What payment methods do you accept?
We utilize Shopify Payments, enabling us to accept all major debit and credit cards, as well as digital wallets. This ensures that your data remains fully protected and secure. If you’re local and prefer to collect your item in person, we are also happy to accept cash at the time of collection.
What should I do if my payment is declined while placing my order?

Do you provide any discounts?
We host a variety of promotions throughout the year. Sign up for our newsletter to receive exclusive offers and discount codes as soon as they are released.
Has the price of my product decreased since I placed my order? If so, could I receive a credit for the difference?
Occasionally, prices may fluctuate due to various factors such as demand, promotions, or market changes. We recognize that it can be frustrating when an item is discounted shortly after your purchase; however, we regret to inform you that we are unable to provide refunds or credits for any price reductions that occur after an order has been placed.
Order cancellations
If you need to modify or cancel your order, please reach out to us promptly after placing it, and we will check the status of your order. While we will do our utmost to assist you, please understand that during busy times, this may not always be feasible.
Delivery
Is it possible for me to change my delivery address?

What steps should I take if my order hasn't arrived?
We recognize that delays can occur occasionally, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Once your order has been dispatched from our warehouse, you will receive a dispatch email containing tracking information and estimated delivery times. If the expected time has passed, please check with your neighbors to see if someone might have accepted the parcel on your behalf, as a notification card may not always be left. If that doesn't yield results, please reach out to us, and we will work to resolve the issue as swiftly as possible.
My tracking information indicates that my order has been delivered, but I have not yet received it.
Please take a moment to check your courier tracking for further details, as your order might have been delivered to a neighbor or placed in a secure location. If you are still unable to find your order, do not hesitate to reach out to us.
What should I do if I'm not home when my order is delivered?
In certain instances, depending on the size of the parcel, it might be deliverable through your letterbox without needing a signature. If this is not the case, you will receive a notification from the courier with additional details. Typically, they will either leave the package with a neighbor or attempt delivery again the following day. You may also have the option to adjust your preferences through the courier's in-flight delivery choices.
Is it possible for me to select a specific date and time for my delivery?
Regrettably, this is not a service we can provide. However, you might have the option to postpone delivery or modify your preferences (such as a safe place or neighbor) through your courier's in-flight delivery features.
What caused my parcel to be returned?
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by your order not reaching you. There are several reasons this may occur:
- The delivery was refused

Are LED bulbs road legal?
LED bulbs are only road legal when they have been factory fitted as standard, please be aware that aftermarket LED bulbs used on the exterior of a vehicle are not UK road legal. However, issues of this kind are uncommon, as most MOT centres are satisfied as long as the bulbs emit a bright, crisp white light, making them safe for road use. This does not apply to the interior where you can install any LED bulb or colour you like.
What is the difference between halogen and xenon technology?
Halogen and Xenon Bulbs: A Comparison
- Halogen Bulbs
Emit a warm, yellowish light at approximately 3000K, utilize a glowing tungsten filament providing between 400 to 1000 hours of illumination and generally consume more energy.
- Xenon Bulbs
Produce a bright, crisp white with a bluish tint, achieving a higher colour temperature of around 6000K, they generate light through an electric arc in ionized gas. Xenons last significantly longer, often reaching 2000 to 4000 hours, an initial boost is required to ignite the arc gas, after which it stabilizes.
Overall, while halogen bulbs provide a warm ambiance, xenon bulbs offer a more efficient and longer-lasting lighting solution.
Why Choose LED Bulbs?
LED bulbs utilize diodes to produce light, making them significantly more efficient and durable compared to halogen bulbs, which rely on a filament, and xenon bulbs, which operate using an electric arc. As a result, halogen and xenon bulbs are less resilient. LED bulbs represent a modern enhancement and have become a highly favored replacement among many vehicle owners.
How simple is it to install replacement bulbs?
In most cases, replacing your bulbs is quite simple; however, we are unable to offer a detailed guide since each car model varies. We recommend referring to your vehicle's handbook for additional instructions.
Do I need to make any modifications when replacing bulbs on my car?
Most replacement bulbs do not need any modifications unless you choose to increase the wattage. In such cases, we recommend seeking professional advice. If you have any doubts, please feel free to reach out to us.
Are 100W bulbs legal for road use?
100W bulbs are not permitted for use on UK roads and are typically intended for off-road applications only. If you are upgrading from standard 55W bulbs, we strongly recommend having your wiring inspected to ensure it can handle the increased power.
