Fitting VW Transporter T6 LED Daylight Running Lights and Sidelights

[@GetInTheBoat]

No way you were the first video to pop up when I was searching how to change a light bulb on a T5 😂😂 nice vid mate 👍

Thanks Will.

Brilliant video Simon, love your self efacing approach. It definitely helped me. I did end up with all the same scratches and grazes as you. With regard to the air filter, it really is easy to take the top off. One screwdriver required for the jubilee clip. Two tab clips, one front, one rear, push and pull the sensor plug on the top. Move the hose, give it a wiggle and it's off, one minute to reassemble. Then that sidelight will be much easier. Thanks again though.

Thanks Chris - it's remarkable how handy this video was to people. I never would have thought it. The funny thing it that about a month ago I had ro replace the same bulb so I tried the air filter removal. I kicked myself for how much easier it was to do. That would have saved me sooooo much time.

[@rosskennedy4795]

Looking from the front, the left hand bulb can be changed easier by removing the air filter housing first….easily done (KZbin video available). 20 mins to do this, plus bulbs each side. Love the changes.

Love the channel man great vids and great help to us with our T5.1 👍

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

Well done for having a crack at all those bulbs. I’ve got some Night Breakers for when a headlight bulb goes but dreading the thought of sticking my hands down there behind the lights.

[@simonlongworth4791]

Thank you. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but you definitely have to do it by 'feel'.

[@richarddavis759]

Big help im going to try and put new ones in tomorrow.

[@simonlongworth4791]

No problems - I am glad this video is still helping people.

Bought the new T5.1 headlights with DRLs from THQ with the LED H7 & H4 cambus attachment , bumper off job to get the bulbs in place , worth the ball ache & i hope they last more than a year given the cost . but deffo recommend them for the van .

[@simonlongworth4791]

All my LED replacements have failed and it’s probably only been a year. So annoyed.

[@richardpickering2452]

I have found that the DRL LED bulbs from Travelin lite don't last as long as the ones from Classic car LEDs.

[@simonlongworth4791]

To be honest, I have had no success with either Travelin Lite or Transporter HQ. I now have Halfords ones in there I think and they have lasted longest.

Butter fingers 🤣. Good vid.

[@simonlongworth4791]

Thanks Grant.

Have you changed the DLR bulbs on the VW sharan? I'm struggling to get the bulb out of the housing on my 2017 VW sharan.. would be helpful if you can share any tips on how to get this done. Nice video man - thanks

[@simonlongworth4791]

Sorry I just saw this but I have never changed those.

[@qdawg4033]

Hi,how long did the fancy Chinese sidelight bulbs last?

[@simonlongworth4791]

Hi there. They are still going but to be honest it’s surprising how little you actually use your sidelights. I hardly ever see them on.

Simon - Is Your Van a T32?..... I have just bought one (T32) and just found out they are a category N1 (On V5 Form) which means lower road speed limits (except on motorways) 🙁

[@simonlongworth4791]

Yeah it’s a T32
