LED technology for everyone
Similar to lamps in your home, vehicle lamps can be replaced based on their socket and technology. Most LED lamps are not street-legal in exterior applications, which means that halogen lamps may only be replaced with LED lamps in off-road vehicles.
Finally, with OSRAM's NIGHT BREAKER LED, vehicles equipped with halogen headlights can upgrade to LED light. OSRAM, the No. 1 in automotive lighting, developed NIGHT BREAKER LED from scratch and continuously obtains the approval of TÜV-Süd and the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) for new headlights and vehicle types. NIGHT BREAKER LED is the solution for an easy and affordable upgrade to state-of-the-art vehicle lighting technology.
Each headlight is tested individually to ensure correct light distribution on the road. Check the compatibility list to find out if your vehicle has been approved for NIGHT BREAKER LED already! Then follow the steps below to make your upgrade street-legal.

Headlight approval number on the inside of the headlight |
Headlight approval number on the inside of the headlight |
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 lamps 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 lamp size for optimum fitting accuracy in the headlamp.
Furthermore, the lamps 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 lamps online in two simple steps.
OSRAM offers up to 6 years guarantee for NIGHT BREAKER LED lamps. One extra year of guarantee can be secured if the NIGHT BREAKER LED lamps are purchased at and installed by a professional workshop. Find more info 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.
No, the laws of the country in which the vehicle is registered also apply abroad. This means that a vehicle cannot be objected to in a country where it is not registered. Countries with left-hand traffic (e.g. Great Britain) are an exception. Here, the driver must switch back to halogen lamps, even if the vehicle is registered in the home country.
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.
