Boy these new fangled motors are getting a bit complex

When I were a lad we just bolted a couple of cibie oscars to the front of the Moggie thousand with a switch and a relay

now you need to be a quantum physics master just to put fuel in the right tank .

ok Thanks Mooncat. I will put summat with less draw so the wimpy wiring can not set fire to my new bus .
and eat loads of carrots .

So Chris, how many watts are the bulbs, can't see from that picture?

My THQ lights also came with those 100W LimaStar bulbs. I checked with THQ and they said they were road legal and wouldn't melt my wiring, but I still wasn't convinced so just fitted some Philips RacingVision bulbs.

Philips Ultinon LED are tempting too!

May be your notes are here --> These headlights are ####!!!

A question: have you monitored the voltage when headlights are on when driving? E.g. at cigarette lighter socket. As the T6 has so called smart alternator and thus the voltage fluctuates quite a lot, so I would expect to see the regular headlights to get brighter and dimmer along with that. Unless there is a voltage stabilizator involved... I can't do that (observe the lights) because I've got LED headlights and they have their own power supply. Just wondering if having headlights on turns also the alternator to higher/stable voltage level...

That's them! I was more focussed on whether the wiring was up to the job rather than what the alternator was providing. I certainly don't notice the light intensity changing though.

the thq lights and bulbs are utter pants and not much better than hem h4 , put philips led in , amazing difference .

THQ told you 100W lamps were road legal?

 

[nobbyq]

the light output isn't much better than h4 , the leds are dots not 1 solid light which i find looks crap .

Which philips leds ?
and have you got any canbus faults .


I have just put the Philips extreme ultinon leds in mine .
and do agree they are a heap better but not legal .
they at least bring them up to all the other lights on the road .

the cut off is good and sharp and in the last week I have not had anyone flash me when on dipped beam .
but I do seem to get the bulb light every now and then on the dash .
I am guessing as the leds warm up the resistance gets a bit lower and the canbus kicks in with an error light

If i get Transporterhq to fit my new lights do they have the equipment to be able to adjust them correctly or will i still need to take the van to an mot station to set them up?

Was going to read this but 31 pages! Any chance of a clean up and a summary of the findings?

It currently seems largely irrelevant as both THQ and TL versions are out of stock in all variants.

I've been using mine for quite a while now and very happy with them. Std bulbs which they come with do give you a better view of the road however I upgraded to LED bulbs and the light quality is awesome. I do get a bulb warning sometimes so I do need to keep an eye open for when they develop a bulb that doesn't throw an error up on a t6 but it's not the end the world. I'm just happy I can see. Oh, and they look awesome too

Oh, and yes mine are travelin lite versions but they all mostly the same really.... just wanted to clarify!

Travelinlite do a headlight harness for the sonar lights.

I thought I read somewhere that THQ and Travelinlite headlamps were from the same manufacturer?

Yeah, that's what I've heard a few suppliers say. They come from the same factory with just a few variations to differentiate themselves.

 

[Deleted member 7013]

Thq have some with the sequential indicators coming soon...

 

[Sabre]

Anyone any recommendations on THQ or travelin lite for the OEM light units?
(Apologies if you're reading this THQ / TL ... ;-)
