If I remember right there two types of rear light cluster - i.e. two
different companies - I think they look the same from a distance but lots of
differences close up - I remember when I was de-USA'ing my van for use in
the UK I had to fiddle areound with the rear lights and, after buying the
wrong type from a scrap yard, realised there were differences - off the top
of my head I can't remember the two brands.

        Just got my order from the BD.  I ordered two sets of the Euro tail
lights, now what do we do with them ?  They do not accept the light bulb
socket of our North American Vanagons !  The rear of the lens assembly is
totally different and there is no way short of a tube of silicone to use our
light socket base.  Ron, what's up with this ?  If there is no solution I
guess I will be returning mine.  Also got the rear seat zippered pouch.
Well, not sure that's was worth the $69.95.  Rita says she can sew one up
for
less that half that amount.  Nothing fancy about it at all, just a really
big
zippered pouch made from grey material with some snaps.  No sign that it's
official Westfalia except on the box.  Maybe we're supposed to cut and paste
that logo on to the pouch to make it look cool !
