You should be able to buy those high outputs bulbs at any decent FLAPS.  The
square headlight Vanagon's use standard 9004 bulbs and most FLAPS carry
those in many different versions with the highest being 100W high beams and
80W lows.  Shouldn't cost you more than $8 or $9 each.  If they try to
charge you more than that, send me an email and I'll sell them to you for $7
each...

The relay upgrade is a really good idea, especially if you plan on putting
high wattage bulbs in.

Cheers,

Frank Condelli sells high output bulbs for later vans. I
would suggest a relay upgrade as well:

>Hey Volks,
>Sorry for jumping on this one a little late but what is the
most reasonably priced headlight upgrade while keeping the
square grill? Are there any direct replacements that are same
size but brighter?(I like the  square look better than the
round). I didn,t think they were that bad until I drove my
wife's Subaru the other nite --wow what a difference. Thanks
for all the help.
