2.2. How to make sure my car can be equipped with LED retrofit?
Not all the cars can be equipped with LED retrofit. At Philips, we have tested a variety of cars which are the most
representative in the European market, and for which we are confident that our bulbs can used properly.
2.3. Is it mandatory to use a CANbus adapter while fitting LED?
It’s strongly recommended to use a CANbus adapter to avoid either an excessive speed of the blinking or an error
message on the dashboard.
2.4. What SMD or SMT means?
It means a Single Mounted Device and Surface Mounted Technology. It refers to how the LED lamps is built and
how the LED are used to diffuse the light within the optic.
