TransporterHQ (THQ) Aftermarket Headlights
I’ve had both. Started with the V3 but swapped to V2 as I prefer the separate DRL and indicator. The dipped and main beam on both is very good, and I’ve never been flashed by on coming traffic.
I have the THQ led H7 and H1 bulbs, and my van has been coded so that they both stay on with main beam.
I feel much safer with these lights compared with the VW H4’s.

Few on here have fitted HID kits and say it is far better than the THQ bulb due to the light pattern emitted.............when i get the lower grill DRL kit i'm going to give HID a go myself.
I did this with v2's and 35w hid. Next best thing to OEM LED headlight in my opinion.
Did you fit the THQ bulbs first so you could compare them?
I've tried everything, including the LED bulbs that THQ sell. HIDs win hands down. Don't get fooled into thinking that LED bulbs makes them like LED headlights. They are completely different technology. The projectors in the headlights that THQ sell are for halogen bulbs. HIDs are the same as halogens in the way their light is emitted through 360° onto the reflector behind the projector lens.
Make sure you get something like the Terminator kit from xenonbulbs. They were the only ones that I found that didn't give any errors, even with bulb monitoring turned off.
No just went straight to HID as was much easier doing them once with the bumper off.
I did that route as recommended here:

Hi again! How quick is the warm up time of the 35w HID lights you guys are using in the low beams of the THQ headlights?
Drivers side HID went on me today, really annoyed as they are only 1 month old. 
I had to mess with the wiring to refit a spare H7.
@dubber36 I presume I have to get a replacement (hopefully free of charge) from xeonbulbs to match the rest of the kit? Rather thank a standard replacement HID bulb? TIA

Hi everyone. I’ve just installed HIDs into my THQ T6.1 projector LED headlights for the low beam. Output is SO MUCH BETTER than the THQ LED bulbs.
I’m just a bit confused why there is a shadow at the bottom of the beam. I’m pretty sure I had the bulbs seated correctly as per the H7 ring notch is orientated.
I’m not sure if I can rotate the HID bulb because the H7 metal ring notch won’t be correctly seated?
Attached a photo for reference and it also shows up on the ground.

Is the HID conversion legal for the road? The H7 LED bulbs aren't....Drove though wales in the drizzle and dark last night with my H4's, need I say more I read this whole thread this morning......
Thanks all for your input, testing and research much appreciated
Ill be ordering THQ V2 and fitting the HID kit. I think some of the older links are now broken or moved to the HID kit @dubber36 and others had great success with? when I clicked it came up with multiple kits. I'm 95% sure, but before ordering wanted to check. Apologies I know its covered to death but id rather be sure.

I was going to get 4300K, typical my luck they are out of stock!
Thanks
my reading of the legislation is that technically they don't comply with current legislation for HID retrofit as the headlight unit has not been specifically designed for HID and does not have washers.
They will give an MOT compliant beam pattern as they are through the projector lens, although technically they shouldn't pass. All a bit of a grey area and worth reading up on to make your own proper informed decision

Why? The 'R' bit is for reflector headlights as explained in this...

Hi everyone. Just wondering if it’s okay that the HID lights flicker whenever the van does the stop/start thing when driving around the city. I like the stop start thing, but Im wondering if you guys also have flickering with your HIDs when the van starts up again, and if that’s okay for the lights.
thanks
thanks
Really? Oh no maybe there’s something wrong with my kit or installation. I went with a local Australian supplier for something that looks like the ones you use.
they flicker briefly when the van‘s engine starts up again at the lights.
i did a bit more reading about why I’m getting a shadow and it looks like the orientation of the H7 HID bulb wire is facing upwards, when it should be facing downwards. the funny thing is the tab on the ring around the socket is facing down, so the wire will always face up. I think THQ made a mistake with this with the T6.1 headlight kit and it needs H7B bulbs.
H7A or H7B, WHICH DO I CHOOSE?
Many people today are looking for improved lighting output from their car's stock halogen projector headlights. However, if you're not an experienced "retro-fitter " it becomes difficult to navigate at times. Take an H7 bulb for example. You've determined that the bulb needed for your car is an...

out of curiosity, does your H7 bulb wire face up 12oclock position or down 6oclock position?
No flicker on mine, they're 55w from hids 4 u, they sent me some resistors to stop the bulbout coming up on the dash, you'll probably need some to stop the flickering.
The DRL led lamps on my H4s flicker when the engine turns over but that's to be expected with 80 odd amps of electric being pulled out of the starter battery.
To be honest I'm surprised the Hids don't flicker too as any fluctuation in supply on mains powered Hid lamps causes them to go through a cooling off period and reignition cycle which can take quite a few seconds before normal service is resumed.
