    H4 headlights are not that bad?

    It’s not purely the H4 bulbs but the design and relatively small size of the reflector on the T6 that makes them poor. Our Up! has H4s but the reflector is about twice the size and the performance is much, much better than the T6 and no need to consider Up!grades.

    Loose pipe from filter

    Hi all, just been changing the H4 bulbs in my van I recently bought (T6 2018). Whilst changing the drivers side, I noticed one of the pipes from the air filter housing loose (item 20 on below exploded view). Can someone please tell me what the pipe is and where it’s supposed to fix to?? The...

    Looking for someone to code a towbar and H4 headlights for LED bulbs - Cheshire /Manchester

    As title, 2018 Highline Kombi Fitted towbar (factory preparation /PF Jones short loom) Also I’ve fitted my Philips LED H4 bulbs from my T5 which trigger an error. I have Carista, and have enrolled on the Beta scheme but have no experience with its capabilities. I suspect that I’ll need...

    Upgrading H4s headlights to full LED headlights - programming high beams?

    I recently purchased full LED headlight units to replace the factory headlights, which originally had H4 bulbs. These new headlights are advertised as plug-and-play, but the seller mentioned that programming might be necessary for the high beam if the factory units used H4 bulbs. To avoid any...

    H7 Halogen Bulb Upgrade

    I have the GT200 as well and am very impressed, even with mine being H4 bulbs. I’ve always had the ‘upgrade’ offerings from either Philips or Osram and find Philips to have the edge in terms of beam quality and lifespan so just go for their best claimed bulb at the time. Interestingly when one...

    Which headlights do I have?

    I'm not sure if it's been mentioned about why they need coding, but with H4's when you switch to main beam, dipped beam goes out. As you probably know, H4 bulbs have separate filaments for dipped and main beam. If both are lit together, the bulb will get too hot and go pop. The H7 lights have a...

    T6 Bulbs & Lamps

    I have the Philips GT200 as an upgrade H4 bulb and it’s good enough for me. I sold a Citroen Xantia back in the day just because the headlights were so bad - that’s how fussy I am. You can buy Philips LED upgrades now but despite them lobbying for years they still aren’t classed as road legal...

    H4 Headlamp Bulb Upgrade

    H4 what? Halogen bulbs? LED bulbs? Do you have a picture? I’m assuming LED as CE marked halogen bulbs are built to a standard so won’t be too long. If LED there is info on the forum (try the threads linked above) about removing the shield and/or rear cover to allow them to fit. Worth noting LED...

    These headlights are ####!!!

    In my humble opinion (which is no doubt wrong) only half of the reflector in a H4 headlight is dedicated to providing a dipped beam pattern. 100% of the reflector in the H7 headlight produces the dipped beam. The surface area of the H7 reflector is much larger than the effective dipped beam...

    Surfer looking for help - Kombi or Panel Van?

    Hi, ok so even with Kombi sounds like there's still the need to rip out side panels and add decent sound proofing - good to know, as is your view on the front bench seat and hadn't thought about less assess & step through issue - thanks. What was the reason for dropping the fuel tank and...

    Surfer looking for help - Kombi or Panel Van?

    I’ve had 2 Transporters… the first was a panel van with barn doors (140 DSG) that I converted to a full Kombi myself. The current one is a factory Kombi (150 DSG). My van is my daily driver and neither have been converted to a camper spec so perhaps my use case is closer to yours than someone...

    T6 OEM LED-headlight retrofit

    I guess it's just internal fault detecting tolerances are different on different circuits. Seems more to be working per design? I do not expect another BCM to behave any differently.

    T6 OEM LED-headlight retrofit

    Hello, car has returned so I have tried disconnect battery. No change. Should it be caused by BCM itself ? Its strange that faults are related only to H4 bulbs. Not DLR, parking lights or reverse lights (all are also LED). I am thinging about trying of another unit with same part number. Or can...

    Which headlights do I have?

    Simple, quick upgrade is up rated H4 bulbs; budget cost £25-30. This probably won’t be enough to satisfy. Fashionable, bling option is THQ lights, budget about £500 plus fitting Recommended option, in my opinion is Shuttle or Caravelle headlamp units. OE, look good, good light output, fit led...
