Having a sort out prior to having our house renovated so need some space.
The suspension was replaced at 50k miles. Rear shocks are corroded on outer tubes but are fine mechanically. Fronts fine. Springs included with both.
H4 Headlights were replaced around the same time. Fitted with LED...
I guess you must eat a lot of carrots........they are shocking compared to any other transporter I have owned. Nice to be easily pleased as saves your pennies for something else to change ha ha
Shocking state of affairs if you ask me.
You can definitely use these without any warning lights and they are a straight swap with no extra wiring.

Yeah fully legal. You can get them fitted at certain places. So-low dealers can get the full LEDs but you have to get them fitted with them.
I’ve been told by THQ they aren’t coming out anytime soon. You won’t get much change out of £1k from the full LEDS fitted.
I have the Phillips race...
My 5 things
Koni sport shocks and evotech springs (-60)
THQ LED headlights
Replace tyres, (A lot of converters use cheap awful tyres and put 275/40/20 on 8.5j rims at the front. Bad idea and not safe)
Shuts like a golf door strips
Tailored carpet in cab area

Mines the same just fitted a new head unit, I've got the THQ LED's when you turn them on the reception is very poor. I've just ordered a bee sting aerial to try.
Well, I ordered them from new even though the cost was rather shocking. Such a worthwhile investment. See dash cam pic below, taken near Machynlleth tonight.
Welcome and nice van. Your suspension options are complicated because of the DCC. I chatted about this with Steve at CRS as my Passat has DCC and seems to go through the OEM electronic shocks at an alarming rate. If springs or shocks are changed then a DCC delete kit is required (approx £300...
Hey @Wills,
Did you install them by yourself?
I suppose they are not self-levelling?
Did you have any issues connecting them?
I've got a 2017 Cali Ocean with H7 headlights (with LED bulbs). They're good but I've head enough and want to upgrade as I'm planning to keep the van for another few...
Well not today, but yesterday ! Visit to Chris at Van Cave. Now have koni active short shocks, 60mm drop, gloss grilles fitted THQ led headlights and sequential side indicators. Oh and not to forget Van Cave sticker.
Chris is very particular about his work, which means so much to fussy ocd...
I did the following in this order-
Pendle remap to 172bhp. Booked it in before I picked the van up.
Headlights - THQ V2 as the original ones are crap.
I have done other things like Vanshades etc but suspension and maybe 18” wheels are on my next to do list. I hate the body roll so going for...
I have the GT200 as well and am very impressed, even with mine being H4 bulbs.
I’ve always had the ‘upgrade’ offerings from either Philips or Osram and find Philips to have the edge in terms of beam quality and lifespan so just go for their best claimed bulb at the time.
Interestingly when one...

I’ve recently fitted LED headlights and taillights. Ever since, my reception is absolutely shocking. It was ok before. Stations I used to listen to are now very patchy at best. What options do I have? I have a heated screen so would it be a fin? Thanks
