I’ve gone from sh1te to bright :D Finally got all my light upgrades fitted and working. I’ve fitted THQ V3 all black limited edition headlights. I really like the very dark look they have and think they work well with the purple. I got the upgraded LED main beam bulbs and the night breaker...

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...

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...

Yes, they are fine as they are CE approved halogen.

I bought this set of H4 bulbs and there is a significant improvement, I will not change to H7 for now OSRAM NIGHT BREAKER 200, H4, +200% more brightness, halogen headlight lamp, 64193NB200-HCB, 12V, Duo Box (2 lamps) [Energy Class A]...

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 are not comparing apples with apples. All you are doing is proving an H4 headlight is brighter with a more powerful bulb. No $h!t, of course it is! So would any headlight. And admitting to the fact the H4 has dark spots in front of the vehicle on main beam - that must be great. For those...

Will Clarista do the coding so they both work or does it need to be VCDS or whatever it is? Just fitted THQ headlights and am delighted but would love them both to stay on on full beam.

Stuck the phone on the dashboard with a bit of bluetack it's a miracle it lasted past the first corner or the bit where I blindly drove through the hedge into that crop of winter barley... Phone is an Oppo Reno 10x zoom from 2019. Rich @RedUn took some pictures showing the difference between his...

In defence of my position I've posted a video of the results of swapping out the standard H4 lamps and putting in some moderately expensive but more efficient 4000k led lamps. If I wanted more light when it was actually possible to drive on main beam it would be easy enough to add some form of...

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...

Not told off but probably corrected, because the H7 headlight is far better than the H4 on dipped beam with standard bulbs. This is because the H7 dipped reflector produces a much better spread of light as it is only trying to do the one job. Coding the H7 is nothing unusual or magic, it’s...

Cheers for the reference Garry but the bollocks that people come out with regarding the H4 headlight on the T6 is by turn valid and not valid. There are literally thousands of these H4s in daily use without the roads being waist deep in the carnage caused by drivers with these headlights unable...

I think that may be who I contacted. There were quite a few of us "moaners" back in the day........obviously not enough though. In this day and age, H4's are not good enough. I believe they dropped them altogether for the 6.1......certainly on the Highline......I suspect feedback from...

This is not just a VW problem. So I doubt there is a legal claim possible. My Vauxhall Omega lights were rubbish and that was a car capable of over 140mph. Changing them to zenon HID headlights sorted that easily. My Outlander has excellent LED dipped lights but as they stay on, the poor main...

H7s with uprated bulbs are the most cost effective route, have you read the "H4 to H7 upgrade" thread? Philips Pro bulbs were the best lifespan that I could find.

...fuel by keeping the voltage low and raising it when using engine breaking. A watered down version of regenerative braking. Vans with H4 headlights have a combination of 4 problems - 1 - H4 lamps are always going to be a poor compromise as they have to do high beam and dipped beam. 2 - Poor...

Not being funny but you always get the arse when I put the case for my real world experience of having put brighter lamps in the H4 headlight and back it up with pictures showing that improvement. Might help your argument if you could back up your opinion with something similar for the H7...

The only way the H7 headlight will be brighter as an headlight overall is with main and dipped beams both running at the same time. The reflector in the H7 type is simply a smaller conventional reflector than that in the H4 headlight not a projector lens as in the stock VW led or THQ type led...

Exactly that. Thanks for clarifying, perhaps my original post wasn't clear. T6 H7 drivers side required.
