The H7's are not bulbs, they are a different light to the H4's. The big difference is that when you're on main beam it has both dipped and main beam lights on, so this gives you excellent visibility. They also have different DRL's which are the best looking IMHO. Check out the H4 to H7 thread on here.

Many thanks for the summary, I thought it was a case of a simple bulb change, got my wires crossed, will head over to the H4/H7 thread tonight for hot chocolate/easter egg reading

Great thanks for link Mfwic

That thread is relating to an upgrade if you get them specced from factory you won't have any of those issues. There are also other links with that thread which may prove helpful.
Don't get me wrong, LED's are the dogs dollies but are expensive. H7's work brilliantly, a lot cheaper and IMHO are a bit more classy.
H4's are just bloody awful.

Thanks Mfwic looking forward to reading the reviews, these lights factory fitted must be what Nick explained to me and sounds like a decent wedge to be saved without sacrificing decent night vision

Thats very true but even more worried about all other extras that might mount up, when you go on that configurator its like being a kid again in a sweetie shop

Thats interesting that yours was first owner and Dannyb6467 was 2nd register. Did they also keep the logbook for the 12 week period

No. Log book came with van

The only way you can sort your headlight dilemma is to see them in the dark. I struggled with price when choosing options but was swayed by the feedback on here. Shortly after taking delivery of mine I found myself in a T6 with regular headlights and was shocked,even on main beam oncoming traffic wasn’t bothered. In my mind money well spent.

Hi all

I've decided to go for a 204 manual and am just awaiting availability from a dealer, yesterday another dealer called me who had a pre registered 204 manual available, at a good price but it has 2 side doors, never considered this option before so could anyone advise the benefits and minus's of having 2 doors on a T6

Thanks in advance

I’ve got twin sliders, great if you are going use it as a day van or daily drive.

If you are thinking of converting it to a camper with kitchen, then it limits layout options.

Agree with @Montecha above.
I have twin sliders and it enables you to get out the back of the van whichever side of the road you park on. You can have an awning on both sides.
It’s great for a day van, not so good if you want a standard layout campervan.

Yes day van but one day would like to maybe put a bed in or table (nothing too fancy) as could be handy whilst working away from time to time. Would twin sliders be an issue for such a scenario

I have a Kombi bed in mine, there are no issues with it.

Thanks, would bed or table prove awkward

That sounds positive

Will have to trawl the net and see if I can find any pictures to reference off

 

[Tommy]

Also forgot to add, the van being offered is in oryx white, how does this rate in looking after compared to metallic or just the same

Thanks

I have a double slider.It's been a godsend for me, dropping the grandkids of ect,gives you more options like
