TransporterHQ (THQ) Aftermarket Headlights
This has been covered in 'rubbish headlight' type threads previously - I did try a couple of expensive 'reflector' HID kits (not ebay specials) in my H4 units. First kit was 55W and even after turning the bulb warning light off with VCDS, the vehicle would sometimes turn one of the lights off or it would start flashing slowly. Second set was 35W which still caused a bulb warning from time to time. Light output was brighter than stock but it still gave out that horrible puddle of light with the added extra of lots of light scatter above where the cut off should be. On these the light source is moved within a shroud to swap from dipped to main - you could have both lights aligned on dipped however on main they both pointed at different heights. I got the supplier to send a few bulbs for me to try out and every single bulb had a different delta between dipped and main light direction. The other issue is you need to butcher the bulb cover to fit the dipped/main solenoid into the unit. I'm running THQ with halogens now and am more than happy with them.
Thanks for the reply @Mooncat, sounds like I'll stick with my LEDs in H4s for the moment, hopefully Knobshite will eventually send the Canbus filter they've promised as the £63.99 LEDs are brilliant in my 58 plate Daihatsu Popemobile... the wife thanks me for her new headlights of truth and self righteousness!
Fitted my V2 recently. Gorgeous to look at. Indicator looks great. DRL looks so good. BUT.... in the dark? absolute wank. £520 for pretty much a more handsome H4 headlight.
If I had the time and it wasn't a bumper off job i'd be sending them back.
And they've the nerve to say "you have probably fitted the bulbs incorrectly...."
Yeah, course I have.

HIDs. Job done.
My full beam is a bit pants so thought I might try some, but thinking again it's probably more to do with not having coded dipped to stay on with full. I can see plenty far enough up the road, but lose a lot of light from directly in front of the van.
My THQ v1 lights were a decent improvement on my OEM H4’s. I mean, they’re nothing like factory LED’s or anything but they at least make driving in the dark safe...
There's the rub, of all the T6s out there with full factory LED there's no piccies available on here, Youtube or on t'interweb in general showing what we're trying to achieve/match with our £20 here and £500 there alternatives.
You've only got to go back to the page 41 to see my £19.99 LEDs in an H4 enclosure, only one beam at a time compared to @dubber36 THQs all guns blazing with with Halogen
