Mark,

The difference is in the reflector. A brighter bulb does not make the dark
spot in the middle of the light pattern go away. I brought a dozen of good
used ones last month from Europe. If there is enough interest, I can have
more sent to me. It's not cost effective to ship them one by one. The
rectangular ones are quite rare even in Europe because most of their T3's
(Vanagons) came with round headlights. The rectangular lights came on the
special editions such as X-star edition vans and trucks.
