Hi,
I'm looking to upgrade my standard H4 headlights, which are dismally dim. I've a 2017 T6 campervan. From the forum, the Transporter HQ LED DRL V2 headlamp units look great but a bit too pricey. I see that the just changing the bulbs to Osram H4 Nightbreaker should give 150% light output at a fraction of the cost. Anyone got experience of this and would I have issues with warning lights on the dashboard, or not passing the MOT etc? If not, it looks like a viable alternative for about £25 instead of £450 ++ for new lamps?
If they weren't aligned and adjusted properly or didn't have a satisfactory beam pattern you shouldn't / wouldn't have got through the MOT. Main beam isn't such a worry because in theory oncoming cars shouldn't be getting an eyeful of your main beam.Not being funny but how about the scenario where instead of blinding every other poor driver out there I use the switch on the dash to motor down the headlamps saving the world from yet another end of the world scenario?
In my self righteous world I'm a safer driver with brighter H4 headlights, at the very least I should be able to see what I'm potentially going to hit, rather than plough on blindly.

I may be wrong but I don’t think you should replace H4s with LEDs. Fairly shore packaging will say ‘off road use only’
It doesn't matter what bulbs you put in the H4 headlights, you'll never get good light output, they're just rubbish. I tried several extra bright bulbs, the improvement was tiny.has anyone tried this upgrade bulb kit?
