TransporterHQ (THQ) Aftermarket Headlights
THQ fitted for me and I’ve not touched them. Pics are within the thread.
1. Yes - Far superior light output to original fit H4's, I like the look too (wiring could be tidier)
2. Yes - First set had a manufacturing defect, THQ quickly replaced with no issues whatsoever
3. Yes - At £450 a bargain IMO, the ability to now drive the van at night - priceless!..
I'm using Philips +130% lamps (H7 & H1) rather than the supplied ones or the free 100W ones.

I've fitted these myself a couple of days ago, a lot better than the standard.
Does anyone else think they're too bright - or not level (sitting high) - I've positioned them a down on the light adjustment but dont feel the light pattern is right. If I crouch down on the drivers side looking at the light it blinding but on the passenger side I'd have to lay down on the floor (if that makes any sense) suppose I need to call in to an MOT place to see if they're aligned properly.
Road signs are illumined when I'm a good 60m away..
Might be just me not being use to a decent light..

Have you aligned them using the screws on the back? Mine were way out before I adjusted them

It wasn't something I had done before but there are plenty of videos on YouTube explaining howNope...That would be too easy....
I preordered a set of these and have been running them for a few weeks now. They were from THQ and i had many of the same questions that are on this thread as well as some other ones. I have a T6 T32 Euro 5 Kombi and the lights were 100% plug and play with no errors form day one.
The light output from them is much improved over the H4 and yes the low beam goes off with high beam on. I have just driven across Europe and the lights performed faultlessly for the week even with those silly stickers you have to use being on the opposite side of the road.
The fit of the lights is good, i cant say excellent as there is a slightly smaller gap on one side but this could just be my lack of patience / skill at working on cars and its not noticable unless you stare at it for a few hours and get some measuring callipers out
THQ have been ver helpful with me and the service has been excellent from them so just want to say thanks THQ for you explanations and patience with me
The picture is of my H4's (top) and the THQ lights (bottom) in same location both on low beam. Its a bit blurred but you get the idea

Fitted a set a couple of months ago and can’t fault them! Off to Europe in May, which stickers did you go for to keep from dazzling? Thanks in advance for your help.
I just got the ones from Halfords, Halfords Headlamp Converters

Hi, been reading this thread and if you stick to a H4, would it be possible to put a high power H4 bulb (100/90 w) into the standard unit at $5.99
Amazon.com: H4 9003/HB2 100W x2 pcs Hi/Lo Xenon HID White Direct Replace Light Bulb: Automotive
It's the wiring I'd be more worried about, modern harnesses run the minimum gauge of wire for the job. I ran HID bulbs in my H4 units which are reported to run much hotter than halogens and there was no damage at all. I only ran those until I could get some legal units that allowed me to see in the dark though. You could always make up a relay harness to run higher watt bulbs........and on that note, did anyone ever receive the new harnesses for the THQ light units? I'm interested to see if they ran a relay to get H1 and H7 working together for main beam.
I think the loom hasn’t been developed yet and working fully. Still VCDS is the best option

That is what I was thinking. Just mentioned it to see if anyone had tried it. Thanks
iHi Guys.
I have a T6 and need to upgrade the lights.
This has been an excellent read, however I'm still a bit confused, so if I let you know what I want could someone explain what I need to get.
I need brightest lights possible , which are legal, (still unsure if dipped beam needs to be on with main to pass MOT) and solid DLR lights would be nice.
The reason I ask is because many of you have now fitted something, and are happy, but my confusions comes in with H1, H7, LED, (untidy wiring) etc, and not sure whether to go with Travelin lite THQ or anyone else
I've been quoted £90.00 plus vat to fit them, which seems steep, what do you think?
Any advice would be appreciated

Are you trying to do bulbs only upgrade or complete headlamps upgrade?
Good question, I thought the only real option was headlamp upgrade,as this would give me the LED strip for DRLs.
Are you saying I could just upgrade bulbs, and keep standard DRLs, i.e. no LED strip for DRLs?,if so this would be cheaper, but not what I really want, as I like the look of the LED strips.

If you are looking for the brightest lights possible then you should go for genuine VW LED headlamps retrofit.
Have a look below.
T6 LED headlight retrofit?
My TransporterHQ lights came with bulbs fitted and then some extra bulbs which were brighter so I fitted these before the lights were fitted.
Fitting cost me £60 but that was mates rates so £90 seems ok based on the fact you need to remove the front bumper to fit the new lights.
Yes TransporterHQ do have a lot of wires but I havent had any issues with them and they are brighter than the standard H4's that come as standard.
I havent had any warning lights come on and I believe you can now get a LED version of this headlight from T6 DRL Headlights Black With Philips LED 6000K Dipped Beam Bulbs but I have no idea how good these are.
