In no order of preference: 1) Buy E-code Vanagon light set from David Marshall and such. Or find a friend in Germany... 2) Buy South African 4-light round grille from James Cohen and such, and use round H-4 lights obtained locally. 3) Modify existing setup to take standard rectangular H-4 lights obtained locally. You need buckets from a junkyard, I think, and the lights of course don't follow the subtle profile that makes the dealer ones dealer. But the difference is small and some folks find it quite acceptable. I'm sure this is the cheapest route, and the most work. 4) ??? david At 09:09 AM 3/28/2001, James Creech wrote: >but as a relatively new owner I've never fully understood the lingo.
