T6 THQ Full LED Headlights

[TheGrapeEscape]

I'm still wondering - I have OEM led lights and I love them in terms of low/high beam, etc. The only thing is look of those alternatives... But as it's subjective the only valid question is what are disadvantages of replacing OEM led with Ali/THQ (beside quality which tbh is not always valid argument).

Are there any issues with i.e. automatic leveling, automatic high beam assist, etc?

If you've got factory leds, don't change them for any aftermarket ones....makes no sense

Have you got some sort of protector over the front?

I think what you can see is just the protective packaging film, pulled back.

It wouldn’t be a simple plug and play swap. There would be wiring changes needed, quite a lot of coding to do and redundant parts from the self levelling.

My Ali Express ones.
Seem solid enough (moisture ingress) but time will tell.
What a novelty it'll be, to be able to see on low beam

The moisture is normal. It will go as you use them.

So... yes and no It doesn't make a sense to improbe lighting but to me if I would swap - only for the design...

Yep, this is the "not worth it" part... However, I'm wondering if there are any compatible T6.1 style front lights which will be plug&play? They looks much, much better... if you add dynamic indicators...

Had to drill hole in air box to make AliEx LED fit. Anti rust paint, so no fitting tonight

What was that for?

What was that for?

The up/down adjuster screw.
It's still accessible from above, outside the box, it's just a few mm too long

Oh. Didn’t have to do anything like that. The only thing that was crap with mine was the left right adjustment. You need to take them out again

I didn't have to use the up down screw. The hole was so the whole unit would fit.

There's a tool like a long screwdriver which will grab the teeth that adjust the left/ right without taking them out.
Plan is to get one and sort it all out on a flat surface, etc.

Finished fitting mine today. Loads of traffic and no flashes from blinded drivers. Easily passed 100 cars.

No warning lights on the dash and now I can see. Happy days
