Sorry, Don but I think you're wrong.  Britian never got square
headlights on their 'Vanagons'.  All the square ones in Britian are LHD
ones taken off LHD models imported in (like this one).  All RHD Vanagons
(T25) until 1991 had round headlights.  Some owners will take square LHD
ones and fit them on their RHD T25s though.



Mike,

Are you sure? I am not saying your info is incorrect but I do know that
there are RHD versions of the square headlight.
For example, all Australian (RHD) T3s came standard with square
headlights (the Euro type) from 1988 until 1992.

I am aware that in the UK, the round headlight configuration was
retained longer and was the norm however, I would very much doubt that
appropriate square headlights for RHD models i.e., with the light
pattern directed to the left, would have only been made available for
markets such as Australia and South Africa.

If however, no RHD square headlights were ever made available to the UK,
I stand corrected...
