Has anyone with a T6 changed the headlights to LED from the standard candles as fitted by VW? Other half is under the impression that it is a relatively simple job however her definition of simple and mine are somewhat different.

There seem to be some who have changed the whole thing and some just the bulbs. As far as I can see, the majority change bulbs themselves but get a garage (or their supplier) to do it if it's changing the whole headlight. Transporter HQ V3s seem to get lots of mentions. There was one comment that changing the bulbs alone makes them brighter but doesn't improve the coverage/angles etc. I am definitely not mechanically minded but hopefully that makes some sense?

We had it booked in for some minor repairs (under warranty) for this week, but that means driving to Lincoln (they were Tier 4 before lockdown and we were in Tier 3 then). We've considered it and pondered it and have decided that the repairs aren't essential so the journey isn't essential and have postponed the appointment until the end of February.

The basic is that they need to have the correct reflectors etc so you can’t just change the bulbs. Recommend you look it up. Caveat - I’m not currently qualified as a MoT tester, I’m just some bloke on the internet!

They were fitted very quickly (by Transporter HQ as we planned when we were passing them on our way to the Lake District). Highly recommend the company such good customer service.

The first choice was to stop off on a road trip and get the supplier to fit them but that can't happen due to lockdown hence thinking about self fitting.

Give them a call - they are so friendly and helpful
