    What's the prettiest front end in your opinion, the T5, T5.1 or T6?!?

    I've just installed the same lights and used your video to help me, thank you very much. Do you know if there is a way for the dipped beam to stay on as well when using full beam?

    Hi there, great info on video......there were two white allen head adjusters on the top of the new units - can you remember do they adjust the up/down or l/r of the dipped beam and main beam lamps?

    I have the 1.9 which I'm learning on (didn't realise they were so easy). Done everything myself. Same front-end as yours which I really like the look of. Changing the turbo looks like it was easier than the head lights ha ha. Keep up the good work. Vans looking mint

    Hi there.
    I have changed my headlights on my 2006 t5 h4 bulbs to headlights with h7 low beam and h1 high beam.
    I tought it will be plug and go,but it is not. After pluging new lights ...indicators-work,parking lights -work,high beams h1-works......only h7 low beam dont work. Any toughts? ...wiring harness,or? Thanks for reply.... Mark.

    I have angel eyes on my T5 and they are great although they are for a LHD. Do you know if you can alter them to make them RHD? It would really help if I can do this as I bought the van with them on.

    • @GDUBTV
      @GDUBTV  5 років тому

      I think Travelin-Lite do a wiring harness that is plug and play which sorts it. Theres also a way vy removing the steering wheel and switching a couple fo wires over, but you'll need to search in some of the T5 forums for that one as I've never tried it!

    Hi there can you buy replacement led strips for these lights 👍👍

    • @GDUBTV
      @GDUBTV  4 роки тому

      These ones are bulbs, but some other designs are strips. Bulbs are easy enough to replace (usually with the headlight out) and LED strips probably need a bit of minor soldering to replace

    • @jonathanhelliwell637
      @jonathanhelliwell637 4 роки тому

    • @GDUBTV
      @GDUBTV  4 роки тому

      Probably worth calling Vanstyle, but if not then I’d remove the light, see what the strip looks like and then hit eBay for a suitable replacement to solder or connect in. Not a 5 min job.

    • @GDUBTV
      @GDUBTV  6 років тому +1

      The halogen bulbs are H7 & H1 - I went for upgraded (brighter) bulbs. Be aware that some upgraded halogen bulbs may be too hot for the light and could cause potential problems.

    @DCstephen1 6 років тому +1

    So I noticed you have fitted a debadged front grill and filled the gap on your bonnet. However at one point in the video the bonnet badge gap is there! So question Is , have you actually had the bonnet gap professionally filled or are you using the plastic filler that was supplied with the grill? As it looks invisible for most of the video.

    • @GDUBTV
      @GDUBTV  6 років тому

      Well noticed sir! I did a load of bodywork whilst the bumper was off, one bit was filling in the bonnet notch. I used a plastic insert, bonded it on, then filled it with filler, sanded down and primered it. Didn’t do a full video, sadly not enough time, but have a rushed video that Im posting up next week of some of the repair work I’ve done. It was dropped off this morning to get sprayed!
