I have done "The Vendors" brighter rear bulb update as well as the front end 

of my Van.



Not only do I feel a lot safer durring the daylight hours, I feel confident 

that I can be seen at night, when the stock candlepower bulbs really make me 

feel unsafe at any speed.



I have had the lamp update in my Vanagon for over a year with no noticeable 

damage to the bulb holder's, or wiring.



This is another one of the smaller in size updates available for your 

Vanagon that is really large in value as far a safety issue goes.



I'm real happy with the bright lamps from "The Vendor".: )
