Head Lights or Alternative

[Rob The Daddy]

Hi Everyone,

I took the Shuttle to Penzance; and when I drove us back to the hotel last night, in the dark and rain, I didn't think my Shuttle Head Lights did the job.

Could someone recommend a solid set of lights please?

Thanks. Rob

H7's on a Shuttle. Imagine if you had H4's...

I'm in the same boat (or van..). Been looking at the CANBUS LED replacement bulbs, but it can't be that simple, can it?
I need to research it first...

Just had a read up.
This is quite interesting:-

I have H4s with Osram nightbreaker 150% bulbs which are a slight improvement.

H7 headlights are better especially with nightbreakers.

Transporter HQ lights next

OEM LED lights are best but mega money to retro fit.

Just ordered some Osram Nightbreakers to try.

Have you done the wiring loom mod too? I did it on my T4, and from memory it did help. By how much is not clear though.

Thanks Everyone. As soon as I get back to Bristol today, I'm reading this feed properly and doing research.

We've just retro-fitted Oem Led's to our van that had H4's in. It was expensive but the lights are absolutely fantastic. It's gone from having the worst headlights out of any vehicle i've ever owned to having the best i've ever owned,they really are that good

Driving back to our hotel at night, with the driving rain and annoying vehicles hugging our backsides added to the challenge. The roads were quite dark and the lights were a 'struggle'. Definitely upgrading. Still in Penzance for now, but certainly be at the computer later to look.

As previously mentioned you should definitely checkout the lights from Transporter HQ, you might struggle with getting stock as the sell out so quickly.

I just got Transporter HQ V2's, delivered about 3 days after I ordered them, I fitted BiXenons in the projectors, delighted with them, this has transformed night driving for me.
