TransporterHQ (THQ) Aftermarket Headlights
Are they saying that "their" 55w kits won't work with our vans?
I have the Car Rover 55w kit and it works perfectly, no flicker or lamp out warnings.
I have 6000K bulbs and will try 5000K tomorrow to see what improvement. I'm happy enough with the 600oK, but as you say, I think I can get more light out of them.
The bulbs are not from the same manufacturer and are metal based, not plastic, so will report if they are better and compatible with the Car Rover ballasts at the weekend.
Did you get any photos with the 4300K before you removed them??
I guess the particular kit that I bought won't work. They assure me that the 35W Terminator kit will. It has an extra box of gubins, so perhaps that's what makes the difference.
No I didn't get any pictures. I was too pissed off with them to be arsed.

Look forward to this!!
Won't be until Friday at the earliest mate as it's freezing,too dark and I'm an old man with backache, OTOH I could have them in on the Sunday afternoon meet if these bits of kit work.
If they don't work you'll have to put up with the £19.99 Lumen Blaster v. 0.5 which even though I do knock them were brighter than the poor sod in the stock H4 T6 we went past on the A34 last Friday going down to Bournemouth... sadly however, nowhere near as bright as the Volvo XC90s we were slip streaming later.

Sounds good, we can have a bulb off on Sunday!
Awww bless.
Non. Hang on until I've got my 4300K HIDs. I'll have tried just about everything by then.
Ayup Mikem, I know you've got the HID kit fitted to your dipped beams, did you manage to get the LED bulbs for your mains, if so where from and are they legal ?
Hi, I got them off Amazon, but haven't had time to fit them yet.

Not sure about legality, but I'm not in the UK, so wouldn't be relavent for you?
Maybe someone on the forum knows?
I'll post results at the weekend.
Thanks mate, I look forward to that.
Not legal. MOT would fail these.
I've not sent my 55W kit back yet as I've had a plan. I'm going to make a relayed loom that takes a trigger from one of the original headlight plugs, and supplies the HID ballasts with a stable 12V. Just like how you would wire up a pair of spot lights. The van will/should think that the bulbs have blown, so should ordinarily put the dash light on, but as I've turned off monitoring, that shouldn't happen.

Any news on the new set yet?.
Well that didn't work. It seems that even taking a feed from the vehicles headlight circuit is enough to put it into a strop. I've got one last option, and that's to use resistors to replace the halogen bulbs before taking the trigger feed for the relay.
