Does anybody know if the replacements lights on a facelift conversion are better than t6 headlights - mine are terrible and looking at the price of replacing headlamps vs 6.1 facelift. Im wondering if the facelift will be my best bet. I have a start line with one piece bumper/grill etc
it will cost you a lot more money to face lift it, the standard headlights are h7 they’re better than the standard t6 headlights , I have a new set for sale, I replaced them with the thq ones as I liked the drl’s on them

Hi, I’m a bit unsure of terminology of headlights… but are u selling better lights than I have ? For a t6 ?
What @F2JON is saying is he has fitted H7 headlamps to his facelift. Transporter headlamps come in three options, labelled after the type of bulb they use: H4, H7, LED.
His lights fit a T6.1 only, so unless you’ve facelifted your T6 they won’t fit.
If you have a look at this thread you can see how the OEM T6 H7 headlamps are rated better than (what I’m guessing are your commonly fitted) H4 headlamps:
H4 To H7 Upgrade
Replaced my standard H4 headlights on my 17 plate kombi highline with genuine H7 headlights from a 17 plate Caravelle. It's literally just plug and play, no warning lights, no VCDS, just swap and go. Does require removing the front bumper but really not as bad as it sounds. IMO the H7's are...
Failing that, there’s other threads in that electrical sun-forum detailing aftermarket or OEM LED installs.
Let us know what you end up choosing (unless it’s just LED H4 bulbs… no one likes being blinded by those when oncoming)
Hi all
contemplating doing the T6 to 6.1 conversion, is there anywhere other than Travelin-lite that do a complete kit?
Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I cant find anything on full kits and s I'm lazy I'd rather click a button to get everything needed
thanks
Or does anyone on here do it?
My T6 is the Indum grey colour?

I’ve moved your post here as you probably missed the threads, it being called a ‘facelift’.
I reckon @Eddcameron will do them - you’re best to telephone as he isn’t online much
thanks - I didnt even see this entire section when looking

Morning all, first post from me that I’m sure has been asked a few times before…….
I have a T6 204 bi-tdi that’s just gone in for an engine swap at VW, she’s on 90k just and I’m thinking of treating her to a colour change.
This is my 5th van in 13 years and the only DREADED BLACK one I have owned. It shows every light scratch and swirl and it needs to be covered. I thought about a 6.1 but as I’m getting new everything under the bonnet I don’t see the point. So I’m thinking full repaint and I may as well do the front end……… can anyone with experience give me a bit of guidance please….?
Parts required, cost of parts, and I really want to keep the LED headlights is it possible that the T6 and 6.1 are compatible with the T6 BCM or is it a vagcom fiddle.
TIA much appreciated

there are quite a few such topics on the forum, but I will say that it is definitely possible
