VW T5 transporter LED H4 Headlight bulb upgrade

[@AJ-qn6gd]

The standard T5 headlights are bloody dangerous the first time I took ours out at night I thought VW had reverted to 6v electrics as per the pre 1967 Vehicles !

[@AXISUK]

Yeah you would think for such a modern van and large company they would have had better headlights!

Hi mate, Whats the tiny bulb called under the bulb that you replace in the video? And how did you replace that?

[@AXISUK]

I think you mean the w5 bulb? That has a little plug under the main bulb. Just pops out with a twist 👍🏻

[@gc5358]

Hi these are just what I’m looking for, do you have links for all the bulbs you replace in the units , side lights, daytime light and main headlights, I enjoy your uploads keep up the good work thanks

[@AXISUK]

Thanks. The original LED bulbs I used are no longer in stock. These are similar to what I used amzn.to/3PI6brz

[@gc5358]

Do you have links for the side lights and daytime lights?😊

[@AXISUK]

@@gc5358 I don’t have the link for the ones in the video, but these are similar amzn.to/48FpBWr just make sure they are canbus error free 👍🏻

Just changed my daytime running lights to leds, amazing difference, and I was about to change my headlights after seeing this video, till I read Kevins post about it could fail the MOT. How is upgrading a pretty shit lighting system a MOT failure? I've no doubt Kevin is right, but I'm going to change them anyway and take my chances. I suppose I could always change them back before the MOT. By the frigging way,😄I love the way you present the video, no bull, just nice and easy to understand....and those lamps ARE a pig to change, when you're a hamfisted git like me🤣

[@AXISUK]

🤣😂 mine never got pulled on it’s mot and you can’t really see the bulbs unless you look really hard.

They look class mate, did they last or cause any issues?

[@AXISUK]

Never had an issue with them and definitely better than original candles 🤣

[@TKILPATRICK100]

do you have a link to where to buy them on amazon but which company and name of the bulbs

[@AXISUK]

These are the upgraded LED headlights I used in another video which are miles better - Roadsun LED H4 LIGHT BULBS amzn.to/3lF9p1y

[@bw3064]

Hi, is there a video with them at night lighting the road ahead? I was about to press go a new set of headlights before stumbling across this which may save me a fortune.. ;)

[@AXISUK]

I didn’t do a night video but definitely better than standard bulbs, plus a lot cheaper than new headlights.

[@bw3064]

@@AXISUK worth a shot. Thanks for the vid.

[@AXISUK]

@@bw3064 no worries and good luck with the install 👍🏻

[@deanbrien9195]

Can I do this with my t5 2008 transporter, or is she too old :)

[@AXISUK]

Can’t see why not 🤔 just check the bulb sizes are the same as what yours has fitted.

[@kevinspilling2549]

Just be aware this is retrofitting when you replace a standard bulb with an LED version. There’s no legislation to cover retrofitting external facing light sources and therefore LED exterior bulbs are not road legal + your van will fail the MOT!

[@AXISUK]

Although mine passed with them, Kevin is right with regards to an MOT failure.

If the beam pattern passes and the tester didn’t notice then they will pass but are technically not
