H4 swap for H7

[DeanoP]

Just seen this on Facebook. Looks promising. It's from a company called Transporter HQ. They are currently testing the prototypes on volunteers vans.

Yes i think they will be releasing them soon, im sure they will be a popular upgrade given the slightly underwhelming performance of the standard headlights

 

[Ed Webb]

Do they need some kind of CE approval before ready for commercial sale?

 

[andys]

Yes Andy was on here the other day looking for volunteers for vans to test on in return for a discount. Think £500 ish was mentioned if I recall correctly. I think they're basically H7s with LED DRLs. They are using the distinct "dot" LEDs rather than the bar ones though which maybe dates them a little bit?

 

[Loz]

Only one LED and one halogen though...

I didn't realise that, I thought they were both halogen

 

[Loz]

Im confused now, so only led drls?

 

[andys]

I might have got the wrong end of the stick but I thought he told me they were H7s with LED DRLs. We need some clarification from Andy, but I've forgotten his name on here

More pictures for you! Apparently all tested and working on every age and model . There are two colours, black and silver. The lights on the right are black or silver left.

Looking at the pictures I'd say yes. It looks like one halogen and the other is H7?

 

[Ed Webb]

I guess a few night shots would be good.

Then I'm even more confused, I thought H7 lamps were halogen?

They are!

 

[Dave Coughlan]

Look good, but shame they are using the "dot" LED as this makes them look too aftermarket and dated, for me anyway... If it had been the more continuous LED, 100% would buy.

Hey guys,

I've noticed a few H7 style headlights on ebay and currently have H4's.

Is it possible to straight swap them without much hassle?

Cheers

Has anyone heard anymore about these from transporter HQ?

Winter is coming so it won't be long until 50% of the threads on here are about rubbish H4s

I'm also not a fan of the dotted LED's. Besides, this upgrade is to fix the 'tealight' issue, not issues with DRL's. I'm not sure how long I'll be able to resist upgrading as the standard H4's are by far the worst headlights I've ever had on a vehicle. I can't understand how they can even be legal! But I wouldn't upgrade to ones with dotted DRL's, especially not if I'll be spending over £2k!! @Pauly, is your kit solid LED's, out of interest?
