What Freightliner models and years are compatible with your LED headlights and fog lights?
Our LED lighting products are designed for Freightliner Cascadia (2008-2017 and 2018-present), Columbia (2000-2015), Century (1996-2011), and Coronado (2001-present) models. Each product listing specifies exact fitment details. For Cascadia models, note that 2018+ requires different mounting brackets than pre-2018 models. Always verify your truck's specific year and headlight configuration (dual or quad) before ordering, as some models have mid-year changes that affect compatibility.
How difficult is it to install LED headlights on my Freightliner, and what tools do I need?
Most LED headlight installations take 30-60 minutes per side and require basic hand tools: Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, 10mm and 13mm sockets, and wire strippers for any hardwire connections. Plug-and-play options are available for most models, eliminating cutting or splicing. The main challenge reported by customers is accessing tight spaces behind the headlight housing on some Cascadia models. We recommend removing the front grille for easier access. Detailed installation guides are included with each product.
Will LED lights cause problems with my truck's computer system or throw error codes?
Quality LED lights with built-in CANbus decoders prevent error codes and warning lights. All our Freightliner LED headlights include these decoders to ensure compatibility with your truck's computer system. However, some older Columbia and Century models (pre-2005) may require additional load resistors for turn signals and marker lights to function properly. These resistors are included with applicable products or available separately for about $15-20 per set.
What is the actual lifespan of LED lights compared to standard halogen bulbs in real-world trucking conditions?
Our LED lights are rated for 30,000-50,000 hours of operation, compared to 500-1,000 hours for standard halogen bulbs. In practical terms, drivers report 4-6 years of continuous use without failure, even in harsh conditions. The aluminum housing and polycarbonate lenses resist vibration damage better than glass halogen bulbs. Most failures occur from moisture intrusion rather than LED burnout, which is why we only carry lights with IP67 or higher waterproof ratings.
Are chrome, black, or custom finish options available, and will they match my truck's existing trim?
We stock chrome, gloss black, and matte black finishes for most Freightliner lighting products. Chrome options feature triple-plated chrome over ABS plastic housings that match OEM Freightliner chrome trim. Black options come in both smooth gloss (matches newer Cascadia blackout packages) and textured matte finishes. Custom colors like white or color-matched options are available through special order with 2-3 week lead times. Bezels and trim rings are also available separately if you want to change the appearance without replacing the entire light assembly.
