LED Headlight Specification Example for Export Programmes: Drilled and Slotted
LED Headlight Specification Example for Export Programmes: Drilled and Slotted
This is a worked specification for led headlight in a drilled and slotted programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The drilled and slotted version exists because the duty cycle on export programmes is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually premature wear on the first batch.

How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — PVC Coated Fabric, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- gravity casting
- surface grinding
- rubber vulcanisation
- powder coating
- laser cutting
- cold forging
Where this example applies
Programmes that run drilled and slotted most often specify this build for export programmes. Related applications include off-road bikes, scooter fleets, trailer axles, agricultural trailers, passenger cars.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 4.0 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 3000 pieces per line.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
