No, but just about to order some! Did you give them a go?
I tried them, they were a little bit better than the factory fitted ones (that's starting from a pretty low point!) but still not good enough in my opinion, so I upgraded the actual lights. I then used the Nightbreakers in my daughter's Peugeot and she said they were a huge improvement.

I did fit the Osram nightbreaker 200 H4 bulbs without problems and the wife is happy, she no longer has to walk in front waving a red lantern! 
Actually there is a noticeable improvement, although nothing to get too excited over, but I can live with the headlights now.
As far as I can remember they are better than the 6V headlights I had on my 1965 T1 split screen! but that is not saying much.

I’ve just fitted some night breaker 200. They have made an improvement
Philips Ultinon LED H4 Pro6000 - Germany Approved
Hi All. Has anyone here fitted the Philips Ultinon LED H4 Pro6000's? Im in Germany and they are approved for the 7HC van. Philips claims they are canbus fault free, but...... 1. switching the high-beam both flash (pull) and constant (push) methods immediately gives Bulb error light. 2...
I DIY fitted some H7 units which is a bit involved removing the bumper. Programmed the dipped beam to stay on with main beam and they are brilliant compared to the H4s.
I paid £200 for the lights and I estimate it would take a paid mechanic no more than 2 hours to fit plus the coding.
For me this has been one of the best van modifications I’ve done and driving at night is much safer.

did you find them on eBay? Do all H7s replace H4 headlights without having to make modifications ?
I got them from @BognorMotors
Yes, straight swap.
They will need coding for dipped and high beam together, but you can ask the forum for local help, or get Carista and do it yourself.

H4 To H7 Upgrade
Replaced my standard H4 headlights on my 17 plate kombi highline with genuine H7 headlights from a 17 plate Caravelle. It's literally just plug and play, no warning lights, no VCDS, just swap and go. Does require removing the front bumper but really not as bad as it sounds. IMO the H7's are...

Looks great!
I've got myself the Philips Ultinon Pro6000 H4-leds.
How did you manage the dust cover with the H4 bulbs? The Led bulbs are so much larger with the cooling fan. Thanks!
Did they need coding and can you get the dust caps back on to stop moisture
I had to modify the back of my headlight dust caps by drilling a hole with 40mm hole saw and then stuck on the black plastic top from an empty spray can using black pu adhesive.
Apparently you can get deeper dust caps on AliExpress as putting these deeper Led fan cooled lamps in various halogen headlamps is a "thing" these days.
