What is retrofitting and how to choose it?

Modernization is synonymous with modernization, improvement and continuous modernization. With regard to car interior lighting, the lamps are said to have low energy consumption compared to traditional incandescent lamps and are characterized by much better light quality.

Should you use a retrofit?

Retrofits are strong and emit a uniform non-selective light that dazzles the driver. They also have a significantly longer life span of up to 5000 hours of operation, while at the same time consuming 80% less energy than conventional light bulbs.

For OSRAM upgrades, there is also a solution that simplifies their replacement - an intuitive plug & play system. It is also worth adding that most of the modifications available on the market are resistant to shock and vibration, which makes them suitable for SUVs.

Is it worth replacing?

Simply put, upgrading is nothing more than replacing LEDs. Recently, they are gaining popularity due to the fact that they shine much better than popular light bulbs. In addition, due to the fact that their production uses shapes and bases such as E27, E14, ES111 or AR111 lamps, they can be used directly in place of traditional lamps.

What do you need to know before buying?

From the entire range, buyers can choose between two types of lamps - premium and standard. On the one hand, we have very robust lamps with a specially designed structure that provide uniform light without visible single points of light. The used metal radiator increases their thermal resistance, and the lamps additionally fit into the luminaire, becoming almost invisible against the background of the reflector reflector. The manufacturer provides a 5-year warranty for premium lines and 3 years for an affordable family.

Upgrading just one color?

The retrofits are installed inside the vehicle, so there are no legal acts associated with them when it comes to the color of the light. This is why some tuning lamp companies create product lines in different colors so that the customer can choose the shade of light according to their needs. One such company is OSRAM, which offers 4 colors of LED replacements for indoor lighting:

LEDriving Warm White - OSRAM modifications with a color temperature of 4000K, the light emitted by them has a warm white color,

LEDriving Amber are OSRAM car interior lamps with a color temperature of 2000K. Their light is warm and yellow.

LEDriving Ice Blue - These modifications have a color temperature of 6800K and therefore emit blue light.

LEDriving Cool White - lamps with a color temperature of 6000K. They emit cold white light.

Only inside?

Retrofits are allowed to be used only in passenger cars. However, there is a way out! Namely, when we drive on non-public roads, it is possible to install retrofitting for road lighting. This mainly applies to off-road trips. It is prohibited on public roads as these lamps do not comply with the permit. Incorrect use of LED lamps on public roads can lead to cancellation of vehicle approval and loss of insurance coverage.
