TransporterHQ (THQ) Aftermarket Headlights

[nickwt6]

Bad luck on the bump!
I have V3s & would probably go V2 if I was buying again. The DRL strip needs to be brighter & I just think it looks cheap being as dull as they are, but thats just my opinion.
Does then means that the indicator is barely visible with a hint of sun about, although as cgtmiles said above, so many people dont bother indicating these days anyway!
I did buy the LED H7 bulbs too & they are great

Well this happened to our T6 last week!!!!!!!!!!! To say the wife was unhappy when it got hit at work was an understatement. Anyhow , whist its being repaired I'm updating the standard factory lights and as the heading suggest should we opt for the V2 or V3 of Transporter HQ's headlamps?

Thanks

Andy.

Hi.. just had a thought ...if they are replacing the light/ lights could you possibly pay the extra and get factory led units as an option

Well at least the damage is reasonably confined and an ideal time to upgrade when someone else is paying for it!...im guessing the arse end of an artic clipped it?

I went v1s with leds and love them, please ignore the light on the floor as I needed to moved the led round to sort it

these were fitted last week

I'd get a set of OEM H4's to go for the stealth look at night

But I'd go for the V2 or V3 depending on if you like the changes on the V3.

Hope you get your van back and repaired soon

Spot on mate , it was only the wife's second day back in work after being on furlough, an hgv misjudged his over hang a rear when turning. At least he stopped and gave all his details.

Thanks for all your reply's, it gives me something to think about.

I know the thread is a bit old now but has anyone fitted alternatives to Transporter HQ?
I was looking at Van Tech £399 or Advanced In Car Technologies £599 (both supply only)
It would be great to know if the AICT ones are worth the additional £200!

You mean these Volkswagen Transporter T6 LED DRL Headlights These are THQ V2’s - I know because I bought a set from @Inthezone and he’d bought them from there.
They have updated bulbs but not worth the extra £££

 

[VDubnewby666]

Thanks @RichDavies82 that's useful to know.
I guess the ones from VanTech are probably the same as well?

 

[VDubnewby666]

I've just had a reply to my query from AICT - they say they have a new V3 available - description is exactly the same as THQ. They're selling their version at £599!!!

The van-tech ones SPECIAL OFFER VW Transporter T6 LED DRL Light Bar Headlights | Van-Tech are a good price compared to the identical ones from Travelin-lite T6 DRL Headlights (Led Dynamic indicators)

 

[VDubnewby666]

Yes spotted that @RichDavies82 seems a good price at the special offer, my only issue is I need them to have the levelling motors in as I have an adjuster in the cab. Waiting for them to reply to my email

I know the THQ ones have the motor and I’m pretty sure the others will.

Thanks again @RichDavies82

I instructed the garage who are repairing my T6 to order these, they should be being delivered tomorrow, once I get the van back i will post some pictures and let you know what the fitment is like.

Got my van back now, I'm impressed with the V2 lamps from Van Tech, fitment is good, no dash lights and no flickering when the indicator is on.

They look cool. Good to see your van back in one piece

Update, been for a drive out to Castleton today and on the way over we had a bulb warning light come on. Checked all bulbs they were OK, did notice that on these headlamps dipped beam stays on when main beam was activated, on the way home no warning light came on. Will change the coding over the weekend to solve the issue.

Cheers
Andy.
