H7 or H4 headlamps? Differences?

[Irvine101]

I am about to take delivery of a Highline Transporter but I am confused as to which headlights it will come with.

From the forum I understand there are 3 different headlights; H4's, H7's and LEDs

I didn't upgrade to LEDs (possible in error based on the opinions on here) but am confused as to whether the Highline comes with H4's or H7's.

Users seem to recommend the upgrade to H7's over H4's but my review of the VW configurator and brochure only seems to show one option as regard to headlights, being an upgarde to LEDs.

The configurator seems to show the Lights & Vision Pack as standard on the Highline. Is the Lights & Vision Pack effectively this upgrade to H7's

Any thoughts will be appreciated

H4 are standard
Think H7s are part of the L & V plus pack ??

 

[Irvine101]

Based on the configurator the L&V Plus package doesn't seem to be available any more, only the standard L&V Package. Therefor I am still unsure whether a Highline comes with H4's or H7's.

Any ideas?

I’ll bet it’s H4.

Pretty sure it’ll be H4 lights as standard equipment just lists halogen lights, when it’s H7 lights they list twin halogen lights. Check out standard equipment list on a shuttle as a comparison as they’re H7 as standard.

Hi

Just looking at the lighting kit upgrades on the t6 shop and could someone tell me the difference between H4 and H7 kit ?

Also looking at the interior upgrade kits , has anybody else used these ? Are they a lot brighter than the originals ?

Thanks again

H4's are 2 pieces of glass that have a slight glow on the front of your van. H7's are very good headlights.

If the inner 2 lights are your drls then you have H4s, if your drls are thin horizontal strips at the bottom of the lights you have H7s

Drive in the dark. If it feels like you are driving with candle light you have H4’s like me

Just to be clear the lamp kits in the shop are not really upgrades more of a different colour, they are white lamps instead of the factory yellow and are not intended to give increased output
If you are looking for upgrade lamps you would be better looking at the +130 or +150 lamps from osram or Philips etc

I'm looking forward to testing my H4s for the first time. From I can tell I will be sucked into a black hole the moment I turn them on and spat out some time in 1971...
