Volkswagen Transporter T5 | Bi-xenon HID Projector Retrofit Headlight Upgrade tutorial DIY

Tutorial for Volkswagen Transporter T5 (1st generation) Bi-xenon projector retrofit. We used a DEPO headlight for this retrofit (better price than Projektzwo headlights). They are cheap, easy to retrofit (not permasealed as the original T5 headlight, so they open easy with heat), and they are reasonable quality.

𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:
0:01 remove the lens clips
0:15 put the headlight in preheated oven (200 degrees C, turn the oven off when you put the headlight in it, because most ovens have one heat emitting side which can locally melt the headlight unit)
0:31 Bake your headlight! :-) 3 minutes for the first time
0:40 After 3 minutes, rotate the headlight, to make sure that it's equally heated
0:52 Again 3 minutes in the oven.
1:20 Use a flat head screw driver to pry the headlight open.
1:35 Don't use to much force, work patiently
2:08 Gently remove the lens completely from the housing
2:30 Make sure the sealant doesn't stick to chrome parts which are visible to the eye when installed on the car, this looks ugly :-)
3:25 First insert the wires through the H7 bulb hole
3:58 Then insert the shaft of the Bi-xenon projector
4:20 Place the H7 adapter ring
4:28 Spring washer
4:31 Locking nut, tighten it! Now the projector is ready :-)
5:05 Put the lens back on the headlight
5:56 Make sure it fits correct
6:20 Mount the clips back again
6:40 Bake it again to soften the sealant again, to make sure it will be closed correctly
7:03 This time only 3 minutes in total
7:12 Check if the lens fits tight, apply some pressure with pliers.
7:39 Ready!
After this, connect the wires. You can use wire taps to connect the wires of the Bi-xenon solenoid to the High beam wire, and optionally the angel eyes.

Retrofitting refers to the addition of new technology or features to older systems. These days there are a lot of people who put a simple plug & play xenon kit in their halogen headlight housing in an attempt to improve night vision and looks of their vehicle. In fact they don’t realize that their headlight beams are often worse than before. Night vision achieves relatively little improvement on night vision because of a poor beam pattern, which increases the blinding of other road users. This is because their headlight housings are designed for halogen and not xenon.

A true Bi-Xenon projector update is now possible for your car. Such an upgrade will significantly improve your light output from 700-2100 lumens to 2800 and 3500 lumens, without blinding other traffic with glare from your headlight. Upgrade your headlight OEM style!

The latest high power Led bulbs will upgrade both the exterior and interior lighting system of your car. Led lighting is becoming more and more popular in the automotive market for obvious reasons. They have longer lifetime, use less energy and improve safety with their fast response time.
