TransporterHQ (THQ) Aftermarket Headlights

[VDubnewby666]

I've just had a reply to my query from AICT - they say they have a new V3 available - description is exactly the same as THQ. They're selling their version at £599!!!

The van-tech ones SPECIAL OFFER VW Transporter T6 LED DRL Light Bar Headlights | Van-Tech are a good price compared to the identical ones from Travelin-lite T6 DRL Headlights (Led Dynamic indicators)

Yes spotted that @RichDavies82 seems a good price at the special offer, my only issue is I need them to have the levelling motors in as I have an adjuster in the cab. Waiting for them to reply to my email

I know the THQ ones have the motor and I’m pretty sure the others will.

Thanks again @RichDavies82

I instructed the garage who are repairing my T6 to order these, they should be being delivered tomorrow, once I get the van back i will post some pictures and let you know what the fitment is like.

Got my van back now, I'm impressed with the V2 lamps from Van Tech, fitment is good, no dash lights and no flickering when the indicator is on.

They look cool. Good to see your van back in one piece

Update, been for a drive out to Castleton today and on the way over we had a bulb warning light come on. Checked all bulbs they were OK, did notice that on these headlamps dipped beam stays on when main beam was activated, on the way home no warning light came on. Will change the coding over the weekend to solve the issue.

Cheers
Andy.

Hmmmm so access to vcds is required when fitting them really?

 

[VDubnewby666]

Interestingly AICT have not come back to me after I asked if their lights were the same as THQ’s!

As i said warning light didn't illuminate on the way home and I haven't scanned the van as yet to see if it was the front lights which caused the issue, will report back when I have plugged VCDS in.

 

[VDubnewby666]

Be interested in what you find when you do the scan @Gemini

Here it is

Interesting intermittent short to ground!

Sounds like it needs a resistor. Or maybe the monitoring can be turned off with VCDS?

I just scanned it quickly as it was throw in it down here, will have a good look tomorrow when I'm fitting my Stitches & Steel awning rail!!

Update on the headlamps, cleared the fault what showed up on Saturday, didn't change any of the coding just to see if it came back again. At the moment its been all clear, no faults have returned and the lights are performing as they should be.

 

[VDubnewby666]

Thanks for the update @Gemini
I’ve had a response from AICT - their lights are the same as those sold by THQ - but a lot more expensive!

@Gemini
hi mate I've got a couple of questions for you, the lights you had from vantech are the 1s you have the black version?
Also the led indicators do they flash or are they like they like the audi where they move from side to side.
Thanks.
