Hi All,

Was looking to purchase the headlight relay kit from Volkscafe.com and found out they do not have a discount for Vanagon.com list serv members just an FYI.

I was looking to purchase the relay kit and new bulb replacements, they sell these $84 PIAA bulbs that they claim are much better (birghter at the same wattage) than the standard high wattage 80/100 watt bulbs.

What are peoples experience with these bulbs, are they worth it for driving/brightıs?

What are other good replacement bulbs at the 80/100 wattage?

Whatıs the difference with between the $85 dollar bulbs and the $25 dollar bulbs I see?

What are the Xennon lights?

If I want to add the newer relay kit with high wattage bulbs can I also add a set of Hella XLıs without problem on the fuseıs and electrical system?

Is the VolksCafe relay kit better than Busdepot or any other companies? Your feedback?

Thanks, Robert NYC Carat 89

Thank you for the inquiry, but I have just one price which I try to keep as low as possible while still making a fair profit. I have this past month updated the pricing on the whole site with many more prices being lowered than raised. These PIAA bulbs are expensive because they put out brighter light while drawing the same current that the stock light draw. Although the PIAA lights are the top of the line, the other lights will work when you have the relay kit. If you would like I can sell you the $25 pair as well (80/100 watt) . You can also get a set of the high beams (100 watt) for $25 as well. If interested then place your normal shopping cart order and then send an email asking me to add these. Thanks Again, Peter http://volkscafe.com (Online Vanagon Parts Store)
