TransporterHQ (THQ) Aftermarket Headlights

Andy have you tried the new Carista update has a "lamp out" monitor tick box?

Any idea if this feature been removed by chance? Need to code lamp monitor out for new led tail lights as it’s messing with my reverse cam.

You need to turn off PWM not bulb monitoring. Not sure it can be done with Carista

Cheers mate, I ran through all the menus on Carista with no avail, so I’m assuming it’s a vcds job

What age are your vans?

I had a 68 plate for a few weeks and did many VCDS tweeks. An out of the blue unbelievable deal saw me changing it for a 19 plate one. My VCDS wouldn't do a thing, so I spoke to Gendan who confirmed that MY19 vans had changed in terms of electronics. So I needed to get the new VCDS cable.

When it came to headlights, I went for HIDs in my THQ dipped beam. I tried all sorts until speaking with the company I bought the final set from. They also told me that the MY19 vans were extremely sensitive and even with bulb monitoring turned off, most CAN BUS kits would still trigger the warning light. And sure enough, the kit they recommended worked perfectly.

So which ones did you get ?

Some great info in here - I’m just about to go for a set of THQ V3 in black. I’m unsure about white or crystal diffuser - is there much difference in the 2? Does the white drl diffuser minimise the individual leds you can see with the crystal? And if so is it that noticeable. Any pics or comparisons would be great!

As far as I know they only do the crystal ones now as there were issues with the indicator not being visible enough in bright light with the white ones

It depends what's more important to you, solid DRLs, or DRLs and Indicators that can be seen by others in daylight?

If I had my T6 time all over again, I'd be buying the new 'proper' LED headlights.

@Tom-E86 In case you’re still undecided - There is another option, as mentioned by @dubber36

More expensive than the V2 & V3 but ticks all boxes

Well that’s what I thought but they appear to have either option on their website currently

These look awesome. Can’t find them available anywhere yet though?

 

[Fusion1966]

Need to get installed by a THQ installer at the moment. Not for sale to retail at the moment

I had mine done by the Dub Doc Shop but others are also offering them

They definitely fit the brief mate. They’re available to THQ’s authorised dealers on a supply & fit basis only at the moment, I believe. Will then make it onto the website for general sale at a later date, but I don’t know when that’ll be…if you’ve got someone local who’s able to do it, I’d defo recommend having a chat with them

As stated above, they are only currently available through the dealer network. I've done several sets at the cave now and the feedback has been incredible. They are several levels above the older V3 etc. Easily comparable to the genuine VW LED units.

They do look like the complete package. Unfortunately you’re about 4 hours from me I think as I’m in Essex. Would be interested in prices though.

I'll DM you with my pricing, but there would no doubt be someone closer to you who can help.
