Phil, you can easily transplant the round headlights and grill from a pre-86 Vanagon to a later model with the rectangular lights. You'll have to change the wiring connectors, but that's pretty easy to do. And the '86 and '87 model years come with chrome bumpers (with a black rubber impact strip). -Mark McCulley 87 syncro Westfalia (with round lights and chrome bumpers)

Will this switch work or did VW change the grill mounts? I also want to put the chrome bumpers back on with the final touch of the classic chrome VW hubcaps. phil 84' Westy _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com |
