Content-Type: multipart/alternative;


Hi All,
    The head light ground and most of the vans front grounds are behind the fuse panel. Remove the lower 2 screws and drop the fuse panel down to gain access. It is a pretty small wire and ground set up to carry all the head light current imho. However if you increase the size of the ground you will be pushing more current through the already stressed light switch, ignition switch, and dimmer switch. Carry some spares in your glove box.  
    If one does a complete rewire of the head lights from the battery to ground via relays controlled by the above circuit the head lamps instantly become adequate, even on late vans. After a proper running engine,  headlight relays should be near the top of any to do list. Now if I could just get my wasser boxers all running well.
