Ordering & Vehicle Fit

Placing an Order & Confirming Compatibility

How checkout, vehicle verification, and VIN confirmation work before your order ships.

No. You can check out without your VIN. After your order is placed, our team contacts you by email (and WhatsApp, where a number is provided) to confirm your vehicle identification number, make, model, and year before your order is released for dispatch.
Fitment errors are the biggest cause of returns in the automotive parts industry. Because our CarPlay units, Android Auto units, headlights, and LED kits are matched to specific dashboard layouts, headlight housings, or wiring configurations, we cross-reference your vehicle details against our confirmed applications before your order ships, so problems are caught before dispatch, not after.
If a compatibility issue is identified during verification, we contact you before shipping and offer either a suitable alternative product or a full refund. You will never be shipped a part our team knows will not fit your vehicle.
We aim to make contact within 1 business day of your order. Once you confirm your details, processing begins: orders placed before 16:00 CET on a business day begin processing the same day, and processing itself takes 1–2 business days.
Yes. Reply to our verification email or WhatsApp message with the correct details at any time before your order is marked as processed, and our team will re-check compatibility against the updated information.
Products & Compatibility

Our CarPlay, Lighting & Electronics Range

What we sell, how our listings are labelled, and how to know if a product suits your vehicle.

Genuine OEM items are original manufacturer parts, including inspected used assemblies, always described as used. OEM-style items are new components built to factory form, fit, and wiring specifications by third-party manufacturers. Premium aftermarket items are styling or performance upgrades not intended to replicate a factory part. Every listing states which category it falls into.
Our CarPlay and Android Auto units are matched to your vehicle's original screen layout and steering wheel/dashboard control wiring during our verification step, so factory controls continue to function as expected once installed.
No. Our LED headlight and rear light kits are direct-fit, engineered for specific housing shapes and factory wiring harnesses, not universal one-size-fits-all bulbs. Product pages list confirmed vehicle applications.
Yes, we list CarPlay, lighting, and electronics products for these platforms. Manufacturer names are used only to describe which vehicles a product fits; Carplaylux is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of these manufacturers.
Yes, our LED rear light range includes Dragon Scale-style and factory-sequential turn-signal upgrades. Product pages specify which sequencing behaviour each kit offers.
Road-legal status depends on local vehicle regulations, including ECE/E-mark type-approval requirements, and can vary between the countries we ship to. It is the buyer's responsibility to confirm road-legal status in their own country before using any lighting product on public roads.

Returns, Refunds & Warranty

Changing Your Mind or Resolving an Issue

Your withdrawal rights, refund timing, and what happens if a product doesn't fit or arrives faulty.

You may request a return within 14 days of receiving your order. This reflects the statutory right of withdrawal under EU Directive 2011/83/EU, as implemented in each of the thirteen countries we serve.
Once your returned item is received and inspected, we process the refund to your original payment method within 7 business days.
Items must be returned unused, undamaged, and with original packaging and accessories where possible, so we can verify condition before issuing a refund. Custom-fit electronics that have already been installed cannot always be resold, so please confirm fitment during verification before installation.
All new goods carry the EU legal conformity guarantee under Directive (EU) 2019/771, normally running two years from delivery (reduced to a minimum of one year for used goods where local law permits). If a verified-compatible product is faulty or genuinely does not fit due to an error on our side, you are entitled to a repair, replacement, price reduction, or refund.
Return shipping terms, including any cost to the customer for a change-of-mind return within the 14-day window, are set out in full in our Return & Refund Policy. Faults or errors on our side are handled without cost to you.
Installation & Safety

Fitting Your Product Safely

What to know before you install lighting or electronics yourself.

We recommend professional installation for all lighting and electronic components, particularly those that interface with factory wiring or vehicle safety systems, to protect both your vehicle and your warranty coverage.
Genuine used OEM components are inspected for function before listing and sold as used parts. The applicable conformity guarantee period may be reduced to a minimum of one year for used goods, where local law permits, instead of the standard two years for new items.
Fitment issues arising from incorrect vehicle details provided by the customer are handled under our standard return terms rather than as a product fault, though our team will still work with you in good faith to find a solution, such as an exchange for the correct part.
Data, Recycling & Legal

Your Data, End-of-Life Disposal & Our Business

Privacy, WEEE recycling, and who you're buying from.

We retain VIN and vehicle-verification data only as long as needed to fulfil your order and handle any warranty or return claim, after which it is deleted or anonymised. Full detail is available in our Privacy Policy and Vehicle Compatibility & VIN Data Policy.
These are electronic products and must never go into household waste. They should be taken to a municipal WEEE collection point or a registered take-back scheme in your country. See our WEEE & Battery Recycling Notice for country-specific options.
