Choosing the right auxiliary lights for a car depends on the intended use, the type of vehicle, and your personal needs. The most important factors to consider are the lighting technology (LED, halogen, or xenon), IP rating, mounting method, and compliance with Finnish traffic regulations. High-quality Lazer auxiliary lights offer excellent lighting performance and long service life.

Why are auxiliary lights important for safety and driving comfort?

Auxiliary lights significantly improve driving safety, especially at night and in challenging weather conditions. They expand the field of vision and increase visibility to other road users.

Due to Finland’s long periods of darkness, good lighting is essential for safe driving. Auxiliary lights help detect pedestrians, animals, and changes in the road environment in time. On rural roads, where street lighting is absent, auxiliary lights can be a critical safety factor.

For work tasks, auxiliary lights make loading and unloading in the dark easier. For recreational use, they enhance the driving experience on forest roads and during trips to cabins.

Differences between LED, halogen, and xenon auxiliary lights

• LED lights are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and produce bright white light.

• Halogen lights are affordable but consume more energy.

• Xenon lights provide very bright light but are more expensive.

LED technology is currently the most popular choice due to its energy efficiency and long lifespan. Lazer auxiliary lights use top-quality LED technology, ensuring even light distribution and excellent durability.

Factors to consider when choosing auxiliary lights for your car

The main selection criteria are the type of vehicle, intended use, IP rating for water resistance, mounting method, and compliance with Finnish law. The light output should match actual needs.

An IP67 rating guarantees full protection against dust and water, which is essential in Finnish conditions. The mounting method must suit your vehicle’s structure and intended use.

In Finland, the use of auxiliary lights is regulated by road traffic law. The lights must be wired in a way that corresponds to the main high beams and may only be used when high beam use is permitted. Placement and alignment must comply with regulations.

Installation costs and DIY possibilities

Professional installation typically costs between €100–300, depending on the complexity of the installation. DIY installation is possible for someone with basic electrical skills but requires the right tools and knowledge.

For DIY installation, you need basic tools, a multimeter, and possibly a drill. The most important factors are secure mounting and proper electrical connection to the vehicle’s light switch.

Professional help is recommended if the vehicle has a complex electrical system or the installation requires structural modifications. Improper installation can cause electrical faults or safety risks.

Best auxiliary light brands and where to buy

Reliable brands include Lazer Lamps, known for premium quality and long warranties. The most important thing is to choose a supplier who provides a comprehensive warranty and expert guidance.
