1st step
Check vehicle type and headlight approval number
Go to the compatibility list and see if your vehicle is listed. Compare the headlight approval number in the list with that on your car's headlights. It starts with an "E" and one or two digit(s) in a circle and then continues with a 4 or 5 digit sequence. You can also find out in the vehicle list whether you need the LEDriving ADAPTER and/or two LEDriving CANBUS for installation. Attention: Only the combination of OSRAM NIGHT BREAKER LED bulbs in connection with the official OSRAM accessories - LEDriving ADAPTER and LEDriving SMART CANBUS (where required) - is permitted.

To be sure that you have bought an original OSRAM LED product, OSRAM offers its customers the so-called Trust Program. This makes it possible to identify counterfeits. Further details can be found here: The OSRAM Trust Program
The design of the OSRAM NIGHT BREAKER LED is characterised by its uniqueness in the combination of two functions - "heat dissipation" and "optimum reflector design" . The optics are rounded off by a compact bulb size for optimum fitting accuracy in the headlamp.
Furthermore, the bulbs are vibration-resistant to impacts, for example due to uneven road surfaces.
Quality and performance make every OSRAM product an OSRAM original. Unfortunately, product piracy has reached a point where it is difficult to visually distinguish between original and counterfeit.
OSRAM has therefore integrated security features into the production process that allow you to authenticate your bulbs online in two simple steps.
OSRAM offers up to 6 years guarantee for NIGHT BREAKER LED bulbs. One extra year of guarantee can be secured if the NIGHT BREAKER LED bulbs are purchased at and installed by a professional workshop. Find more info here.
You can view the current list of countries and vehicles here.
Approval for the legal NIGHT BREAKER LED is a very complex process for each vehicle model. Therefore, no statement on a concrete time estimate is possible at this point in time, we hope for your understanding. OSRAM is continuously working on further developments. You can always find the current country and vehicle list here.
Approval in other European countries depends on the respective legal situation of the country and to what extent they accept the approval. OSRAM cannot make any generally valid statement in this regard. You can view the current list of approved countries here.
The sticker is to be applied to the rear of the headlamp in the engine compartment, the approval is not affected by this. In case you lost the sticker please contact OSRAM customer service.
For vehicles declared as officially approved by OSRAM, the complete light distribution has been verified according to ECE R112. For vehicles that are not declared as approved by OSRAM, installation and use in road traffic will result in the invalidation of the operating permit and the loss of insurance coverage.
This replacement lamp is only approved for the respective traffic (e.g., left-hand traffic). Before traveling to a country with another traffic (e.g., right-hand traffic), a re-fitting to a halogen lamp is necessary. Further details and the compatibility list can be found at: www.nb-led.de.
OSRAM does not assume that there will be any queries from testing organisations or the police. If this should be the case, the OSRAM customer service offers support.
The headlamp approval number can be found directly on the headlamp - either on front glass or on a sticker of the housing. You can find example pictures here. A matching approval number is mandatory for approval.
In most cases only low beam is approved. In some cases high beam is also approved. Please check the compatibility list for details.
In case of any questions, please refer to the installation manual and our tutorials. If you still need assistance, please contact the OSRAM customer service. Installation accessories may be required.
OSRAM offers its customers a vehicle list per country with a detailed overview of the respective vehicle models, the tested headlamps and the installation accessories required for them.
