No thanks. Not sure how I missed that.
TransporterHQ (THQ) Aftermarket Headlights

I've just emailed CHris and asked to be put on the waiting list for the V3's. Take my money. And the LED upgraded bulbs ;o)It’s a really good round up of their lineup. Would probably be good to hear some feedback from someone who has actually run them though but sorry can’t help there (I’m waiting for the v3s)
Thanks guys.
I just bought a set of THQ v1, DRL headlights, and a set of the 35w, 4300k HID,s that were linked earlier in this thread.
The wiring on the lights is a little chaotic for me, so I tidied it up with some spiral wrap and cloth loom tape.
I then mounted the ballast and resistor pack to the light housing with 3M VHB tape.
Fitted them to the van and went out for a drive.
The difference is AMAZING.
The 4300k is perfect, and the light is very uniform and the cut off is very sharp.
I've got no bulb warning lights, flicker or non functioning bulbs.
I marked the beam hight/cut off of the old lights on my garage door before removal, and simply adjusted the new lights a small amount to match.
There are 2no 8mm bolts for each lens to adjust left/right and up/down.
I'm glad I took a picture before fitting to remind me.
For orientation, this is the drivers side light taken from the back of it. (so the light is facing forward).
Big thanks to all that have contributed to this thread, in particular, dubber63 and Mikem.
Just need to find someone with VCDS to help me code now.

Hi Fezza. how did you get on with these LEDS in your main beams. Any warnings etc.. and is the output ok, I'll be fitting my hids soon and would like to get the main beams sorted while everythings out.
Thank you , way to go then...... Stealth 55w hid's for the dipped H7 's and those Classic LED's for the H1 mains.
Ahh, I thought you'd already fitted them.
Managed to get to a local multistorey car park to check and adjust the new lights.
I adjusted the headlight aim to 1.2% inclination which basically drops the beam 120mm over a 10m distance.
I'm really pleased with the light output and the night time driving experience now.

Hiya folks gotta problem now.... fitted some of those Lazers yesterday to add to the crap main beams...... awesome ! no flickers or warnings, fitted the HID's for you 55w kit today..... awesome once again no flickering or warnings. Dipped stays on with the Main on mine with the THQ v2's, as soon as I switch to Main.... up comes the bulb out warning, it stays on with the lights switched off. Anyone know what's occuring ? Thanks .
I think this has been reported by others who have tried a 55w HID kit. I remember seeing a post from someone that after contacting the supplying company they were advised to go for a 35w kit instead. Pretty sure they did so and all worked well afterwards.
Thanks for that Chris, i'll hang on this for a while though just in case somebody else has a suggestion, its a bit of a ballache keep getting that bumper off and on ,i'll give the firm a bell tomorrow if they're working of course. I thought it might be possible that the decoders on both highs and lows might be having a bit of a fall out.
Hi Johnny, nothing to do with the HIDs, 35 or 55w work fine, it's the LEDs on the main beam.
The LEDs don't have enough resistance, so the Canbus thinks there's a bulb out.
More likely to see it on main beam flash.
A pair of resistors in line, sorts it out just fine. Google it and you will see a few companies doing options, mine came from China and I now have no problems.
Do they flicker slightly with the engine running?
You need to get out and look at the lights to notice, most do, but the resistors sort that as well.
I don't think you'll have much luck getting anything on mail order right now, but that's the way to go.
Other option is to get someone with VCDS to switch off the lamp warning, that works as well.
I think dubber36 did that?
This from page 43..
So, resistors sorted out the lamp warning and flicker.
Main beams are fantastic.
55w / 5000K HIDs are brilliant on dipped and do not dazzle other road users.
You did it the other way around with putting the LEDs in first, I had no problems with the HIDs, but when I added the LED main beams, that's when I got the lamp out.
As to why your LEDs were fine before and not with the HIDs, might be a cumulative thing with the Canbus?
In any case, HIDs and LEDs with resistors work fine.
Good luck with it!

Thanks Mikem, I couldn't understand why the leds were ok before I fitted the hids though, don't think they were flickering either . I'm pretty sure the firm that make the Lazers do a set of resistors so I'll bell them tomorrow. Cheers mate .
Ref: MIKEM and CHRIS...... These T6's are weird beasts, as dusk has fallen I've just been out to line my new hids up to next door's fence where I'd taped the old beam lines profile to..... spot on, fantastic ! Main beams on..... NO BULB OUT WARNING !!!!! I had forgot to mention Mikem that my original High beam bulbs are still connected, i've chipped into one of their lives to feed the Lazer's relay, hence there must still be some resistance showing. Watch this space though cos' i've got a sneaky feeling that the gremlin could very well return. Thanks to all anyway !!
Did you have the engine running? It can make a difference!
