite the pack's resistor heating up.

In reality, there is a very good chance (99.99% of cases) that the bulbs in the pack are functional but that it is a matter of the wiring with the car.

Explanations: 

Our LED bulbs require respecting the direction of polarities (+) and (-) of the European standard for these bases. It turns out that manufacturers, when assembling cars at the factory, do not pay attention to this direction. In fact, a halogen bulb does not need a particular direction to light up, the filament works in both directions.

Solution :

To be able to operate your pack in these circumstances you must therefore reverse the direction of the cables which reach the bulb.

  • Either by reversing the resistor terminal when possible, this is the case for certain series of sockets. By not taking into account the basic keying of the support

  • Either by directly reversing the wires in the terminal or on the harness (cut and solder in the other direction - Wago, Quick Terminal, etc...).
I have fog in the headlights, what should I do?

Afraid of condensation in the headlights?

Headlights fog up for the same reason windows fog up: everyone knows what condensation is, and no one cares when it's there! Windows fog up when the temperature outside is lower than inside, usually during the coldest and most humid times of the year. The same thing happens for the headlights: due to the weather conditions, a layer of fog forms inside the optics, which is responsible for the fogging. To eliminate it, it is unfortunately not enough to turn on the heating or the air conditioning, as is done for the windows.
To tell the truth, there is a similar system for the headlights which however is not as efficient. Because the heat emitted by the headlight bulbs has a similar demisting effect to hot air from a fan, rolling with the headlights on helps prevent condensation buildup. However, modern light sources generate less heat than halogen and incandescent lamps: indeed, xenon headlights tend to fog up more than headlights that use halogen lamps. 
Paradoxically, it is the most advanced headlights - those with LEDs - that are most affected by this phenomenon, since modern light sources do not emit heat.


Technical solutions to condensation

Designers have been studying this problem for a long time, aggravated by the fact that the headlights grow larger and, as a result, contain more air. When the car is moving, the air heats up due to the heating of the headlights and the engine. Almost all modern headlights are equipped with a ventilation system that prevents pressure buildup by moving hot air, and is designed to block the ingress of water. However, according to the laws of physics, air is drawn in from the outside when it has cooled inside. If, due to atmospheric conditions, the outside air is humid, condensation will form inside the headlight.
The fog disappears when the headlights are on; designers attempt to speed up the process by diverting waste heat from the lamps or power supply to the headlamp shell. Despite efforts, hot air often does not reach the farthest points of the envelope, which therefore remain misted for longer. The complete demisting of the optics depends on the atmospheric conditions and the humidity level. If the vehicle is stationary, it takes longer and a higher outside temperature for the condensation to disappear.
Daytime running lights often make the situation worse. As they generally use LED sources, these lights generate much less heat than low beams and are installed as a separate unit. Therefore, if you want to avoid fogging, in autumn and winter it is best to drive with the dipped headlights on and the daytime running lights off, and not the other way around.

_______________________________________________________

1. What causes fogging? 

All modern headlights are vented through small holes at the top and bottom. Ideally, they allow a slight flow of air through the enclosure. If there were no ventilation, the condensation could never go away. However, this airflow can also allow moisture to enter the headlight. And then, the same thing happens for the glass of the headlight as for the windows of a car when it is cold outside and hot inside. You get a thin film of condensation. 

2. Is fogging really bad? 

No. Like we said, it's like your windows are fogging up. And likewise, it goes away on its own in most cases. The only difference is that inside the car you can turn on a fan to quickly remove the condensation, while there is no fan in the headlight, except in those equipped with LEDs. There is, however, a heat source that can speed up the drying process, and that is the headlamp. So if you drive with your lights on, you'll have fewer fogging issues. Xenon lamps produce less heat than halogen lamps, so it will take a little longer for condensation to clear from xenon headlights. 


Moisture inside headlights is quite common. A few tips help keep you in control. 

3. Is fogging a good reason to file a complaint? 

No. The same way you wouldn't make an official complaint about fogged up windows. Once the condensation clears, everything will return to normal and there will simply have been a short time when your headlights haven't been at their best. 

4. Does fogging have any adverse effects on light? 

This would only be the case if the condensation extended over the part of the lens through which the light from the projector is emitted. This would then lead to an uneven distribution of light, leading to glare for oncoming drivers. Generally speaking, however, condensation only affects those parts of the lens which are outside the light emitting area. Condensation especially likes to collect at the bottom in the sharp corners that designers are so fond of creating. Ventilation has a tough job reaching these places. That's why you can even see water droplets there. 


A hair dryer can help remove stubborn deposits from the headlights.

5. What can I do to prevent fogging? 

It is not possible to prevent it completely. In fact, most automakers say so precisely. Wet summer days and cold winter days provide ideal conditions for this phenomenon that so many car owners find unappealing. But there are several ways to minimize the risk. Most likely to succeed is driving with your lights on all the time. If fogging persists, the tips we have already mentioned will help speed up the drying process. 

6. Condensation will not disappear. Can I do something? 

Sometimes, and in some cars, it can take a while. If it's really bad, you can use a hair dryer. Obviously, you have to be careful how you use it. Do not point it at plastic components, as you may damage them. Ideally, it will be enough to heat the headlight from the outside, but it will be faster if you can direct the hot air to the headlight from the engine compartment. To do this, remove the cover as if you were about to replace a lamp. Some shops have even started using silica pads to dry the condensation. You've probably seen them in the packaging of electronic items. They can only be used once and do not have to be kept permanently in the lighthouse. A few hours with the car stationary should suffice. However, do not put silica pads in the reflectors, as they can easily get stuck there. 

7. Can I improve the ventilation of the headlights, for example by making more holes or leaving the cover behind? 

No. In most cases, this would only make the problem worse as the airflow through the enclosure would be compromised. There would also be a much greater risk of dirt getting into the headlights. And dirt doesn't go away on its own. There are headlights that aren't exactly well designed, and others that are installed with less than optimal ventilation. This may be why some manufacturers have issued instructions on how to install additional tubes to improve air exchange. Changes to ventilation holes also fall into this category. It is best to ask your official dealer. 

8. Should I try to open the headlight to remove the moisture? 

No way! The risk of breaking something far outweighs the minor irritation of headlights not looking their best. And anyway, the adhesive between the lens and the closure is really strong. You may have come across the “oven trick”. This damages internal components and can warp the case. 

9. I washed the engine. Now there are gray spots in the headlights. 

These are residues of the detergent used. The high-powered jets from the car wash forced some of it into the headlights. Unlike pure water which has condensed due to humidity in the air (i.e. fogging), detergent deposits will not disappear on their own. Never point a jet of water directly at a headlight. Not even from the outside.

10. There's “a few inches of water in my headlights. 

It's not fog. In most cases, this is caused by a small crack or a broken seal. In a few cases, it may be because a hole is clogged. There are several reasons for this. Insects were found in the holes. And dirt is a common cause. Shop mechanics have even come across some clever people who have plugged the holes with sealant, preventing water from flowing out. 

When it comes to fogging and moisture in headlights, you can do more harm than good. So our advice is to ignore it in the first place.

Are your xenon kits approved on public roads?

Several parameters must be taken into account to answer.

 

The power of an approved original xenon does not exceed 35W . Only 35W kits can therefore claim to be authorized on public roads.

 

In addition, the light output of a xenon being greater than 2,000 Lumens, it is necessary to comply with the European directive "Vehicle Regulation Installation of lighting and light-signalling devices   E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.1/Add.47/Rev. 9".

 

Concretely, the installation of a xenon must be systematically accompanied by a high-pressure cleaning system for the optics and an automatic correction system for the height of the light beam.

 

We provide this type of product in order to comply with the standards:

https://www.france-xenon.com/en/26-certification

 

 

The approved color temperature limit is 6000°K. Only the 4300°K and 6000°K kits are therefore authorized on the road.

 

Fitting a xenon kit must always be accompanied by a new adjustment of the vehicle's light beam using a regulator.

As it stands, without fitting the original leveling correction system and headlight washer, xenon kits are not authorized on public roads. 25W xenon kits are no exception to this rule.

There is an LED solution which can be approved in certain cases.

Are your products sold individually or in pairs?

For products excluding xenon, LED or HOD plasma bulbs, the prices indicated are per unit.

 

HOD LED, Xenon and Plasma bulbs are most often sold in pairs at a more attractive price than purchasing individually.

 

To find out if your product is sold in pairs, it's simple if the product title is like this:

2x T10 bulbs This is a pair

1x T10 bulb This is a single product

Are the LED packs offered on the site error-proof?

YES . We only sell specific LED packs (Pack by brand...) without errors on the dashboard. It would not be serious to offer packs that could cause an ODB error on the vehicle.

I did not receive the correct resistance compared to the one ordered?

Be careful not to confuse the inscriptions on resistance and what they really represent.

 
 
The “W” written on the resistor does not correspond to the power consumed but to the maximum power admissible by the metallic resistor .
 
 
For example, a 25W resistor on 12V ("10R") can consume 25W but if we switch this same resistor to 24V it will consume 50W. We always oversize this value so that the metal part does not heat up too much (for example 50W10R for a consumption of ).
 
 
These are the “R”s that you need to look at to know the resistance of your bulb and thus its consumption.
 
For 5W: 50W 60R
For 10W: 50W 30R
For 25W: 50W 10R
For 50W: 50W 6R  or 100W 6R
 
 
Please check directly on your resistance.
How are anti-error resistors connected?

Connecting the external error-proof resistors that we sell is extremely simple. You do not need any special knowledge to carry out the assembly.

 

Material required: 1x flat pliers

 

Simply attach the resistor to the 2 wires that come to your bulb as shown in the photo below.

I bought a CANBUS anti-error xenon kit for my BMW but I still get an error?

Do you have a xenon kit and the bulbs are flashing and/or you have an error message on your dashboard?

 

BMW vehicles are problematic with the installation of a xenon kit.

These have a burnt out bulb search system that is truly different from other brands, so a different system is needed to fool the on-board computer.

This is why you absolutely need to add an additional module to any kit you buy.

 

These modules are available here:

https://www.france-xenon.com/en/20-warning-canceller-xenon-12vdc

 

 

In addition to removing the ODB error from your vehicle, these modules will protect your vehicle against any voltage return in the event of damage to one of your ballasts.

 

WARNING : Do not install a 55W or more xenon kit on a BMW after 2005, you risk destroying your vehicle's on-board computer. Only 35W kits are safe for your vehicle.

Which xenon kit should I buy for my car? are they error proof?

The choice of xenon kit model is essential. 

 

Only 35W kits are discussed here because they are the only ones approved on public roads.

 

We have two ranges of so-called “CANBUS” xenon kits. That is to say, error-free kit on the dashboard (ODB). These ranges both have the same characteristics such as FDR+ rapid ignition... .

 

The first is the SLIM CANBUS PRO kit

ballast CANBUS PRO xenon France high-end xenon

 

It is an anti-error xenon kit for most vehicles up to today.

 

The second is the CANBUS PRO LUXE XPU kit

 ballast CANBUS PRO xenon France high-end xenon

 

As the name suggests, this kit is specially designed for high-end vehicles. It avoids the ODB problems common with other kits.

 

VAG group vehicles are particularly sensitive (Example of windshield wiper motors that burn out, or ODB HS).

 

This LUXE XPU kit is made for these vehicles.

 

In the list of vehicles which MANDATORY require this kit:

Audi A3

Volkswagen Golf 6 / Scirocco

Seat Ibiza 6J and after

Seat Leon 2 and after

Peugeot 207

Peugeot 407

Citroën DS3, DS4 & DS5

 

Etc... Non-exhaustive list.

 

____________________________

 

The particular case of BMW vehicles is also problematic.

These vehicles have a bulb search system that is truly different from other brands.

This is why you absolutely need to add an additional module to any kit you buy.

 

These modules are available here:

Xenon kit 4300°K, 6000°K, 8000°K.... What is the difference?

Kelvin, abbreviated °K, correspond to the color temperature of the light beam.

 

The original xenon is 4300°K. Blue reflections are generally given by the vehicle lens.

 

The higher you go in Kelvin, the bluer your beam will become.

 

The higher you go in the Kelvin, the less detail you will see on the road (impression of less power).

 

Only 4300°K and 6000°K are approved on public roads.

 

Below you will find the different color temperatures (35W kit) taken from the same lens (BMW Series 3 E90):

 

xenon kit 4300K ??France xenon

xenon kit 6000K France xenon

xenon kit 8000K France xenon

xenon kit 10000K France xenon

xenon kit 15000K France xenon

xenon kit 30000K France xenon

 

We advise you to take 4300°K or 6000°K maximum. Beyond that you lose brightness.

Which bulb model(s) should I choose for my lights, night lights, fog lights or other?

The best solution to find out which bulb you need is to look directly in your vehicle's user manual.

In some cases, the reference does not appear in this manual, we therefore suggest that you turn to the database here:

https://www.france-xenon.com/en/content/28-know-your-bulb-thanks-to-the-osram-and-philips-search-engines

 

This database is provided for information purposes only. The safest thing is to have your choice checked by a specialist in case of doubt.

 

Once the bulb model has been determined, you will find several types of bulb that can replace your original product:

 

1) FRANCE-XENON 35W conversion kits (Approved under conditions, see FAQ ). It greatly improves driving pleasure. You see clearer, further.

 

2) HOD FRANCE-XENON plasma bulbs . Filled with xenon gas, this hybrid bulb provides a white rendering of 4300°K. Please note that the light range of this type of bulb is not as great as when installing a xenon kit.

 

3) LED bulbs . This type of bulb should be reserved exclusively for the "style" of your vehicle but should not be used on public roads on a daily basis. The light range of this type of product (Outside the HeadLight Range) does not allow driving at night.

My vehicle has an OBC which searches for burnt out bulbs, can I install LEDs?

In most cases, we find THE viable and risk-free solution for your vehicle.

 

We advise you to fit anti-error bulbs (CANBUS) ONLY  if your vehicle requires an anti-error bulb. In other cases, we advise you to use standard bulbs without error proofing.

 

For bulbs which originally consume less than 6 Watts (W5W, T4W, H6W, etc.):

We all offer a range of W5W, T4W, H6W bulbs which have been proven and which allow you to eliminate the ODB error in 99% of cases.

 

For bulbs which originally consume more than 6 Watts (P21W, P27W, H1, H7, H11, etc.):

We do not offer a product with integrated ODB resistor. It is IMPOSSIBLE to dissipate the Watts (for example 55W for an H7 bulb) necessary for the overconsumption of the resistors. This type of product also exists on the internet but is truly dangerous and only lasts a few days/weeks.

 

However, we can offer you reliable ANTI-ERROR solutions for these bulbs.

 

- They already exist turnkey for certain models such as the H11:

https://www.france-xenon.com/en/4718-h11-high-power-led

 

- Or are offered by our customer service by adding a ceramic resistor of power equivalent to your original bulb outside the harness. This solution is the simplest to clear errors on your ODB. You will find these resistors (individually) here:

I'm hesitating between an H4-3 xenon kit and an H4-3 CANBUS xenon kit. Which one do I need?
1°) Before purchasing the xenon kit, you must carry out a simple procedure, simply disconnect one of your two H4 halogen bulbs:
 
  • if the second bulb works without problem and without error message you can take any kit from our range.
 
 
  • if you have an error message on the dashboard or if you notice a malfunction in the second bulb, you need this type of kit (CANBUS) :
 
 

 
 
2°) If you have already purchased your xenon kit and you notice a malfunction or an error message on the dashboard:
 
 
You have to carry out a very simple procedure in order to recognize the type of box you need. In fact, on the H4 socket of your car which is not connected to a kit, try to temporarily replace an H4 bulb to see if the error on the dashboard disappears.
 
 
  • If the latter disappears, you need this type of box:

  • If the message does not clear with the previous manipulation, you need this type of box:
