This all depends on what size bulb you install in there. Assuming you go
with the "stock" 55/60W bulb you will see, seat-of-the-pants, twice as much
as you did with the sealed beams in there. I run 80/100s in my 1984
Westfalia and I could not ask for better. Drivers do NOT "flash" me - and I
have seen my van coming at me at night - NOT blinding light as the whole
purpose of the H4 is to have better AIMED light and not more of it. Picture
that grade school film projector - when it was in focus it was great -
slightly out and it was miserable!
In case you are interested I have new Bosch European H4s for the Vanagon
with 55/60W bulbs, park lights (true European lights have park lights IN
them!), weather boots and installation instructions for $80 USD - Vanagon
List members will get free shipping on these.
I also have some used Hella European H4s coming in on the 7th that are as
above only they come with the entire light "bucket" - price for these are
$65 USD including shipping.

Howdy!
I need some advice - anybody know the output of the H4 euro style round
halogen
headlights offered at places like the Bus Depot versus the light output from
regular halogens like sylvania? I want the best lighting I can get but don't
want to spend money for something that's just different and not any better
than
regular halogens.
Thanks in advance!
