Question How do I know if the Philips LED Retrot is compatible with my headlamp?
Answer Philips LED Retrot lights are compatible with a wide range of vehicle models. But to
check your specic car, take the following steps:
1. Measure the diameter of your headlamp and the space that you have behind the
headlight xture (i.e. the space behind the secured bulb). To be able to install the
LED retrot you need a minimum 60mm headlamp diameter and 70mm space
behind the xture.
2. Check if the connector is also used as a bulb holder. If this is the case, you won’t
be able to mount the LED Retrot.
If in doubt, please check with your dealer/installer and they’ll be able to help.
