Services

Lighting and DRL Compliance

ECE headlamps, amber daytime running lamps for the EU and side-marker lamps for North America.

The problem it solves

A vehicle built to Chinese GB lighting standards will fail a European or North American inspection on daytime running lamp colour, side-marker provision and headlamp beam pattern — often at the port, after the freight has been paid.

How we handle it

Lighting is corrected before the unit leaves Shanghai: ECE-compliant headlamps, amber DRLs where the EU requires them, side-marker lamps for North America and daytime-running circuit rewiring where the loom demands it.

What is included

01

ECE headlamp specification

Beam pattern and headlamp units brought to ECE requirement for European and ECE-aligned inspection regimes.

02

Amber DRL for the EU

Daytime running lamp colour corrected where the destination standard differs from the GB-standard build.

03

North American side markers

Side-marker lamps fitted where the destination requires them on a vehicle that left the factory without.

04

Circuit rewiring

Daytime-running circuits rewired where the vehicle's loom does not support the destination configuration as delivered.

Questions

The things buyers ask first

Why not fix the lighting after arrival?

Because inspection happens before registration. A unit that fails on lighting sits at the port accruing storage while parts are sourced locally at retail prices. Correcting it in Shanghai costs a fraction and does not delay the sale.

Does this work void the manufacturer warranty?

China-issued manufacturer warranties are valid in China only, so the question is generally academic for an exported unit. Destination-market coverage is discussed case by case during quoting.

Which markets need this work?

European and ECE-aligned markets almost always; North America for side markers; GCC and several African and Asian markets accept the GB-standard build. We confirm per destination.
