I would agree with George as far as I do recommend going with Hella
foglights as well. I have these available in the very nice looking/very
functional Projecktzwo foglight kit. You can see a picture of it here:
http://www.vanagain.com/Accessories.htm#German
This kit not only looks cool, but puts out a lot of light. There is no
drilling, cutting, mangling necessary to install this kit. Simply take out
your turn signal lens and two screws from your lower grille. Install the
foglight housing and reinstall these screws and the turn signals. The fog
lights are installed. Electrical wiring plugs into your fuse panel and a
relay plugs into a vacant spot in the panel (86-91 vanagon). You can
install this within 30 mins with only a philips head screw driver.
At night this put out a lot of light. If you were thinking of getting the
H4 square lights to help with the poor DOT low beams, these fog lights would
be a good investment. I have been running them on my van for three years
now. I have poor night vision, and they are a God send.
Let me know if you are interested. If anyone who got in on the last fog
light group purchase wants to chime in here, feel free.
Thanks,

Brian,
Even if I knew where to buy Bosch fog lights, I wouldn't tell you. I have
had Bosch, Hella and Cibie auxillary lights; over the long haul, the Bosch
are junk compared to the others. For one thing, the Bosch reflectors are
metal which is the hallmark of a cheap light because it will eventually it
will leak and rust. Go with Hella and you will be happy. As I have
recommended before, all things Hella can be bought from Susquehanna
Motorsports (http://catalog.com/susq/index.htm). Susquehanna's prices are
hands-down the best, they really have all they offer in stock, and their
packaging cannot be faulted.
George
