VW T4 Headlight Wiring Loom Upgrade: Brighter, *fully legal*, No LEDs!

Without a headlight wiring loom upgrade, driving a Volkswagen T4 in the dark can feel like being guided by a candle in a jam jar. Your headlights ARE NOT WORKING to their full capacity, and I'm going to show you why. You don't need to buy illegal LED headlights, upgrade your headlight loom instead.
Many Volkswagen T4 vans are around 20-25 years old and over time the headlight wiring looms can degrade. This causes a build-up of resistance in the wires which is stopping the full voltage of your battery getting to the headlights.
Using a headlight wiring loom upgrade (amzn.to/2U4RGBY) you can restore those lost volts, connecting your headlights more directly to the vehicle battery. It uses the existing headlight wiring to switch a pair of relays on and off, which in turn supply the power to the headlights.
As you will see in the video, your original wiring loom might only be supplying just over 10 Volts to your headlights. Using a wiring loom upgrade you can get that voltage back up closer to the 12 Volts that your headlights need to work properly.
With a wiring loom upgrade, you don't need to buy new bulbs to get a better view of the road, although buying premium headlight bulbs after you upgrade the loom will make night driving even better. I recommend OSRAM Night Breaker Laser bulbs (amzn.to/3eJtrB9). I have been using Nightbreaker bulbs for more than 10 years and fit them to all my vehicles.

I recently purchased a 1993 T4, and with your guidance I just replaced the headlamps. Your video was really helpful. Thank you. Now I’m thinking maybe I should buy a wiring booster thingy too. Thanks again. I’ve never worked on vehicles before and find it very satisfying

Nicely explained, I got a t4 March this year, and with the darker nights drawing in I’ve notice that I can’t really see whilst driving in dusk or dark…. Had to check if the headlights were actually working 😂 so I’m defo going to be looking at getting one of these installed 😅

Hi there, slightly off the subject of headlights, but I love those wheels you have, are they the 17” VW Beetle Heritage alloys? Also can I just ask.. I’m assuming they’re load rated okay for a T4 camper? Many thanks

@@T4Family Does this headlight loom work on a left hand drive shortnose Canadian spec van? Do the headlights work nicely? Are you using Ecode headlamp assemblies? The prices on Amazon are great. Do these products deliver the expected improvement in lighting, and has the new wiring loom deteriorated since installation?

Hi! Thanks for the video. I've just completed this on my T4. Great improvement but im wondering if I've installed it correctly. If i do it the way you have... the lgihts will always be on when the ignition is on? Is that correct? Thanks

Now you can install three h4 halogen bulbs into a Passat b3 headlight. Since it is similar to yours, this may be possible: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8UAxVtGY7kY.html The Syncro Heresy
