T6.1 OEM LED headlamps use 6 pin connectors and are controlled via CAN by the BCM.
The wires are:
CAN H, CAN L, GND, PERMANENT 12V and LOW BEAM.
And T6.1 OEM H7 setup uses 10 pin connectors and headlamps are fed by direct connection to the BCM(no CAN).
This is similar to T6 H7 setup but with some differences. T6 H7 setup uses 5 light bulbs per headlamp and T6.1 only 3!
The wires are:
GND x 2, IGNITION 12V, MANUAL RANGE CONTROL, LOW BEAM, HIGH BEAM, FLASHER, SIDE/DRL.
I seriously considered it but needs new BCM which is then tied to radio/cluster etc etc not sure it’s feasible in any scenario
Chances for your LED modules(light source) failure are marginal.Am I being silly to worry about the T6.1 LED lights when they break? The H7 bulbs can be easily replaced.
Sorry, I have assumed incorrectly that you own a T6.1 with OEM LED headlamps.Hmm maybe I‘ll see if my dealer can give me a good price for the LED upgrade! I was thinking of just using the THQ LED H7 bulbs - so much cheaper and seems easy to install myself. Has anyone here tried them?
Sorry, I have assumed incorrectly that you have T6.1 with OEM LED headlamps.
I will be very surprised if your dealer will actually attempt such a retrofit/upgrade.
THQ LED H7 bulbs - no comments.
Waste of time in my opinion.Sorry I wasn’t very clear - I’ve basically got a T6.1 being built right now and I didn’t opt for the LED lamps (so expensive). I was thinking of trying (1) brighter H7 lamps like the OSRAM Night Breaker or (2) THQ LED H7 bulbs
Hi mate, are they brighter than the standard H7 the T6.1 come with? Or more for colour/aesthetic?Transporter HQ have an aftermarket T6.1 headlight coming out later this year and if their T6 ones are anything to go by, it will be a very good quality upgrade with LED bulbs.
Hi mate, are they brighter than the standard H7 the T6.1 come with? Or more for colour/aesthetic?
Thank you!The LED bulb upgrades on the T6 lights are 100% better and brighter than The factory halogen offerings.
Hi again, just to clarify - are you referring to the H7 LED bulb itself, or the whole headlamp assembly/fixture replacement?The LED bulb upgrades on the T6 lights are 100% better and brighter than The factory halogen offerings.
