    Bulb upgrade

    If it’s a T6 with H4 headlights I would recommend not wasting money on upgraded H4 bulbs as they will still be crap. Instead invest the money saved on some secondhand H7 lights. They can be found for £70-100 and are pretty easy to fit. The thread linked above (H4 to H7 Upgrade) has all the...

    These headlights are ####!!!

    Is that the ’reasoned debate’ where no one else’s thoughts count unless they have a video? And you feel the need to blame their ‘type’ or accuse them of having an ‘agenda’ to support your case? Nice try. You may not have noticed, but I have not directly compared your setup to H7s (or anything...

    Sold Genuine H7 Headlights

    Hi All, So, I've come to the decision to sell my H7 headlights, as I really fancy a set of the halo version from THQ. I bought these from here back in June this year, and have only used the van for a trip to Wales after the purchase. I believe I've covered 472 mile with them. In my ownership...

    Replacing H4 headlight units

    Thanks guys I've got the +200% bulbs in my current H4 headlights and they did make an improvement but I'd like further improvements with H7 if I can pick up a set in good condition!

    Which headlights do I have?

    Then it sounds like OEM / aftermarket H7’s or retrofit the OEM LED headlamps.

    Headlights so dull

    As mentioned above, don’t waste your money on upgrading the H4 bulbs just go straight for some H7 headlights. H4s will always be poor. I’ve just fitted some H7s that I got for £70 off FB. A pretty simple and quick upgrade (about an hour) that makes a huge difference to headlight performance. You...

    Which headlights do I have?

    There is no UK approval. LED or HID bulbs cannot be fitted in existing halogen headlights and will be an MOT failure. You may get lucky and pass but that is just the tester doing a crap job! Quote from MOT regs: Existing halogen headlamp units on vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1986...

    H4 DRL Bulb upgrade

    You have H4’s. Fitting LED bulbs to headlights that aren’t designed for them is illegal and will fail your MOT.

    Replacing H4 Bulbs

    No the H4 bulb is only for the dip/main beam The DRL is a H11 I believe. You can swap this bulb to LED but to be honest its only for aesthetics as DRL's don't add anything significant to the light output at night. Upgrading the main/dip H4 bulb will make a small difference but don't expect...

    H4 To H7 Upgrade

    Thank you, so if I buy a set of caravelle H7 headlights this will improve the lighting at night? Or will buying better H4 be on a par?

    Difference between H11 vs H4 and H7 as a dipped beam

    ...inefficient projector. H11 and 7 lamps will generally be better than H4 as the lens is designed for the one job (dipped or main), whereas an H4 bulb has both dipped and main in the one bulb so the lens is comprised to do both duties. To further complicate matters, putting an LED or HID...

    H4 To H7 Upgrade

    Welcome. I can't comment on the THQ lights but I can compare the H7s to my 2018 Passat dual, bendy LEDs so potentially a useful comparison for you. With Osram +100% Cool Blue Intense halogen bulbs (i.e. road legal and MOT compliant bulbs) they are not a million miles behind the Passat (but a...

    Headlights so dull

    I've just fitted Osram 200% Nightbreaker H4 bulbs and they are noticeably better, on rural Cumbrian roads (so similar to you). Whiter light, greater throw and a noticeable bit brighter. Worth a try at £30 and a few expletives during the restricted access fitting.......... Great service from...

    Headlights so dull

    I also upgraded my bulbs in my H4 units to the Osram Nightbreakers. Much better than standard and fraction of price of changing the light units. I know they are not nearly as good as H7 etc but I am happy with the difference compared to how much I spent.

    Headlights so dull

    Am I right to assume you have to change the entire light unit to upgrade to the h7? I’m a bit of a newbie to all this!
