Buyer and installer scope: Compare pre-LCI and LCI body, lighting and electronics before choosing retrofit parts.
What to check first
Confirm vehicle generation, production date, options, mounting points, connector type and any required coding or calibration. Keep the product listing, measurements and VIN notes together before ordering.
Installation and purchase risks
- Model-year or facelift differences can change brackets, wiring and control modules.
- Aftermarket parts may require dry fitting, trimming, coding, paint preparation or calibration.
- Photograph packaging and parts before installation so any shipping issue is documented.
Buyer decision checklist
Ask the seller to confirm fitment in writing, identify included hardware, explain return conditions and state whether professional installation is recommended. See Buyer Decision Guides and the Installation and Fitment Knowledge Center.
