TransporterHQ (THQ) Aftermarket Headlights

[dubber36]

I'd pop some halogens in the dipped and test your LED H1s that way first. If you have a bulb warning light with dipped beam, the van will think they are not on, so won't give you main beam. Do they work when you pull the stalk towards you? You don't need dipped on to flash the lights, but if you have no lights turned on and push the stalk forwards, nothing happens.

The chances are they won't work with the HIDs either, unless they are super fancy pants CanBus ones that don't give a bulb error or flicker.

What age is your van. My 19 plate is far more temperamental when it come to these sort of things than the 68 I had before it.

I put the standard h1s back in and nothing. I tried all the above they just don’t wana work!
I was looking at those terminator HIDS you posted up might give those a go

What bulb are you using in the H1 and have you a link?.

@fezza68 I bought h1 ZES led bulbs think they are made by jamieWIN. They give a bulb out on dash but they do give excellent light output.

Thats what i want to avoid,the bulb out warning on the dash.Pair of Latest LED Headlights H1 6800 Lumen Main or Dip Beam Conversion 9-32V
I've been looking at these..

 

[Smr72]

Apparently of all the canbus vehicles the t6 is the hardest to avoid bulb out even different t6s in the range react differently so it’s very much trial and error. You could always switch bulb monitor off with Vcds

 

[dubber36]

All bulb monitoring does is turns of the warning light. The van still knows somethings not right, so has a strop.

Does anyone who has fitted HIDs have factory auto lights? Does it cope ok with the frequent on / off, like when going under a bridge?

 

[Mcdubbin]

I have factory auto lights and HID dipped bulbs- only had them in a week but they seem to handle it fine- to be honest I haven’t really noticed the slow warm up time at all. I have ordered the loom to keep them on with main beam too so hopefully that will be the end of the light saga.

I have noticed a couple of times in the last two days that the drivers side led dlr doesn’t come on— on/off seems to sort it out and it’s intermittent but anyone else running ThQ V2 had this issue? I can hear a very faint crackle noise if I pop the hood and listen closely as it comes on- wondered if this indicates a dodgy connection..?

 

[dubber36]

Fine with auto lights. Probably because they don't turn off straight away, like the second you pass from under a tree.

Any recommendations for where to purchase some decent h7 hids?

Thank you

Ok- I definitely have an issue with the driver side DLR on my THQ V2 headlights. It’s 50:50 whether or not it comes on with key insert/unlock and even the f it does initially come on it doesn’t always stay on. Any suggestions? Think I might call THQ and see if they can replace but a bit of a drag to have to take bumper off etc again..

 

[Smr72]

If you’ve had bumper off before you know what’s involved, if it’s only one side you can loosen bolts and clips only on that side. Pull it off and sit it down on something about 3” below usual bumper position. You’ll need to take all grill clips off though. I did it in about 10 mins off and on and 5 mins to take headlight out and in.

I also had an issue with my drivers side drl. Under investigation i found it to be some loose wires that if i found the sweet spot it stayed on so cable tied it in that position and it was ok. While having some work done at thq i mentioned it to andy and he just replaced the headlight for me.

thanks- good to know it’s not just me being a numpty (probably) I’ll give them a call in the new year

Try jiggling the wires behind the lamp to see if its the wiring?.

Hi Guys,

After some help please?

I just received my H7 HIDS from Xenonbulbs, the Terminator Smart System kit.

Question: are the wires circled in red required as the instructions are not clear and I do not see anything on the van or headlight for them to connect to?

They plug into the existing terminal block that plugs into your original bulb at the moment.

 

[Mikem]

And plug the double connecters together.

The 12V supply from your existing headlight goes to the ballast and the ballast feeds the HID bulb.
