Hello guys i sell car body parts and lights and i recently sold a Audi LED Xenon headlight and the customer has sent me pics of our light supposedly fitted to the car and the LED strip does not work, now i dont know if its his old headlight still and he's trying to pull a fast one or ours is a faulty item but anyway my point is does anybody know of any type of LED testing kits out there? ive seen a few vids of people abroad using some type of kits (Cant make out what they are exactly) so they must be available somewere as this could be a regular problem with selling these LED lights.
Any help would be much appreciated!

As in just powering the LED lamps up? Dont they just need 12v?

Get 12v laptop charger and you'll be able to test it

i thought they was only 12V just wanted to check.

I wouldn't be so quick to assume they use 12v to be honest. They will be controlled to an ECU module to make them dim when the indicator is used or when they act as sidelights. They could even be controlled via a canbus line which could vary the power to them.

can u take one apart and see if the wiring goes direct to the leds or if these is a controller pcb inside with some added pwm controllers or soming.

ifs just direct to leds you can just power them, if there's a controller board maybe bit more complicated!

i need somthing ideally i can plug into the wire connectors or somthing similar just to check them, i dont fancy taking one apart unless if i come across a damaged one i dont mind doing that.

need to know how just one works before you can make a test rig
