Great post, thank you.
I've just put Nighteye LED replacement H4 bulbs in - loads better!
Now my sidelight and fogs look really yellow :D does anyone have suggestions for LED versions? Looks like 501 capless and H11?
Also side note: if anyone is local to Abergavenny with VCDs would like to...
Yeah, I get what you’re saying but I want to stay on the legal side of things. I’m very friendly with my MOT guy having taken 4 or 5 vehicles every year for the last 20 odd years and don’t want to put him in the position of having to tell me they’re not mot compliant when I already know it. ( He...
Yes, E revision and later will have the revised DRL bulb holders, ie 1005E 1006E.
LED DRL bulbs are a good upgrade and then whatever H7 bulbs you prefer. H7 LED are not road legal.....
Thanks for the help. I'm sure that would work - but decided to upgrade - the Mrs complains she doesn't like driving van at night as H4's so useless, so this will help somewhat. I did mention full LED upgrade but go that look - so sticking with THQ ones. THQ's own full LED still not available.
Something road legal.
Passed a T6 with what was either LED bulbs in standard units or LED aftermarket units the other night… bloody appalling for us coming the opposite direction.
Could barely see the road ahead - and I was driving a modern car with LED headlights!
I’m still on H4 lights but...
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 can thoroughly recommend the Philips GT200 bulbs for the H4 lights. Just make sure you buy them from an authorised dealer (auto bulbs direct or Powerbulbs) as there are lots of fakes on eBay and Amazon.
Aren't the powers that be trying to get dazzling lights reduced, probably aimed at headlights rather than running lights. As for error's I'm guessing that the current is monitored (probably just a set value) i.e. 7A ok less than 3A error it just depends what the LED takes. Roughly 10% of halogen...
Hi,
Read lots of threads here on headlights and bulbs but not sure my question has been answered - or if it has I’m confused and don’t want to make a mistake.
So have decided it’s time to get rid of the H4’s before I end up in a ditch ;)
They currently have H4 Philips Racing Vision 200+ (but...
Cheers mate, will take a look. Noted on the bulbs. So is the THQ Kit they sell with the H7 LEDs for like 550 not road legal?
Thanks for the recommendation on the Phillips, they have popped up a few times. I will take a look.
Have a search for ‘H4 to H7 Upgrade’, there is a massive thread that answers every conceivable question on the subject.
In essence, it’s change the bulbs, fit H7 headlamps or fit LED headlamps. Each has pros/cons and supporters/detractors.
I have led headlights so these are surplus to requirement
fitted with osram night breakers one light has a scratch on it, but does not affect the light beam/pattern in any way.
i'll include a little loom which i think converts it from H4 to H7 so won't need coding (but i can't be 100% sure as it...
These are the lights in case anyone missed them - VW Transporter T6 (2015-2019) - FULL LED Headlights with Audi style Dynamic Indicator and DRL (RHD)
Full LED unlike their previous models that only had LED DRLs. They have also tested them and shown they are brighter than the factory LED...
Thanks @Sackmycook. I will have a look for some of them.
Not sure what my existing headlamps are but think they are the original halogens and they are not LED or Zenon.
Hi, I've searched but couldn't find an answer.
I haven't been driving out late at night and with the nights drawing in, last night was darker it's the 1st time I've experienced since driving the T6.1 that the headlights dont seem to throw as much light/dipped beam ahead on the road. The light...
It all depends what you are expecting. Caravelle Execs (that weren't ordered with LED headlights) have H7 halogen headlights which are pretty good as basic twin chamber headlights go. Many upgrade to them from H4 headlights for a vast improvement. They will fit upgraded bulbs for better output...
