With this conversion kit, the Mercedes-Benz Unimog 1300L and vehicles with the same bumper can be switched from halogen lighting to LED main headlights.
LED light has several advantages over halogen light (Advantages of LED lighting). Trucks in particular, with their higher-mounted halogen lights, have the problem of poor road illumination, especially in bad weather. This is where LED headlights show their full strengths.
The conversion kit always consists of the four rectangular Nolden NCC AVEGO LED headlights, the mounting system, and a multi-part connection wiring harness.
The two low-beam headlights with 1,401 lumens sit on the outside. Their surrounding ("O") or top-dimmed ("U") light guide also works as a daytime running light and position light. On the inside sit two high-beam headlights, whose light guides either have no function (mono high-beam headlight) or form the position light and turn signal.
No additional control unit is needed. The headlights switch automatically in line with the UN ECE regulations. The headlights do not require any inspection, parts certificate, ABE, and so on, because they carry all the necessary UN ECE markings (E-mark) for the lighting functions as well as for radio interference suppression. Installation in the old halogen headlight position is in line with UN ECE R48. If you want to know more, please read our FAQ on this: LED headlights and approval.
The conversion kits were developed by our lighting team in close cooperation with Nolden Engineering to reach the best performance.
If your vehicle has manual or automatic beam leveling for the lighting, be sure to talk to us first!
If your vehicle has the original waterproof headlights (overpressure system), you have to note this when choosing the conversion kit in the order form, since different brackets are needed there.
Position light
If the vehicle already has a position light that stays in place despite the conversion kit, the mono high-beam headlight must be chosen (light guide without function).
The coating
For the coating we offer two processes. The base versions are powder-coated. The standard color is RAL 9005. Custom colors from the RAL range are possible for an extra charge. Powder coating is a standard process for protecting surfaces. It is, however, not very resistant to scratches or damage, which over time can lead to the coating flaking off.
That is why we offer a high-quality Naviton special coating. It consists of three functional layers: layer 1 forms the base and absorbs movement of the material. Layer 2 absorbs mechanical energy and serves as a buffer layer against stone chips and the like. The third layer is the color layer and provides a very hard, tough, and scratch-resistant surface.
You can read more about this coating here:
The Naviton system.
All the bracket material is made from rust-free stainless steel.
The complete kit includes all the mounting material and ready-made wiring harnesses. The connection wiring harness for the vehicle uses the existing connectors, H4 and position light, and includes a loose cable end for connecting the daytime running light to ignition-switched power (terminal 15). Matching butt connectors with heat-shrink for making a Y-connection are included as well.
For the installation we recommend the crimping pliers from Knipex. For the butt connector you can use the
SL-KN-975237 pliers. You also need a heat gun to fit the heat-shrink tubing.
