I stuck with the THQ H1 LED bulbs in mine and they have been absolutely fine. Fitted in a T5.1. Just had to do a quick wiring mod to keep dipped on with main beam.
 
I fitted Twenty20 H1 LEDs in mine. I'd already coded out every single bulb warning during my trials with the lights, so they just worked... for me.
@dubber36 Does the locator ring on the bulb remove on these for easier fitting? I know some led bulbs you remove the locator ring, fit the spring into place and then fit the bulb
 
Yes, that needs fitting first. Even then it's virtually impossible to fit them with the headlights in situ. I tried mine, gave up, then fitted them with the headlights removed when I did the grille swap for the Lazer lights.
 
Right V2 headlights are ordered after reading the feedback between the V2 and V3. I will be ordering the Terminator H7 HID 35w kit and the Twenty20 H1 LED bulbs, along with some PPF for the lenses. Thanks @dubber36 for the trails and tribulations with what bulb works and making things easier to bring the best out the THQ headlights
 

I'd really like to try these new LED bulbs, but feel like I've experimented enough. Would someone be brave enough to give them a go? @BognorMotors ?

I've got a new Tig with IQ LED headlights coming in a week or so. My main beam is sorted with the Lazers, but I'd like to see if it's possible to improve on HID dipped beam and not feel too inferior to the new car.
 
@dubber36 Im fitting the Twenty20 H1 bulbs into the main beam of my V2 lights and at the back of the lense where the bulb locates is a slot oriented at 4 & 10 o’clock. Once the LED bulb is through the slot it cannot be rotated. The bulb is fixed. Is this correct?

Most have them at 12 & 6 o' clock position.

I'm sure with mine, I fitted the collars, then the bulbs just pushed into them and were free to rotate.
 
@dubber36. No on the H7 HID bulb that is how they are orientated at 12 & 6 o’clock. There is no other way on them to locate them. But on the H1 LED I’ve removed the collar and fitted that but the bulb can only go through a slot that is in the lens so they can’t be rotated. It’s how the standard bulbs were oriented too at 4 & 10 o clock. As you can see there is no way to rotate the H1 LED bulb 36FBC958-66AB-4250-96F4-37D1925DDA0D.webp

Thanks. I’ve fitted them and will see how they perform. The holder must be the same as the V3 and I know THQ supply H1 led bulbs for these. I’m assuming they will be fine.
 
Some notes I took when installing V2’s, might help:

Outer bulb fitted; Osram 64210, H7, 55W. It’s possible to use the spring clip in place, squeeze spring clips together and manoeuvre around cables. Three tabs on bulb, unique tab is at top.
Inner bulb fitted; Osram 84150, H1, 55W. It’s deep inside. Push spring clip forward and outwards to release. Hinge is at the bottom, single positive cable, negative goes to the holder.
Flat on the bulb is at the top.
 
Finally got to try my THQ V2 in the dark tonight with the HID 35w dipped and THQ H1 led bulbs. I must say I am mightily pleased with the performance and miles better than the standard headlights. I also fitted the TravelinLite led fog light bulbs to compliment the lights. Only issue that was encountered was the led main beams put the bulb failure light on the dash. But I’ve had the bulb monitoring coded out for the main beams and no further issues. I had mentioned previously that I couldn’t rotate the H1 bulbs to their correct orientation, but this hasn’t seemed to of caused any problems as the main beam is still great IMO. Thanks a lot guys for all your help

Just remember to swap out the H1 LEDs before you go to the test centre

My Scirocco passed with LED main beams. The tester said he was only interested in dipped beam, as in theory, no one gets dazzled by main beam unless you haven't dipped them.
 
I had HIDs in my old T5.1 and all the tester was concerned about was the beam pattern. You can’t fault the pattern in these headlights. I had them aligned where I have my MOT and they never said a word
 
Can I code my main and full beam to work together using Carista

lights are Transporter HQ led v3

I can see anything on the app to change this

any help would be great
 
Hi guys! My T6.1 with H7 halogens has a dial that adjusts both headlight beams up and down.
Out of curiosity - does the T6 also have that? And when you change over to the THQ LED DRL headlight, do you still get to do that?
