I have these lights as a kit available on my website.  They are $399 which
includes the two light housings, the bulbs, the connectors and all of the
headlight adjusters.  You can check them out at www.vanagain.com  I have a
picture of the light on the front page of my site.

Thanks,
Ken Wilford

Here's what you need to buy - Euro versions of the same thing.  No relays
required.  Just plug in and use standard H4/9003 bulbs 55w/60.

  Just email him asking if he is willing to ship to America.  They usually
do.

  Good luck.

  I know there have been endless threads covering dim headlights, but
perhaps someone can offer advice on my particular case;
- stock '87 Westy rectangular/square lights
- Very dim indeed!
I tried replacing the high/low beam bulbs with xenon blue bulbs. This
changes the light from yellow to white but does not help visibility much. My
next step is to install the relays and higher power bulbs. However, the
glass lenses are very fogged and I think this may be contributing to the
problem
- Could this be dirt and if so, any suggestions on how to get inside the
units to clean them? Thanks, Mike, '87 Westy

P.S. for those of you with 80-85 round headlight models, here is what I did
for my old '85 Westy;
- Replaced the 7" sealed units with 'Sylvania Halogen Performance Plus'
units (~$25 each from Kragen's). These are standard wattage, but have the
'whiter' light and better lenses. These improved the situation enormously, I
decided that this was enough without installing relays/higher power bulbs
