Jeff,

The Bentley says nothing whatsoever about license plate lights. I'll admit I didn't think of anything as simple as looking in my owners' manual!

But my tenacity may give out. My reliable, fuel-efficient, and air conditioned Prius is looking better and better, albeit small... And I suspect there are Toyota dealers all over the US, that's who works on hybrids.

But assuming I do continue in my spacious but poorly-performing Vanagon, you mentioned other parts sources. Bus Depot has headlight assemblies for $100/light and fuel pumps for $150. Do you know of other sources for new equipment that would be cheaper and/or quicker? I didn't see any headlights on ebay. My experiences with Bus Depot have been just fine, so I'm leaning towards just ordering them.

Joy
