Thanks for the comprehensive reply.
DMF is definitely now on my list and the Reimo noise is one I hadn't heard of so, thank you.
From reading on the forum and looking at the van it looks to me like H4s unfortunately. I have first hand experience of these in driving Irish rain last year in the...
Hello and welcome to the forum.
Is it a private sale?
With the conversion, you’ll naturally check it all works as it should.
Otherwise see if the poptop is noisy - some members have complained the Reimo bed board can be squeaky when driving.
See if it’s got habitation certificates, and evidence...
Headlight upgrade had not made my list, focusing on things like a heater and radio upgrade.
Given most of my driving will be in Scotland, I will have a serious look at this.
How can you tell I have H4 lights, it is a 16-plate TRANSPORTER T28 S-LINE TDI BMT.
Yes it's got stock H4headlights unfortunately and 80% of my driving is in darkness.
Thanks for the link, I'm currently looking at options for LED headlights, I keep adding THQ V3 to the basket but not pulled the trigger yet. From what I can tell it's only the DRL that are LED on them and I'd...
Welcome and nice van. Have you H4headlights? If so their poor quality is well-documented and many choose to upgrade them to H7 or LED. I went to LED and couldn't even give away the H4's! Have a look here:
H4 To H7 Upgrade
Hi,
Chucked in sub to support forum and try and use extensive knowledge to purchase a pair of OEM H7 for 2016 t6.
H4’s are unsatisfactory.
Can’t spring for none MOT compliant THQ etc.
Have been looking on gumtree/ FB/ eBay.
Not sure how to put this in appropriate section if mod needs to...
What are the chances of both bulbs failing at the same time? I’d be looking somewhere else first. Wiring/fuses etc.
I’ve had those Twenty 20 fitted for quite a while no issues and I know a few other people on here use them also. No one has previously mentioned a failure as far as I’m aware.
Bumped my old H4headlights a month ago, in favour of the H7s. Fitted Twenty20 DRL’s and it seems both have failed. Looks like I’ve now got to take the lights out again to replace them. Can anyone recommend some quality LEDs, that will last at least a bit longer. Such a pain this time of year to...
As mentioned they are H4. You are correct on the potential MOT compliant options plus a full OEM LED upgrade (£££££!). I went the H7 route and am very happy with the performance, both dipped and main are much better than the H4. The lights are somewhat hard to come by and normally go for about...
There are MOT compliant H4 halogen lamps that will provide a very small improvement but in my experience, to get a significant improvement you'll have to change your headlights for H7 or proper LED units. There are many pages of content on this forum about both options.
Can anyone recommend a headlight bulb upgrade on my 2019 kombi with H4 headlamps. Got to be brighter than original factory fitted bulbs.They must also be road legal to pass mot and don’t throw up any errors on dash. Thank you all.
So, can someone confirm these are h4headlights?
If so, I understand MOT ‘okay’ upgrade options are:
-Caravelle H7
Versus THQ as an eg V3 as a plug and play option. (Bumper off pre fit etc).
Am I correct?
What is the likely cost of sourcing if self fit? Have to do something about these...
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...
