I am also using Sylvania "Extra" lights on my '85 and they seem to do fine
for around town driving.  I am about to install some Hella driving lights to
help out on those country roads where I can't always use my high beams.  I
was lucky to find a fog light switch, factory VW, that is a perfect match to
my Vanagon switches.  I'll be installing it in the blank spot on the lower
right side of the dash.

Chris.
