Verlichtingsgidsen voor Europese vrachtwagenmerken.

Elke grote Europese truck-OEM heeft zijn eigen elektrische en mechanische eigenaardigheden. Deze gidsen behandelen wat u moet weten voor het monteren van extra verlichting op een MAN-, Scania-, Mercedes-Benz-, Volvo-, DAF-, Iveco- of Renault-platform.

Heavy 8x8 MAN truck cab photographed at dusk, with auxiliary LED lighting lit along the roof bar

Vehicle guide · Trucks

Professional LED lighting for MAN trucks.

MAN's TGL, TGM, TGS and TGX share an electrical architecture built around 24V, FMS-ready CAN buses and load-dump-tolerant wiring. Fitting aftermarket LED lamps to those platforms is straightforward — provided the lamps meet ECE R10 for EMC and the driver and DRL circuits are wired into the right fuse group. This page covers what fits where, which approvals to check, and the cable specs that keep the CAN happy.

Long-haul Scania tractor combination with marker lamps illuminated along the trailer

Professional LED lighting for Scania trucks.

Scania's R, S, P, G and L ranges share a single cab platform with consistent mounting points and a 24V CAN architecture that's been largely unchanged since the 2016 NGS (New Generation Scania) redesign. Fitting aftermarket lighting to a modern Scania is mostly predictable — the electrical system is well-documented, the roof rails are standard, and the LIN/CAN gateway tolerates aftermarket loads better than most.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter service vehicle with crane and auxiliary amber lighting

Vehicle guide · Trucks

Professional LED lighting for Mercedes-Benz trucks.

Mercedes-Benz's heavy-truck line — Actros, Arocs, Antos and the Atego light-duty platform — shares a single Multi-Media Cockpit architecture on every model after 2019. Aftermarket lighting fits into a tightly-integrated electrical system: the MirrorCam pillar, the integrated LED headlamps with adaptive beam, and the truck's extensive driver-assist monitoring all influence what you can add and where.

Professional LED lighting for Volvo trucks.

Volvo's FH, FM, FMX and FL ranges share a cab platform and a 24V CAN architecture that is unusually tolerant of aftermarket loads. The factory pre-routes an auxiliary loom to the rear of the cab that's rated for 40A continuous; very few installs push that envelope even with a full light-bar-plus-beacons setup.

DAF tractor and trailer combination with full-length LED side strip running into dusk

Vehicle guide · Trucks

Professional LED lighting for DAF trucks.

DAF's XF, XG, XF+, CF and LF platforms built in Eindhoven share a modular electrical architecture that's particularly friendly to aftermarket fitting. The factory-routed auxiliary loom terminates at a dedicated fuse box under the passenger seat — eight spare auxiliary fuse positions on most builds, pre-rated from 5A to 20A.

Iveco tipper on a construction site with amber beacon illuminated at dusk

Vehicle guide · Trucks

Professional LED lighting for Iveco trucks.

Iveco's S-Way, X-Way, T-Way and Daily platforms cover everything from Mediterranean long-haul to Italian mountain construction. The S-Way (2019-onward) inherited most of its electrical architecture from the outgoing Stralis, so installers with Stralis experience transition cleanly.

Renault tractor with bonnet- and bumper-mounted auxiliary spotlights

Vehicle guide · Trucks

Professional LED lighting for Renault Trucks.

Renault Trucks (the Volvo Group's French brand) shares core mechanical architecture with Volvo's FM range but is dressed in a distinct cab and a lighter electrical package. The T, T High, C, K and D ranges target urban distribution, construction and long-haul respectively — each with a slightly different installer-friendliness profile.
