I have incredibly poor headlights on my T6, I can hardly see when driving down rural roads in the dark. I went to a VW specialist who has suggested changing the bulbs for Osram LEDriving XTR H4 Cool White 6000K bulbs. However I have had several conversations since about LED bulbs and the fact...
I have these led lights they do supply a loom but I did not use it and they work brilliantly,what a difference in light .only thing I had to do was remove my bulb error with vcds as when I put full beam on I had a error bulb
I'll go along with some of that. We have a Tiguan with Matrix LED headlights. They are extremely clever in the way they can stay on main beam and just mask the areas that other vehicles are in. They are good in that you don't get the transition from main beam to dipped when there is other...
H4 and H7 are both halogen - for most cars it doesn't really make a difference as both are the same power - just specifically on the VW Transporter the reflector design in the headlight that takes H4 lamps is generally regarded as pretty bad and makes for a much less usable light, whereas the...
Hi there. I’m getting a set of these for our T5.1. ( I know I’m in the wrong forum!!) Did you wire up the Triple R/s as position lights and main beam. Your photos show two different patterns to the light throw. On our transporter we have H4 lights and even with led running lights it’s bloody...
Headlight upgrade had not made my list, focusing on things like a heater and radio upgrade.
Given most of my driving will be in Scotland, I will have a serious look at this.
How can you tell I have H4 lights, it is a 16-plate TRANSPORTER T28 S-LINE TDI BMT.
Okay a last Check
I can buy a set of h7 headlights with F markings for 200 euro's.
By comparison, a h7 unit with LED lights in them, how is that compared to a full LED head unit? By percentage?
Like units equiped with LED: H4 =20%, H7 = 70% Full led = 100%?
How should i look at it?
I...
...conventional reflector than that in the H4 headlight not a projector lens as in the stock VW led or THQ type led lookalike.
Putting a decent H4led lamp in the H4 headlight will make it more than a match for the H7 headlight similarly equipped during the normal 90 odd percent of driving when...
Be careful what you buy, those Stealth lights are auxiliary lights and you can't use them to supplement a dipped beam, which is where the standard H4 lights are most lacking.
I'd go with Transporter HQ lights, which many of us have.
As @JumpShip says do you have the H4 or H7 headlights?
The H4 units seem to be just inherently a bad design, noticeable by the sheer number of threads about people upgrading them to the H7 units or LED
Jump in to one of the main headlight threads here...
I still haven’t checked the illumination on the switch on mine but I think it’s weird that there isn’t any indication that the lights are except that other lights that aren’t on illuminate. My thinking is that with the h4 headlights installed the light from the led indicator would over power the...
Trucks and cars drive around here like starships during winter and there is no limit to full beams so people can go nuts.
I`ll be back in a few months so could get any kits or have it installed there. Is transporter HQ the place to go for headlight upgrades or any other recommendations?
Cheers...
For Sale
My genuine H7 Headlights.
They come with all bulbs including Osram LED DRL bulbs and Osram dipped and full beam H7 bulbs. I will also include some halogen DRL bulbs if the LED are not to your liking.
On my van, I had them VCDS coded by @Deaky so that when main beam is on, dipped...
I've not taken them out on the road, yet. I will do that probably Monday evening to see how they look. I guess it's fair to say that super close to the garage looks terrible, but further away less so, maybe on a road they could be fine? Pipe dreams maybe.
Thankyou both for the replies, it's...
Potentially the last update for the van (saving for a wedding amongst other things)
Since my ownership in April 2024, I've slowly been updating the bulbs to LED. I've converted every bulb including
* Interior (map light, step light, courtesy light)
* fog lights
* rear lights
* reg plate lights...
