VW T5 transporter LED H4 Headlight bulb upgrade
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Upgrading the Front headlight bulbs to LED! the daylight bulbs are too yellow, so needed an upgrade to ice white. They look 10 times better. Also did the sidelights, headlights and Indicators.
I have upgraded the headlight bulbs to the led H4 bulbs now - see the latest video in my playlist!

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 !

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

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

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

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

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
