I installed the round H4 headlights from www.fastforward.ca on my '85 westy
with the standard 55/60W bulbs, and am really satisfied with the results.
Nice visibility on low and high, with a clear cutoff line to adjust easily.
I don't think I need to go with the 80/100W bulbs. My 2000 Golf uses 55/60W,
why does the van need more? 80/100W is a lot of juice.
Cheers
Joachim
