T6 V3 Headlights + H7 LED Bulbs Explained + Fitting | Transporter HQ

[@keithfrancis4954]

Just received and fitted your H7s to my V2 headlights - super fast next day delivery thanks. My top-tip for fitting in situ is drivers side first. Take out the air-box top (2 x sensor plugs, 2 x spring clips and a jubilee clip = 2-minutes). This gives plenty of space to practice/fiddle/trial fit. The passenger side is fit by feel, but you've done it once so its easy! Great service guys from THQ thank you!

After speaking personally to Chris I can say what a marvellous fella he really is, I’ve not encountered that level of “can do” and helpfulness very often at all

[@THQAutomotive]

Thank you, I’ll pass on the message to Chris 😊

[@chrissharplesphotography9748]

These are excellent bulbs and an excellent video to help fitting. My notes having fitted the bulbs myself, are definitely remove the headlights as we wouldn’t have stood a chance fitting the bulbs first time. And secondly, both H7s and H1s have collars that need removing and putting in with the clips of them, before slotting in the bulbs. We didn’t see the H7s had collars as they were stiffer. Thanks to Mikey and Kieron for their help. Transporter HQ are fab.

[@GreggCastree]

Fitted these to my V2 version lights today...….really pleased. And great to know how I can adjust them to ensure they're as fitted correctly!!! Did the bumper removal method which sounds a lot more work, but in the long run, it's easier than scraping your hands and struggling to fit in situ!

[@THQAutomotive]

Great glad you're please. Thanks for the feedback :)

[@amp6887]

Just purchased these bulbs and headlights for my t5.1 and rear lights can't wait to have them fitted And a big thanks to Harvey for your advice

[@ashleyhunt3491]

I've got a set of the black edition, and they look amazing. I contacted THQ via email because I wasn't sure about the beam pattern and adjustment, but Kieran from the team sent me a link to this video that made it all as clear as my nights drive 😉 Thanks guys.

[@jonathanwoodhead5659]

Great service guys! Called to get fitting instructions and this vid was on 3 mins later 👍🏻

Hi Chris V3 lights in Black arrived today looking good carnt wait for a dry day to get them fitted and to find someone to code them for main and dip together really great service and super fast delivery. Cheers Guys

[@dcwilliams999]

Fitted my v3 headlights no issue even as a complete beginner. Video is a godsend - thank you so much. Have you a guide or tips on fitting Eurolight deflectors please? (Def. can't justify a spare set of LHD sorry)

[@chrisaldous21]

Any idea when the H1 LEDs mentioned in the video will be coming out? I’ve ordered the H7’s but don’t really want to remove the headlights twice. Thanks.

[@THQAutomotive]

It could be 6 months, we need to do a lot of tests. You don't need to remove the lights to fit them. The H1's are really easy to get to.

[@D_L_J_83]

@@THQAutomotive Any news on these high beams for the T6.1?

[@THQAutomotive]

@@D_L_J_83 we’re working on a T6.1 headlight. LED’s for the standard headlights don’t seem possible.

[@under2boots]

Followed video for H7 and done fine but cannot get the spade connectors out the H1 bulb to get the Transporter HQ LED H1 I bought to match😣........ Managed it but hope they last forever!! Getting them in before they're fitted is a relief. Wouldn't want to do the H1's whilst on the vehicle🙈. H7's were dead easy👍

[@MrSuxamethonium]

Love these headlights. What do you need to do if driving in Europe with them ?beam converters. Cheers

[@ganto77]

The DRL strip looksl really nice.

[@chrisroberts4234]

Thanks for this. An excellent guide that answers all the questions I had 👍

[@THQAutomotive]

Thats great to hear. Thanks for your feedback.

[@tm-xz2ng]

Black with twin leds is sick looking will be ordering when the h1 comes out

[@THQAutomotive]

The H1's may never come. We need to do a lot of testing. The output may be too direct. Also it may cause MOT issues as you can clearly see its an LED. We'll do more testing and research when we are back after lockdown

[@D_L_J_83]

Can you use 2 sets of these H7 LEDs to change the low and high beams of the T6.1?

[@Johanssonswilliam]

Will these headlights fit a vw amarok as well?

[@andystone5487]

Spot on!, just can't decide Chrome or Black for my 5.1 Shuttle (it's Silver!)

[@THQAutomotive]

tough call, both would work :)

[@TryggHavet]

Idea : Can you make a video on how to remove and replace the lower front grill + lower plastic panels (w/ fog lights) on a t6 ? You already did one for the upper grill. Thanks. Very informative video !

[@THQAutomotive]

We'll add it to the list :)

Just bought t6 v3 black edition with H1 led light from HQ but H1 led won't fit the ring too small for the clif

Great vid guys, are there any plans to manufacture a V3 with black projector housing please ?

[@THQAutomotive]

No sorry

[@SimonHigton-r2h]

They look great! When will the white diffuser be back in stock? I need to order 😅

[@gavintoyn8821]

White diffuser have been discontinued apparently. Poor light output I was told

[@Smudge987]

Thinking about ordering a pair but what about the H1 bulbs though, is there a reason you dont offer those as LED's ?

[@THQAutomotive]

Paul Smith he have them for T5.1. The T6 version on coming in a month. It’s taken longer to sort the canbus warning errors for a T6. Sorted now though.

[@chrissharplesphotography9748]

2024 available now, and just bought and fitted them.

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

Am I right in thinking that what I describe as the normal headlight is a projector lens and can have an LED but the high beam is a standard reflector and lens so to pass an MOT would need to be a halogen bulb?

[@Saxlicker]

Hi did you find an answer to this? I have the same question. Thanks.

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

@@Saxlicker I ended up fitting the V3 headlights with the LED upgrade. There’s lots of social media posts about the legalities of different types of bulbs, I’m keeping the standard Halogen Bulbs that came with the lamps in my van so they can easily be changed should I need to. I’m just going to put it in for MOT next year and change if needed and then change back to LED afterwards. I’ve driven around for several months now and not once has anyone flashed me so from that I’m guessing they’re not dazzling. They’ve made a massive difference and I don’t regret fitting either the lamps or the LED bulbs. Interestingly I looked at a friend’s brand new mini with LED headlights as standard and that doesn’t have washers which is one reason people give for LEDs not being legal. So mine have LED behind the projector lens and Osram Nightbreakers for the high beam part. It’s also coded to have both bulbs on when high beam is on.

[@Saxlicker]

@@dieselbushcraft1299 Thank you for your quick reply @diesel Bushcraft. Great idea! asides which I have just looked up some legality on LED's and actually it says you mustn't modify the halogen headlight unit to take an LED bulb so swapping out to the V3's with the projector lens must almost mitigate the situation (there has been no modification) then your back up plan on top leaves you in a good place...Thanks!

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

@@Saxlicker a lot of people say that due to the projector lens a tester cannot see the bulb and therefore cannot fail it for being an LED. I guess next year I’ll be testing that theory but as I say if it fails I’ll spend ten minutes putting halogens back in for the test and then put the LEDs back in. If I knew the LEDs were dazzling other drivers then without question I would remove the LEDs.

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

As an update to my post. The van has just been through an MOT at a VW Dealer and passed without any issues and that was with the LED H7 bulbs.

[@julianphelps3852]

Brilliant product & definitely a great improvement. A must is the H7 leds & the up rated Osram H1’s but also coding to make dip stay on with mains. Major point to note (that I missed) is the locator ring on LED’s...finally realised was a muppet & should have paid more careful attention to this vid re the tab fitment going between hinge! 1 I did was right other wrong & quite different until I realised!! 🤔🤦🏻‍♂️

[@silverlinkz]

Wow, they really look great!

[@stuartpatton2685]

Hi guys do these bulbs work with a 2019 VW crafter ??

[@THQAutomotive]

Only if it has our aftermarket crafter headlights in.

[@Deano1mtb]

So will these fit in my standard T6 lights? Thanks

[@THQAutomotive]

No, they use a H4 bulb

[@TheGollam]

Can these be fitted to a standard 6.1 headlight unit? Do you offer a fitting service?

[@THQAutomotive]

Yes they do and are very easy to fit. I couldn't confirm for sure if they'll pass an MOT though as standard T6.1 headlights, don't use a projector

[@simoncarling2925]

I have fitted the h7’s and they are great but when going to main beam the light changes from white to ‘orange’ which is off putting. Do you have alternative bulbs for main beam?

Hi, I have just bought a 2020/2021 T6.1 Transporter which came off the production line in Germany with their latest LED lights. I have noticed that my indicator lights do not 'swish like yours do' Should they? Prior to me taking delivery of the van it has been converted into a campervan by a reputable company called Autohaus in |Minehead, Somerset, I'm sure that they would not have done anything to these lights, are the lights in your different ones to mine?

Yes they are our own aftermarket lights.
