> All- > > I've been perusing the archives looking for info on obtaining a replacement Projektzwo fog light assembly (a Hella-made item) - noticed that vwsport.com is evidently a goner (I seem to remember that's where I bought the setup originally).

vwsport.com changed to 1552design.com They don't list anything for the Vanagon these days...just the eurovan. But they do distribute Pzwo so you may give them a call.

> Also, noticed over the weekend a Scirocco with what appeared to be Vanagon rectangular headlights. Had a chance to examine up close and talk to the owner. They were E-spec that matched my Es in every visual respect, but had a different number molded into the glass. He said that they were stock on European Sciroccos (hmmm?) and that he had obtained the entire assembly (both hi-lo and hi beams with the necessary carriers) somewhat directly from Hella, having paid significantly less than the price I paid for my VW/Audi-boxed hi-lo beams. > > Since he was working, I didn't have the opportunity to quiz him further on the source. These may be an option for those of you with rectangular lights who want a better unit. > > Q: I'm still puzzled about the difference in lens numbering - do you suppose that there are actual differences in the lens base upon the installed height difference between a Scirocco and a Vanagon?

I looked into this a few years ago. Scirocco and Vanagon lights are not interchangeable.....well not without custom fabrication at least...
