Who We Are

A Netherlands-Based Retailer Built for Serious Car Enthusiasts

Carplaylux is the trading name of Batterijen.net, a registered Netherlands business (VAT NL003661115B65) operating from Dordrecht. We sell online exclusively through our Shopify storefront at carplaylux.com, and we currently ship to thirteen European countries: Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Croatia, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain.

We were built around a simple frustration shared by many owners of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Tesla, Jaguar, Bentley, and Lamborghini vehicles: factory-style lighting and infotainment upgrades are either overpriced through dealerships or risky to buy online because fitment is rarely verified before checkout. Carplaylux exists to close that gap — by confirming compatibility with your specific vehicle before your order ships, not after.

What Drives Us

Fit, Function, and Full Disclosure

Every listing on our store is labelled honestly as one of three product types: genuine OEM, OEM-style (built to factory specifications by third-party manufacturers), or premium aftermarket. We do not blur these distinctions, because misrepresenting a part's origin is both a disservice to our customers and a breach of the trust that keeps an automotive parts business running.

We also believe delivery timelines should be stated plainly rather than optimistically. Our published shipping and processing times reflect what customers can realistically expect, not a best-case scenario designed to win a sale.

What We Sell

Our Product Categories

Every category below is manufactured or sourced to fit specific vehicle platforms. Product pages state the confirmed vehicle applications, OEM part numbers where available, and installation notes.

Sourcing & Product Transparency

We Label Every Part Honestly

Automotive lighting and electronics are safety-relevant components, so we never use ambiguous language to describe what a product actually is. Each listing on our store falls into one of three clearly marked categories:

GENUINE OEM

Original manufacturer parts, including used/pre-owned OEM assemblies removed from donor vehicles. These are inspected for function before listing and described as used, not new, in every case.

OEM-STYLE

New components built to match factory form, fit, and (where applicable) wiring specifications, produced by third-party manufacturers rather than the original vehicle brand.

PREMIUM AFTERMARKET

Performance or styling upgrades not intended to replicate a factory part, clearly presented as an aftermarket modification rather than an OEM replacement.

Because many of our lighting and infotainment products are matched to a specific chassis code, model year, and factory wiring configuration, we do not claim universal fitment. Product pages list the confirmed vehicle applications, and our support team verifies your vehicle identification details before your order is finalised for shipping.

How Ordering Works

Vehicle Verification Before Anything Ships

Because fitment errors are the single biggest source of returns in the automotive parts industry, we verify every order against your actual vehicle before it is dispatched.

1

Order Placed

You select your product and complete checkout using any of our supported payment methods.

2

Vehicle Confirmation

Our team contacts you by email (and WhatsApp, where provided) to confirm your vehicle identification number (VIN), make, model, and year.

3

Compatibility Check

We cross-reference your details against the product's confirmed applications before releasing the order for fulfilment.

4

Processing

Orders placed before 16:00 CET on a business day begin processing the same day; all others begin the next business day. Processing takes 1–2 business days.

5

Dispatch & Tracking

Your order ships via DHL or UPS with tracking, and we email your tracking number as soon as it is available.

If a compatibility issue is identified during verification, we will tell you before shipping — not after — and offer a suitable alternative or a full refund.

Shipping & Delivery

Returns & Refunds

Our Return Policy, in Plain Terms

14-Day Return Window

You may request a return within 14 days of receiving your order. This aligns with the statutory right of withdrawal granted under EU consumer protection law (Directive 2011/83/EU) as implemented in each country we serve.

7-Business-Day Refunds

Once a returned item is received and inspected, we process the refund to your original payment method within 7 business days.

Condition Requirements

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 or vehicle-specific electronics that have been installed cannot always be resold, so we ask that you confirm fitment during our verification step before installation. Full terms, including exceptions and the return process, are set out in our Return & Refund Policy.

Consumer Rights by Country

Your Legal Protections, Market by Market

As an EU-based online retailer, Carplaylux operates under a shared baseline of EU consumer law — including the 14-day right of withdrawal (Directive 2011/83/EU) and the legal conformity guarantee (Directive (EU) 2019/771), which normally runs for two years from delivery and may be reduced to a minimum of one year for pre-owned goods where local law permits. Each country we ship to also enforces this baseline through its own national authority, listed below.

Belgium
Enforced by the FOD Economie (Federal Public Service Economy). Belgian law additionally requires clear pre-contractual pricing information and prohibits misleading "before/after" price comparisons under the Belgian Code of Economic Law.
Czech Republic
Enforced by the Czech Trade Inspection Authority (Česká obchodní inspekce, ČOI). Czech civil law implements the standard 14-day withdrawal period and the EU conformity guarantee under the Czech Civil Code.
France
Enforced by the DGCCRF (Direction générale de la concurrence, de la consommation et de la répression des fraudes). French Consumer Code requires clear disclosure of the identity of the seller (here, Batterijen.net) and full pre-contractual information on total price, delivery, and withdrawal rights.
Germany
Consumer rights are set out in the German Civil Code (BGB), §§312 ff., covering distance-selling withdrawal rights, and enforced through regional consumer protection bodies (Verbraucherzentralen) and civil courts. A German-language withdrawal form must be made available, which is provided in our Legal Notice.
Hungary
Enforced by consumer protection authorities operating under Hungary's county government offices (Kormányhivatal), implementing Government Decree 45/2014 on distance contracts, which mirrors the EU 14-day withdrawal standard.
Italy
Enforced by the Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato (AGCM). The Italian Consumer Code (Codice del Consumo) applies the standard EU withdrawal period and requires return shipping costs to be disclosed clearly if charged to the customer (we do not charge them for standard returns within policy terms).
Croatia
Enforced by the State Inspectorate (Državni inspektorat), consumer protection division. Croatian Consumer Protection Act implements the EU distance-selling and conformity guarantee rules.
Netherlands
Enforced by the Autoriteit Consument & Markt (ACM). As a Dutch-registered business, Carplaylux/Batterijen.net is directly subject to Dutch civil law (Burgerlijk Wetboek) implementing the EU withdrawal and conformity rules, in addition to Dutch VAT obligations.
Austria
Consumer matters fall under Austria's Federal Ministry of Social Affairs and the Consumer Information Association (Verein für Konsumenteninformation, VKI). The Austrian Distance and Foreign Trade Act (FAGG) implements the EU withdrawal period.
Portugal
Enforced by the Direção-Geral do Consumidor (DGC). Portuguese Decree-Law 24/2014 implements the EU distance-selling withdrawal right and pre-contractual disclosure requirements.
Slovakia
Enforced by the Slovak Trade Inspection (Slovenská obchodná inšpekcia, SOI). Slovak consumer protection law implements the standard EU withdrawal and guarantee framework.
Slovenia
Enforced by the Market Inspectorate of the Republic of Slovenia (Tržni inšpektorat RS). The Slovenian Consumer Protection Act (ZVPot-1) implements the EU distance-selling standard.
Spain
Enforced by regional consumer authorities under Spain's Ministry of Consumer Affairs framework. The General Law for the Defence of Consumers and Users (Real Decreto Legislativo 1/2007) implements the EU withdrawal and conformity rules.

Product Safety & Road-Legal Use

What You Should Know Before Installing Lighting Products

Vehicle lighting is regulated equipment in every country we serve. We ask every customer to review the following before purchase and installation:

  • Road-legal use of aftermarket or OEM-style lighting 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 use on public roads.
  • Genuine used OEM components are inspected for function prior to listing but are sold as used parts; the applicable conformity guarantee period may be reduced to a minimum of one year for used goods where permitted under local law.
  • We recommend professional installation for all lighting and electronic components, particularly those that interface with factory wiring or vehicle safety systems.
  • Vehicle compatibility is confirmed against the make, model, year, and VIN you provide during order verification. Fitment issues arising from incorrect vehicle details provided by the customer are handled under our standard return terms.
