TransporterHQ (THQ) Aftermarket Headlights

[DXX]

I had mine fitted last Friday at THQ (black versions), no issues at all with them. The light projection is much better, I went for the super white bulbs which do give whiter light output.

I also went for the LED foglights, a bit gimmicky but look good.

The customer service at THQ was excellent. Turned up at 2.30pm, got a brew shoved in my hand and they immediately got cracking. I was out of there at 3pm a very happy camper!

Are the ‘super white bulbs’ the ones that are supplied loose with the lights - Limastar Powervision halogen?

I'm interested to know this too, as they are 100w aren't they?

 

[Mkgolfnutters]

no, the super white are not included in the price and was told that they are not as bright due to a covering they place over the bulb.

Well I got two pairs of Limastar ‘super white’ included in the price for the head lights, 2x H7 and 2x H1, both marked 55w (retailing separately at 7.50 / pair on THQ. These were supplied loose, the headlamps have Osram bulbs fitted when delivered.
I enquired with THQ and was told that there is a typo on their website and that the bulbs are compatible with the head light and additional loom.
I believe that earlier 100w bulbs were offered which were NOT compatible with the additional loom.
You’d think they would just correct their website????

Yes everyone I had front and back issues both drivers side didn’t operate properly THQ replaces them happy days.

I'd like to go for the v2 front headlights, but as has been pointed out, there appears to be lots of quality issues with these. It seems unbelievable that your lights were shipped without being bench tested first! How are they performing after a month, any issues at all?

 

[Cherokee]

Spose il have to get mine out of the box and see what i have to do to sort em out before thq fit em.

Have yours been installed yet?

@Cherokee I had mine installed since launch with no issues so far, with led bulbs in they are miles better than old h4’s. Not cheap but look good and perform a lot better

@Smr72 . Thanks for info. Did you have them installed at THQ?

No not yet,hopefully in the next couple of weeks. Thq are fitting and coding them. Il keep this post updated.

 

[Buzznitro]

Gents just to give THQ a bit of praise they installed mine after a few teething problems and coded mine, their service was excellent in fact I’m going back to them and getting more work done with them. First class.

Good man @Smr72 . I reckon I need this upgrade. I'm scared to go out at night with me H4's.

Did you need to adjust the beams after fitting?

 

[tpalmer]

Can anyone tell me do these (V2 or V1) look even close to OEM LEDs in real life if you go for the chrome ones?
Would be great to see a side by side comparison.

 

[Smr72]

Here’s the black ones I think they look pretty own looking without the £2k price tag and with led bulbs the light output is way better than the original h4’s

 

[Smr72]

I think the chrome ones may be a bit too blingy
I think the black chrome balance is about right

Has anybody who’s installed themselves needed to adjust the beam direction?

I was going to get mine tested but they look spot on to me. Perfect beam pattern which does not appear to dazzle oncoming traffic or those in front. The pattern also kicks up to the nearside to lighten up the roadside better. MOT coming up soon so I'll find out for sure.

Interesting, I've wondered how these would fare at MOT time, keep us posted.

Does the internal beam height adjuster still work or are these fixed in place?
