All Original Equipment lighting systems must be homologated according to strict regulations; this applies from the light source to projector design and projector fitting on the vehicle. For long lasting performances it is important to follow some rule regarding the vehicle lighting servicing. Lighting systems servicing 19.1. Light source selection The position of the light source is fundamental to light projection onto the road. By light source, it should be understood the area where light is emitted from the source. This means it is either a filament, an arc or a LED chip. Little variations on the source position generate a huge difference on the light projection. This is why all light sources are specified exactly and in particular the tolerances on the light source positioning in the lamp. In addition to the position of the filament inside the bulb, the axis of the lamp itself and its reference plane must be precisely adjusted to the projection element. This is part of the reason why Xenon and LED conversion fit kits are not legally authorized as they are not homologated and totally modify the light distribution inside the projector.
