Upgrading the headlight system on your VW T5 can improve visibility and modernise the vehicle's appearance. Here’s how to do it:
- Choose New Headlights: Opt for modern LED or HID headlights for better brightness and efficiency. These offer a significant upgrade over traditional halogen bulbs.
- Acquire Necessary Components: Besides the headlights, you may need new headlight housings, bulbs, ballasts (for HID systems), and wiring harnesses. Ensure compatibility with your VW T5 model.
- Preparation: Disconnect the battery to ensure safety. Remove the front grille and any necessary body panels to access the headlight units.
- Remove Old Headlights: Unplug the electrical connectors and remove the mounting bolts securing the headlight units. Carefully remove the old headlights from the vehicle.
- Install New Headlights: Position the new headlight units in place and secure them with the mounting bolts. Connect the electrical harnesses, ensuring all connections are secure and correct. For HID systems, install the ballasts and other necessary components.
- Alignment and Testing: Adjust the headlight aim to ensure proper road illumination without blinding other drivers. Test the new headlights to ensure all functions, including high and low beams, work correctly.
