Who is happy or unhappy with the standard H4 headlights?

Yes they they are, and you get extra daytime running lights so you get 4 x H7. I have them, they are pretty good, and have commented a couple of times that the L+V Plus pack gives you decent lights for £900 less than the LED's
What's the plan @Paul Morley, you going to drill the rear light cover and mount the extra bits in the engine bay somewhere? There's enough space especially for the passenger side.
Be very interesting to see the results of this.
I'm happy for now with the 150+ bulbs, but if funds don't allow for a full headlight swap then this is the route I may have to go.

Exactly what I went for. Clearly not as awesome as full LED package but perfectly acceptable.

Interested to hear what's out there in the aftermarket division. In Australia, we aren't even given the option for LED lights at all. Caravelle's can spec them, but Transporters cant 
I've persistently annoyed dealers enough for information to ascertain the process for installing genuine units and control modules. Although the cost is as ridiculous as original pricing, the process can be difficult.
Purchase of the lights and control module is the easy part. You have to make sure the CCU (Central Control Unit) can be enabled to drive the LED modules
The aftermarket units that Travelin-lite are soon to make, must utilise CANBUS cancelling adapters I can only assume.

Not to sure yet we will have to see what happens during the fit I would prefer not to drill anything but this may Have to be the case
I have fitted these H4 Philips Luxeons, they do fit, but you have to leave the dust covers off, there is no way the driver box will fit into the back of the headlight unit, and the other problem is making sure the exposed connections on the VW plug don,t go to earth or get wet, they really need to go into a terminal box, BUT before you get this far, plug both of them in (only takes 2 mins) and test them on hi & lo beam, I had bulb failure lights on the dash, so they have gone back, Back to Square one,

Mine came from here H4 Hi/Lo Philips LUXEON ZES Headlight Kit - 4000 Lumens havent had chance to fit yet as got central heating problems but hoping to do them next week
I dont know how long you have had them, but honestly 5 min job to test, use the passengers side, take off the dust cover pull the lead off the back off the H4 bulb and plug it into the Philips unit, just let it sit on the bonnet slam panel, try hi/lo beam and see if you get a bulb failure light, then do the same to the other philips unit, if ok, great fit them another day, if not send em back, let me know how you get on

Test them first, before trying to fit them, I fitted mine and then had to take them out because of bulb failure light on the dash, just take the conection of the back of the H4 bulb on the near side as you have a bit more room, plug the philips/Led/ Hid units in one at a time, just leave them sitting on bonnet slam panel, try them on hi/lo and flash, and see if you have warning lights on dash, let me know how you get on. Make sure the VW plug connections don,t go to earth they are a bit exposed
