Lazer Lamps FAQ

High beams must be installed on the vehicle in pairs, either two or four. High beams require ECE approval, meaning they must have a small "E" marking on the headlamp. If a high beam has this marking, it is approved for road use and does not require registration or inspection at the TÜV (technical inspection association). An exception is made for lamps with a double "E" marking, which count as two headlamps in one housing and can, therefore, be centrally mounted and used as a single high beam. Headlamps without an "E" marking are solely work lights and may only be used off-road with a separate switch.

Each high beam has a reference number, which can be found next to the E-marking. The combined reference numbers of all installed high beams must not exceed a total of 100.

Headlights with an E-Boost function are an ideal solution for achieving maximum light both on and off the road. The E-Boost function can be activated directly on the headlight using a small magnet. When the magnet is in place, the headlight operates at its full potential; without the magnet, it functions as a road-approved high beam. You can see the difference in brightness in the product images for each headlight.

Basically, you need to check if a 12V signal is sent to the headlights when they are turned on—this is usually the case with xenon or LED headlights. If so, you can use a contactless reader to tap into the signal there, connecting it to the wiring harness in the grille to control the Lazer Lamps through the vehicle’s high-beam circuit. You can draw power itself from the vehicle battery, for instance.

In this video, Ben, the CEO and founder of Lazer, explains how it all works.

The appropriate wiring harness for each lamp is linked in the description under each product. If you’d like an overview of all available wiring harnesses, you can find a complete list here: Lazer Lamps Wiring Harnesses
