I find them not much better than the originals
They are aesthetic only in my opinion,
Light output is no better than original headlamps on dipped beam
Full beam slightly better tho
Fitted the bulbs that came with them
TransporterHQ (THQ) Aftermarket Headlights

I fitted their 100w bulbs and I can say there not that good...one ballooned which wasn't good so I've decided to go philips as I've found them to be good and reliable.

Let us know how you get on with them
Noooo.... I'd convinced myself to go for these - primarily to replace the appalling H4's and also as I think they look really good - seems I would only be gaining an aesthetic benefit...
Reading through this long thread a number of people had opted for these instead of H7's, but commented performance was similar so seems odd.
I confuse myself reading this thread. THQ offer two options - super white bulbs or standard with loom - which do you have? I was looking at superwhite but as do some country driving thought go for loom - but seems with loom standard light are not that fab - just concerned if I go for superwhite then main beam might not be brilliant - swings and roundabout ideal would be both but seems that's not available...
Unless I've misunderstood...
Thanks...
have you managed to get to fit the bulbs yet?
Not yet, will get them fitted next day or two
My last Transporter T6 was upgraded with the aftermarket Travlin-lite LEDs and have to say, it made a massive difference to light output and overall light coverage with no errors.
My new van has factory LEDs, which are in my opinion a world apart from any aftermarket lights currently available, the VW units are amazing and imho aftermarket units have some way to go before they match the lighting quality.
However, we cant forget that at approx £400 for after market are cheap in comparison to the £2000 price tag of VW units, I'd live with the HQ lights any day if buying outright, but I'm a Yorkshire man

One thing to bear in mind with LED lights is that they won't melt frost or snow from the lens due to lack of UV rays that you get with halogen or HIDs. I've read that some OEM units have a way of circulating engine bay heat to combat this.....not sure how true that is though.
All led in the UK at least.
Sounds like he’s describing the THQ lights?
Didn’t they go through a stage of making xenon lamps, as well? That might be what the mechanic was talking about?
Similar to fronts, the main sidelight/brakelight is LED but indicator and reverse are standard lamps
