Yep 100%.Are you sure they are H7s?
Have been following this thread for some time, thanks for all the info.
I have got hold of some OEM H7 headlight units from a Caravelle at a good price from Ebay. They are Valeo/VW units with a manufacturing date on the sticker is May 2018. They look in great condition but wanted to check the DRL terminals for melting etc so wiggled the DRL bulb holder out from the housing (not the easiest to get out and back in) but anti clockwise twist to unlock and a bit of confidence and they unlock, the terminals on the DRL bulb holder look fine, no heat damage.
Planning to fit LED DRL`s either the Osram w21w. w3x16d. or Twenty20 582 , any one see any issues using these bulbs for DRLs?
Planning to fit Nightbreaker 200 or 150% H7 into both main and dipped.
Planning to fit LED side lights, Osram w5w. w2 1x9 5d
All seem ok any words of wisdom?
Watched the videos for bumper removal but none show situation if you have Fog lights, I did read that you disconnect the loom via a terminal clip on driver side as you remove that corner of bumper and that fog lights units are attached to bumper so move as one away from van with bumper.
Is that right? any words of wisdom?
Oh and finally i have Carista Beta so will be selecting the "Dipped stay on with Main beam" option on that.
Anything else i should be aware of?
Thanks very much, think this answers the question that I need to get the correct bulb to ensure correct resistance so bulb out dosent come up, and can’t just rely on fixing everything with Carista or VCDS. Much appreciated.I fitted these and had no problems with the bulb warning light:-
582 (7440) Twenty20 CanPlus LED Canbus Bulbs W21W
Twenty20 have released the next level of 582 CanBus compatible LED bulbs, the CanPlus range. These are packed with the latest market leading technology to eliminate those pesky error messages in even sensitive vehicles.www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk
There is also a cheaper alternative which may also be ok, so could be worth a call to ABD before ordering:-
7440 Twenty20 Impact Cree LED Canbus Bulb 582 12V W21W
7440 Can-bus Super Bright 360 Degree 6 LED bulbs The new 582 super bright LED bulb requires only 2W of power increasing bulb life up to 4,000 hours, 360 LED design for maximum light output and brightness.www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk
Edit: bulb warning disable for this circuit is not possible with Carista.
Edit 2: yes, the fog light connection is on driver side, easy enough to disconnect. The real trick is remembering to reconnect it when putting the van back together.
Great thanks, have seen it as an option on the App but knowing in reality it works as expected is good to know.Highline will be fine - just to reassure, I used Carista to enable dipped & main together without issue when I fitted H7 headlights to my Highline.
Just tried to buy them but they were sold already.. probably to someone on here!These just popped up again on FB. Price has been dropped to £70View attachment 178163

Will give Auto Bulbs a call and see what they say, don’t really want to put it all back together and get bulb out errors then have to experiment and wallet-dent trying different options.
And you have no issues with indicator flash being less visible with a brighter DRL next to it?
Wasn’t me, promise! I had been following this thread for a while but was always too late. The set I found on EBay hadn’t come up on here yet and werent that well advertised tbh not sure how I found them. Paid £160 delivered.Just tried to buy them but they were sold already.. probably to someone on here!
Thanks! Pictures are really useful. Indicator looks plenty bright enough with LED DRL inI have no concerns, the indicator (standard bulb) still has good visibility.
Also, I am not a fan of DRL switching off whenever adjacent indicator is activated, but if that would be your preference once installed then an option to enable this functionality is available in Carista.
It's hard to capture in a photo, but below images were taken when I originally installed the headlights (before I switched to LED position lights):-
