Lots of detail in the following thread - H4 to H7 Upgrade
H7s are a lot better than H4 on dipped and main beam for the reasons mentioned by Dubber36. In my opinion they are perfectly acceptable and that’s in comparison to the all singing and dancing twin LED on my Passat. They are also much...
THQ should be bringing out their full LED lamp units for T6 soon (unless they already did and I missed it). I’d go for those looking at the video of them, just my 2p worth.
I'm presuming that you have H4 headlights?
If so, HIDs won't work. The halogen bulb has two filaments. One for dipped and one for main beam. Each one focused on a different part of the reflector. HIDs are a single light source that will give you essentially main beam regardless of which beam...
Osram has these bulbs listed as street legal led replacements. Looking at product details of H4’s they state this:
Looking at www.osram.com/nb-led it does not list UK as having approval
I’m in the same boat, really need to upgrade the headlights. Just fitted some better H4 bulbs to go on with for now ( Phillips race bulbs). Not tried in the dark yet but not expecting massive improvement.
I may wait for the THQ led’s to become available to buy. Does anyone know if these new...
Do you have experience of comparing my H4 headlights to your H7 ones and that would be a no so why get so self righteous?
To avoid any further keyboard bloodshed just imagine that my led lamp laden H4 are brighter than your H7 version and leave it at that otherwise we just sound like angry old...
You can't adjust them, there's level sensors on the front and rear suspension that automatically adjust the lights based on the van's pitch.
Check you're not in 'travel mode' as this lowers the dipped beam slightly to avoid dazzling cars when you're driving on the right - it doesn't adjust the...
Prepared it for All-in major service and MOT next week. Today I have:
Removed Canteras
Checked brake pads/disks
Fitted Claytons
Over the weekend I have still got to:
Remove adjuster deletes on rear
Refit rear adjusters and take up spring slack
Possibly remove H4LEDs and refit candles
It’s just the drivers side I have. I ordered fog lights and that arrived. So I’m not entirely sure what unit it is. And it’s no use to me.
I’m replacing my H4’s with THQ V3’s so will have the H4’s and also the original T6 rear lights spare if anyone is looking for any.
Generally speaking, T6 headlights are referred to by their (dipped) bulb type, so you’ll hear talk of the standard three options as “H4”, “H7” and “LED headlights”.
T6.1 headlights come in either H7+H15 or LED options, so people often just refer to the halogen H7+H15 as “T6.1 headlights” and...
I've got a T6 Startline with H4 headlights where the glass/plastic is covered in a trillion little stone chips so don't look great when lit.
I see that there are lots of these available at low cost so I'm wondering how big of a job it would be just to replace like for like?
And whilst I'm at it...
For those that have the transporter HQ headlights with the LED option, is there enough heat given off to melt off and snow or ice over winter? On my old defender I had to use LEDs with an inbuilt heater in the lense to keep them clear, so just weighing up whether to go LED or H4/7.
I've read reams of posts on here many saying that they have successfully changed the standard halogen headlight H4s to LEDs but had to mess about with cutting holes in the rear light covers and adding resistors to stop flickering headlights. As LEDs are getting better all the time, are there...
