The Right Lighting Solution for Your Application

High-beam headlights, light bars, or work lights? The right auxiliary lights for you depend on how you’ll use them: A spot beam concentrates light for maximum range, while a flood beam provides wide illumination—ideal for maneuvering. The combo beam combines both. Whether it’s an expedition, an off-road tour, or everyday use: We’ll tailor your off-road lighting precisely to your vehicle and route.

Registration, TÜV, and Legal Requirements

In road traffic, auxiliary headlights must have ECE approval with an E-mark. For high beams, the reference number is also important, and auxiliary high beams must turn on and off in tandem with the high beams. We handle the retrofit, including TÜV-compliant installation and wiring—using tested components from Strands Lighting Division, Lazer Lamps, or PIAA.

Installation, Electrical Work, and Integration into the Vehicle

Whether on the radiator grille, the front bumper, or the roof rack—we install auxiliary headlights so they’re waterproof and easy to maintain. We integrate the electrical system into the vehicle in a CAN-bus-compliant manner: with relays, fuses, neat wiring, and a suitable switch solution—connected to your camper’s onboard control system upon request.

Customize Your Auxiliary Headlights

Light output, range, position lights in white or orange: We’ll configure auxiliary headlights to match your setup—even in combination with a front bar, roof rack, or winch. We’ll plan for future upgrades right from the start and advise you on the differences in quality among premium manufacturers, from Strands LED to Lazer Lamps.

What Customers Say About Us

Why the Right Off-Road Lighting Makes a Difference in Your Everyday Camper Life

Powerful auxiliary headlights provide better visibility in the dark and increase safety on isolated country roads, in bad weather, and on unpaved trails. You’ll spot obstacles, wildlife, or narrow passages much sooner—making long drives more relaxing.

But well-designed off-road lighting isn’t just for driving: work lights make maneuvering easier, illuminate your campsite, and help with repairs. At the same time, high-quality auxiliary lights give your vehicle a distinctive look.

What matters most here isn’t maximum light output, but a well-coordinated overall design: the light pattern, mounting position, wiring, and legal requirements must all work together. The result is a system that supports you just as reliably in everyday life as it does on big adventures.

Additional Lighting for Camper Vans: What to Consider When Choosing Lighting for Your Van

How and where do you ride? On highways and country roads, range is key; on off-road tours and forest trails, wide illumination is essential. If you frequently maneuver or set up camp in the dark, add work lights or reverse lights.

The installation location is just as important: auxiliary headlights can be discreetly integrated into the grille, mounted on the front bumper, or attached to the roof rack. Parking sensors, the front camera, and ACC must function without restriction—and the solution must remain TÜV-compliant.

Quality is a key factor: Good LED auxiliary headlights stand out for their light output, long service life, waterproof housings, and reliable electronics. Combined with professional wiring, this results in a lighting system that will last for many years.

Gearshift with high beams or separately?

The switching configuration depends on the function and approval status of the auxiliary lights: Additional high-beam headlights are linked to the standard high beams and may only be turned on together with them. Work lights and camping lights, on the other hand, are switched on separately—they are permitted exclusively off public roads. Modern control systems also enable customized setups, such as via factory-installed switches, separate control panels, or the vehicle’s digital control system.

Covering Auxiliary Headlights While Driving

Whether a cover is required depends on the vehicle’s certification and intended use: ECE-approved high-beam headlights may remain permanently exposed, provided they are connected in accordance with regulations. The situation is different for off-road-only headlights or work lights that are not street-legal—they may not be used on public roads and must be fitted with a suitable protective cover. This has a welcome side effect: It protects the lens from stone chips, dirt, and the elements, thereby extending the service life of your auxiliary headlights.

Parking Lights and Position Lights

Many modern auxiliary headlights feature an integrated position light or parking light in addition to the main beam. This primarily enhances the vehicle’s appearance and creates a striking look, but depending on the model, it can also improve visibility on the road. White or amber parking lights, which blend harmoniously into the vehicle’s design, are particularly popular. A key requirement: This feature must also have valid ECE approval and be connected in accordance with regulations—this ensures a high-quality appearance without compromising approval status or operational safety.

From selection to seamless integration—here’s how your lighting concept comes together

A well-designed lighting system starts before installation. The first step: Get an overview here and send us your ideas using the inquiry form—the more we know about your vehicle, travel habits, and intended use, the more tailored our advice will be.

Together, we then determine the headlight models and mounting positions. In doing so, we take into account light distribution, vehicle height, existing attachments, driver-assistance systems, and the requirements for TÜV-compliant installation—and select the appropriate models from our premium manufacturers.

Once approved, our technicians will professionally install your auxiliary headlights: with virtually invisible wiring, integration into the vehicle’s electrical system, and precise alignment. Finally, we’ll test every function and document the entire system.

Frequently Asked Questions About Auxiliary Headlights

Are auxiliary headlights allowed in Germany?

Yes—provided they have a valid ECE approval and are installed and connected in accordance with regulations. Key factors include the number of lights, the reference number, the mounting position, and the wiring configuration. Pure off-road or work lights without street approval, on the other hand, are only permitted off public roads.

Do auxiliary headlights have to be linked to the high beams?

Additional high-beam headlights: Yes, they may only be used on public roads in conjunction with the standard high beams, not independently of them. Work lights and camping lights are switched on separately, as their use is limited to areas outside of public roads.

Which auxiliary headlights are suitable for my camper or Mercedes Sprinter?

It depends on the intended use: For long nighttime drives, high-beam headlights with a long range are recommended; for off-road trails and forest paths, light bars or floodlights with a wide beam are best. If you frequently maneuver or set up camp in the dark, add work lights or backup lights.

Do auxiliary headlights require TÜV registration?

Not necessarily. Many ECE-approved models may be driven without registration if they are installed properly, provided that all legal requirements are met. We’ll determine which solution is permissible for your vehicle during the planning phase.

Where should auxiliary headlights be mounted?

That depends on the vehicle and its intended use. Common mounting locations include the radiator grille, front bumper, and roof rack; backup lights and work lights are mounted at the rear or on the sides of the vehicle. Installation must not interfere with driver-assistance systems such as cameras, parking sensors, or ACC, nor violate any legal requirements.

Which manufacturers offer high-quality auxiliary headlights?

Among the leading brands are Strands Lighting Division, Lazer Lamps, and PIAA. All three are known for modern LED technology, high light output, and long-lasting quality—whether for everyday use or off-road and expedition trips.
