They are but by default if you had H4s to start with the dip beam goes out when you turn on main beam, this can be set to stay on with main beam for increased light output

ah ok Pauly , does it make a big difference having full beam and dipped beam on at the same time ? i'm looking at getting some THQ lights in jan 2019 once they're back in stock so is it worth paying for someone to do the coding? ( i currently have H4's)
 
Are the Transporter HQ lights the same as the ones that Vanstyle sell ?

They look the same but Vanstyle do a extra harness for high/low beam at the same time,not sure which to go for.
 
I thought the THQ lights had an option for the extra harness too ? Thats why i didnt understand the reason for decoding ?
 
You can achieve same result, with either coding or extra harness.
All of this is about keeping low beam ON while high beam is ON.

Thanks to Andy for doing the biz and it turns out we sort of know each other too .

ok dipped beam shots are at the bottom
first is old lights and second is THQ lights

main beam is the top photos

How much on average is coding and is there plenty of places about that can do it ? I intend on buying some THQ lights in jan and need to decide on either coding or the extra harness ??
 
The Vanstyle harness is switching through a relay,if you set the option on the van would this not overload the cabling??

It is coded as VW code the Caravelle lights, all standard as VW designed it to be.

The whole coding is about changing 1 bit in 1 byte in the BCM and it is a 5 minutes job;)
