Which? Aftermarket Headlight choices
- Thread starter KR.
- Start date
Pretty much the same as mine tbh.....still not as bright as I was expecting them to be...THQ pride themselves on testing their equipment before releasing it for sale, feel abit let down with this tho
yeah, dead ahead could be brighter. the second vid, which is kind of from the perspective of how other cars may see them at junctions, it the brightest.
side on, total shite and its the side repeater doing all the work.
I think more LED's in the indicator strip with higher output should solve it.

Maybe....but how do you do that ?
Yip , probably didn’t test them in summer .
The danger comes if you don’t realise how dim they are and you take it for granted that other drivers can see them
I just drive very cautiously and presume nobody has seen my front indicators
It definitely lets down a otherwise good looking unit
When speaking to THQ before I bought a set of V2's last December I doubt they will build anymore for the T6, probably just build upon what they have learnt for the T6.1 and T7. Apparently they find it difficult to get the manufacturer to build units for previous models
I've just ordered a set of THQ V3 with the clear diffuser....will be fitting them tomorrow so will let you know if they are brighter.....Im hopeful they will be.... Needless to say, my V3 with white diffuser will be up for sale if anyone is interested and wants to grab a bargain...
I am Looking at ordering a set for mine and just wounding if you have any photos without the lights on with the new clear lenses.
they only seem to have photos of the white diffuser on the site. Had the van six years now and can’t go through another winter with the standard lights.I was going for the led dipped and nightbreaker main in black.
thanks.

I have a standard highline Combi I use for work so just want good lights with a standard look.
Does the manual light high adjustment on dash still work with this so I can lower if towing .
Thanks.

Yep....all works as standard
Thanks will order today
Thanks again for all the info I asked for .
Fitted the THQ headlamps with LED dipped bulbs yesterday and all ok so far.
I would recommend getting a trim clip tool as I broke a couple getting mine off with a screwdriver and remember you need to disconnect the frog light plug as you remove the bumper (not in the THQs video).
I removed bumper on my own by just putting the box the new lights came in on the floor in front of the bumper and standing it on that as I removed it .
I then used Carista Beta to combine dipped and main beam and all went ok.
Took in out last night for a quick set up and they are a massive improvement over the h4s well worth the money I wish I had change 6 years ago went I got the van.
I will post a few photos when I get it out in the new forest when the dark nights come in.

Glad to hear the fitting went ok
OK, so I've discounted the used LHD LED option and now I'm going round in circles on whether to fit OEM H7s with Night Breakers or go for THQs V3 LED DRLs - I know there's a ton of stuff in here about this - I think that's the reason my head is spinning!
My mechanic says he's wary of aftermarket lights due to the seals, any opinions on that?

I've had THQ V1s for nearly 3 years and they have been faultless. If you are thinking of V3s, make sure you get the revised versions with the brighter DRLs and Indicators. The first ones were really dim.
