Nice assortment there !
Just beware of putting anything over 60/55 W in your Vanagon, especially if
you have the square lights !
It will give a nice bright light for starters but after a while you might
get the same experience that I did with reflectors turning yellowish, glass
that cracked, short life on the bulbs and at the end a wire meltdown!
The lights on the Vanagon are too small to get rid of all the heat that
builds up with the more  "powerful" bulbs, itīs a much better investment to
get the relay upgrade shown f.ex. on Stern lightings webpage and get full
voltage to the 60/55 W bulbs !
