If you did get curious about the markings, this might help decode:
T6 Full LED Headlights plug and play, who has them, what are they like?

Any night shots showing beam spread and cut off?
I'll get some. Beam cut off is a perfect line and high beam is super bright.
Any aftermarket light will never be as good as oem, i think we are all aware of that. For me, they cost the same as THQ lights and even with a £90 HID kit these are far better output and the main beam was almost non existent. The DRL is very bright and the indicator is also super bright and very visible in sunlight......i've read many people complaining about the dull indicator. Both of these factors are a fail with the THQ light for me and always bothered me since i had them. Also i feel these have more of a factory look to them.
My 2p worth lol

I'm sceptical with aftermarket for that exact reason.....usually junk lol
I've said this above and funds permitting would have gone this route but at £2k+ for retrofit it's not cheap.......i'm also not sure the light output would justify 4x the price of these lights. Btw these are not blinding at all as you can see the beam cut off clearly.
Can vouch that the oem led light output to me is spot on.
I appreciate that some did not have these fitted or have vans with these, however having previous vehicles with the factory upgraded headlights I made sure the transporter I bought had them fitted.
I think the total cost is around 3k.
A nice bulb upgrade is the osram halogen nightbreakers. The route I would have gone if I had the standard headlights.
There really is a lot of non experienced anecdotal advice proffered on the forum regarding after market Transporter headlight combinations blinding people.
In my case I've yet to experience this on the giving or receiving end from a Transporter, I am frequently dazzled by the brake lights of the vehicle in front at traffic lights where the driver is holding the car on the foot brake, thank you electronic hand brakes.
I'm also frequently dazzled by the active matrix type headlights on the various jacked up urban SUVs that populate most city centres these days.
Any height difference or indirect path between oncoming vehicles leaves me in my Astra being dazzled by the jacked up SUV version of my car coming towards me as the so called intelligent matrix struggles to shut down the relevant part of the LED arrays in their headlights when their sensor finally sees my vehicle.
The normal "auto" setting of most or all LEDs in the array being active ie all guns blazing with main and dip beam being on at the same time and the response time of the controlling sensor is the problem for the victim rather than the lesser chance of being dazzled by some random fitting brighter light sources in their passive headlights.

Thank you for explaining why I'm being dazzled driving my old (fairly low) Fabia, in the Van its less of an issue. This year I'm getting cars coming towards me where I can't decide whether they're on high beam or not, no sure it matters cant see owt anyhow. The ongoing battle with dazzling I have commuting at this time of year is nothing short of dangerous, so much so I'm considering getting a newer car
It's not so much the electronic parking brake, it's the auto hold function. Many cars keep the brake lights on even without the drivers foot on the pedal. The only way I can turn off the brake lights when stationary in my BMW is the select Park (which I try to do as often as I can out of courtesy)
Not sure if I'll manage to post the YouTube link as I'm a numpty but here in Northampton budget large empty box SUVs with pitifully small engines are popular with the current model Hyundai Tucson having such a powerful drl and headlight combination that it can be driven with your eyes closed, only the red tinge and the odd vein to indicate that your eyelids are firmly shut.
Give me at least ten minutes while I try to post the right video while deleting the various anatomical and endearing pets/animals being rescued videos....
I'll be back shortly

I’ve had the LED lights from THQ for a couple of months now. Still have the warning light on the dash and told it’s a coding issue they are still working on but no date for a fix. Other than that they’ve been great, very bright and a major upgrade on the standard lights
If and when I get a coding fix applied I’ll let you know
