For years now, Scheinwerfer LUXX has offered LED headlight conversion kits for all sorts of trucks and lighter vehicles. Now the MAN F2000 (and L2000) can be converted too. You get the choice between two generations of Nolden LED headlights, the AVEGO and the AVEGO Edge.
Fire brigades, water rescue and technical relief crews already run Scheinwerfer LUXX LED conversion kits at plenty of stations across Germany, above all on the Mercedes-Benz Unimog. The mid and heavy Mercedes range (1017, 1117, 914, 917, 1222, 1224 and others), the Mercedes-Benz Vario and a few IVECO models are in the line-up as well. From now on, the front headlights from Nolden Cars&Concepts in Cologne, together with the conversion kit, are available for the MAN L2000 and F2000 too.
Better light, especially on the road, for the MAN L2000 and F2000
Because the dimensions and the mounting system are the same, you can choose between the 3rd generation Nolden AVEGO headlight and the 4th generation AVEGO Edge, where the low beam puts out 4% and the high beam 22% more power. The light is more even, and the low beam is wider too. The headlights are waterproof to IP6K9K, and so is the optional beam levelling.
Whichever generation you go for, the light is clearly better than anything the old H4 headlights give you.
The light functions of the AVEGO headlights
Each conversion kit comes with two low-beam and two high-beam headlights. The low-beam units also carry the daytime running light and position light function. The high-beam headlight, depending on the generation, has either just the high beam or, on the 3rd generation, the position light and indicator as well. On the AVEGO Edge (4th generation) the high beam always includes the position and indicator light. The 4th generation also has matching rear lights in the same design, so you can fit one clean, modern lighting look all the way around the vehicle.
As standard, the kit for the MAN F2000 comes with the indicator function switched off, because this model already has its indicator set into the bumper, and four front indicators aren’t allowed. If you deactivate the outer original indicator and remove and cover the yellow indicator lens, you can order the kit with the indicator switched on as an option.
Everything else is in the kit: brackets, bolts, a wiring harness with the right round bayonet connector, and a full fitting guide. The parts are made from RAL 9005 black-coated stainless steel. If you know your way around a spanner, you can fit the set yourself in about two to three hours. For the wiring, you basically just plug the connections together.
Here you can see the new AVEGO Edge headlights and the optional rear lights in detail.
Nolden, proven OEM quality
Unlike makers for the consumer market, Nolden produces for the vehicle industry as a Tier 1 supplier, above all for vehicles that face tough conditions. Public transport operators in several big cities, Cologne, Düsseldorf and Munich among them, have switched their rail vehicles to Nolden LED headlights to cut light-related failures to zero. So these headlights don’t need to chase ever higher lumen figures that only shorten their life.
Nolden doesn’t cut corners on the housings or the lens either. The first Nolden main headlights that reached the wider market, the well-known 7-inch headlights, still show no weakness even after 16 years. Not on the lens, not on the housing. Strong polycarbonate and a solid UV-protective coating stop the lens from yellowing, a problem aftermarket headlights in particular tend to have. The double-protected die-cast aluminium housings show no corrosion either, the kind you often see on headlights from countries where salt on winter roads is unknown.
You’ll find the LED conversion kit for the MAN F2000 at Scheinwerfer LUXX. If you have questions, just ask, they’ll talk you through it. There’s a kit for the MAN L2000 as well. Like the other conversion kits, it isn’t sold straight through the shop, because a short chat about your setup makes sense first. You can use the chat and help option at the bottom right of the Scheinwerfer LUXX online shop, give them a call, or send an email to the ticket system: shop@scheinwerfer-luxx.de.
Note: to make sure you always get the right one, these kits can’t be ordered directly in the shop. Please call Scheinwerfer LUXX, use the online chat, or send an email to open a ticket there. Scheinwerfer LUXX will then get in touch to sort out the details.
