Lighting upgrades for your Volkswagen
We all agree that Volkswagen did a pretty great job of designing and building their air-cooled cars, buses, and Transporters, but sometimes things like headlights need a little upgrade.
That's why we've got a great range of lighting upgrades for VWs from the classic Beetle, through to the modern T6 Transporter.
Whether you're looking to be safe and be seen with some brighter brake lights, or you're after a set of newer, brighter headlights and bulbs, you'll find the lighting upgrades you're looking for here at Just Kampers, and at great prices, too!

Lighting Upgrades for the VW Beetle and other Air-Cooled Cars
The original lights fitted to your Volkswagen Beetle are likely to be pretty dim, especially when driving at night or in poor weather conditions. Fortunately, like so many things on the classic Beetle, the lights are really easy to replace!
You'll have the option to swap out your bulbs for new, more powerful Halogen or LED versions, or to remove entire lighting units like the headlights and install more efficient modern replacements.
While dim headlights are probably the most immediately obvious issue with the Beetle's original lighting system, since they most directly affect you as the driver, it's worth remembering that many Beetles and other air-cooled cars have relatively dim rear lights. This can make it more difficult for other road users to see you, and can lead to some dangerous situations, especially if driving in the dark or when visibility is low due to the weather or road conditions.
Many of us here at Just Kampers have fitted upgraded rear lights to our Beetles, to help make them far more visible to other drivers. Not only do these rear light units give you additional tail lights, they also flash when you brake or indicate, to help make your presence and intentions more apparent to other road users.

Lighting Upgrades for VW T2 Split Screens
The iconic VW T2 Split is generally driven less often than other VW buses or Transporters, so lighting and visibility may be less of an issue, but it's still incredibly important.
While the design of the T2 Splitscreen is both groundbreaking and hugely popular, few people who've driven their Split in the dark or in the rain will argue that the lighting couldn't be improved from the original!
Simple steps like upgrading your headlights with halogen bulbs, or even just new head light reflectors, can make a massive difference to your ability to see and be seen. There are also popular lighting accessories like additional rear light units, which will give you an extra set of bright tail lights, indicators, and brake lights to help other road users spot you and understand when you're changing lanes or slowing down.
These simple upgrades can be fitted in an afternoon, and help you get the most out of your beloved T2 Split in safety, rather than having to worry about getting home before the sun sets to avoid putting up with the underwhelming original lights on your bus!
Lighting Upgrades for VW T2 Bays
The VW T2 Bay is a hugely popular campervan across the UK and around the world, which is more likely to see use year-round as die-hard fans enjoy off-season camping, wintry trips to the beach, or just scenic autumn drives.
While all T2 Bays are 12v, unlike many Beetles or T2 Split Screens, higher voltage doesn't always been more powerful lights - especially on earlier Bays which tend to have smaller indicators and rear lights! Not everyone is a fan of the bigger side and rear lights on the 'late' T2 Bays produced from 1972 onwards, it's hard to argue that they don't make it easier for other road users to see you and know what you're up to, especially in the rain or at night.
Luckily, there are a huge range of different improvements you can make to the lighting system on your VW T2 Bay, regardless of which year it was made, from simple halogen bulb swaps, through to investing in a rear light upgrade kit. We designed these upgrades ourselves, to give you an extra pair of tail lights, indicators, and brake lights with bright, LED bulbs which still suit the classic styling of your VW.

Lighting Upgrades for VW T25s
Also known as the VW T3 pretty much everywhere but the UK, the VW T25 doesn't struggle with lightning nearly as much as earlier VWs often do, but there are still things you can do to improve them.
The most popular option is to fit a set of halogen bulbs, to help you see further in the dark or during poor weather, as these also help you to be seen by other road users, keeping everyone safer.
You can also find some auxiliary lights which can be added to the front or rear of your T25 to help others see you on the road, including amber spotlights - ideal for peering through fog - or the illuminated STOP light for the rear, which is a fantastic reproduction of the light available in the 1960s.
Regardless of which option you go for, you'll find a great range of lighting upgrades and accessories for your VW T25 here at Just Kampers.
Lighting Upgrades for VW T4s
If you're finding the original lights on your VW T4 to be a bit underwhelming, or can't see as far as you'd like to while driving at night, then you'll want to check out this range of upgrade options for the lights on your Transporter.
Simple halogen bulb kits can make a big difference to how effective your T4's headlights are, and are quick and easy to fit to your vehicle. You can use these to upgrade your fog lights to halogen bulbs, too, if you're facing early morning drives through foggy or misty roads.
You'll also find replacement bulb kits here at Just Kampers, ideal whether you've got a blown bulb or you just want peace of mind from knowing you've got a set of spare bulbs tucked away in your glove box!
Lighting Upgrades for VW T5s and T5.1s
Many of us find that the lights on the VW T5 are generally pretty good, especially when compared to older Transporters, but it can also be worth looking at upgrades or carrying spare bulbs to help you see and be seen while driving when it's dark or in poor weather conditions.
You can also invest in a Daylight Running Light (DRL) kit, which adds extra lights to the front of your VW T5, useful if you're using your T5 on dark country roads, early winter mornings, or just think the DRL kit looks cool!
Lighting Upgrades for the VW T6 and VW T6.1
The lighting system on the modern VW T6 Transporters is pretty great already, but many of us have found the original headlights a bit lacklustre, especially in the depths of winter.
Several of us drive T6s o T6.1s to and from work every day, and as Just Kampers HQ is located in the middle of the Hampshire countryside, the underwhelming original headlights have definitely been an issue on dark, foggy, or rainy mornings. That's why we're stocking some great headlight upgrade kits, which we've tested ourselves on our own Transporters.
A set of Daylight Running Lights (DRLs) will help you be seen by other road users, especially in poor weather, while full headlight upgrades can let you see further while driving at night. We've also got a great range of replacement lightbulbs and other essentials, to help keep your VW T6 in top shape and fully visible.
