TransporterHQ (THQ) Aftermarket Headlights
They definitely make the THQ projector sing on diped beam now and look the same as Mikems.
Just get one of Bryns GTR Ultra or the Novsight LEDs for the main beam now?

what u got in main beam ?
I like that dubber36, I think the THQ projectors control and cut off very nicely the HIDs, the combination is very good.
I was wondering for a minute why the beam is higher on the left, then the penny dropped.. Doh!
My THQ / HID are some of the best headlights I've ever had and to compare, my daily driver is BMW adaptive LEDs

If I want to fit HIDs to my THQs and can't be bothered reading 48 pages
is this the one to buy? Is there any disadvantage to HIDs over LEDs?
It's all subjective, but having tried pretty much everything, they are, (in my opinion) the best.
Disadvantages... just the slow warm up time as with every aftermarket HID.
Both LEDs and HIDs 'should' fail the MOT, but swapping back to halogens for the day will take about 15 minutes.

I am the same so a set of these in the THQs and the work out the box without warning lights or changing setting in the ecu . This for h4 standard set up on my van at the moment .If I want to fit HIDs to my THQs and can't be bothered reading 48 pages
Thanks for all your work as it could help a lot of other .
If you have H4's you need to code dipped beam to stay on with main beam to get them to work 100% properly. Or buy the additional loom from THQ / Travelin Lite. This is a must if you fit HIDs as you'll be turning them on and off going between dip and main beams, and HIDs don't like that.
THQ V2 with HID bulbs fitted today- not as tricky as I might have thought and even managed not to break anything.. first thoughts are it’s a big improvement, I haven’t driven at night but will take a couple of pictures when I do. I need to find someone with VCDS to get main and dipped on together but dab works fine and no bulb warning. Overall I think thq lights are pretty good as a unit, the fit was spot on. I tidied up the wiring a little but will just keep and eye on it. I bolted the ballast to the battery divider on the passengers side and doubled sided taped it on the drivers side- see pics. I also noticed the round plastic washer thing that came with the bulbs is a cutting template for the rubber cover which worked really well. Huge thanks to @dubber36 and @Mikem for blazing the trail on this one!
Dipped is very bright- almost feel it’s too good! Main beam is fine but pretty yellow in comparison. I went past quite a few cars and didn’t get flashed or hear any crashing noises...
1st photo is dipped and second is full beam- sorry they are sideways!
Looks great, no dark spot in front of the bumper, like the H4s.
I think the THQ projectors control the cut off and beam pattern really well, so, although really bright, it's such a clean, defined pattern that you don't annoy other road users.
I'll watch out for you changing the mains to LED soon, you can't live with the yellow for long!
It’s definitely a sharp cut off.. I think you’re probably right about the next mwhat’s involved in the LED H1 change? Is it possible without the removing the bumper?

Very interested in these bud
Sorry fella, but I have a buyer and a reserve lined up already, you’re 3rd in line though!
There's two things I notice in that picture:
- The orientation of the n/s bulb inside the holder must be wrong as you can see the shadow of the thick wire that runs to the end of the bulb
- The beam pattern is not supposed to join the lower cut off from the n/s light beam against the higher cut off from the o/s beam. If you're going around l/h bends you'll be blinding oncoming traffic with your n/s light (just because you've not been flashed it doesn't mean oncoming drivers have not been dazzled)
Where are you?
Thanks- I’ll have a look at that, I did notice the line type shadow in the near side light.. in simple. I was going to find a moment to check for myself from outside the van how it would effect oncoming cars. In addition to switching the bulb orientation I’ll angle the whole unit down a bit..
