Lazer Lamps CAN Solutions for modern vehicle electrical systems

Modern vehicles - particularly those manufactured from around 2015 onwards - manage their electrical systems through a CAN (Controller Area Network) bus rather than simple switched circuits. On a traditional vehicle, fitting auxiliary lights via a relay triggered from the main beam positive wire is straightforward. On a CAN-bus managed vehicle, drawing current from a switched circuit in the same way can trigger fault codes, interference with the vehicle's lighting management system, or prevent the auxiliary lights from functioning as expected.

Lazer's CAN Solutions are dedicated wiring harnesses that interface with the vehicle's CAN system correctly, allowing Lazer lights to operate without affecting the vehicle's electrical management. Each CAN Solution harness is vehicle-specific - engineered for the particular CAN architecture of the vehicle it is designed for - rather than a generic relay kit that may or may not work on a given platform.

If you are fitting Lazer lights to a vehicle manufactured in the last decade and are not sure whether a standard harness or a CAN Solution is required, check the vehicle's build year and model against Lazer's compatibility guide, or call us for guidance.

Frequently asked questions

What is a CAN Solution and why do I need one for modern vehicles?

A CAN Solution is a vehicle-specific wiring harness that allows auxiliary lights to be connected to a modern CAN bus electrical system without causing faults. Standard relay-based harnesses draw power from switched circuits in ways that can interfere with CAN-managed lighting systems, triggering warning lights or preventing the system from operating correctly.

How do I know if my vehicle needs a Lazer CAN Solution?

Most vehicles manufactured from around 2015 onwards use CAN-managed electrical systems. The surest way to confirm is to check the Lazer CAN Solutions compatibility list for your specific vehicle model and year. If your vehicle is listed, use the CAN Solution harness rather than a standard relay kit.

Is the Lazer CAN Solution vehicle-specific or universal?

Vehicle-specific. Each Lazer CAN Solution is engineered for a specific vehicle model and year, using that vehicle's CAN architecture and connector standards. Universal CAN interfaces exist in the market but do not offer the same reliability as a purpose-engineered solution.

Can I fit Lazer CAN Solutions myself or does it require a professional?

The harness is designed for straightforward installation with the correct vehicle knowledge. For vehicles under manufacturer warranty, check whether modifications to the electrical system affect warranty terms before fitting.
