Ben,

  If you have an '85 and earlier van, get the e-code lights.  I put them on my '84 Hershey and I'm extremely satisfied.  If you have an '86 or newer van, I can recommend from experience  Hella XL driving lights which I used on my '85 Camel with good results.

  I like e-code headlights better, especially since I'm using higher wattage bulbs and relays.

  Check out Daniel Stern lighting for lots of good advice on lighting.

  I'm NO gadget guy... so i'm having trouble finding a web-source (a good one)
for fog light/day ligh/driving light. I'm looking for VERY thin (not deep) 5
or 6in round light, as i know nothing about all those (fog VS night driving
VS dayligh) i'm seeking help!

What i want is simple!

Additional light for night driving! Like when it's to dark on a small road,
you hit the switch and BANG, so i guess i want something equilvalent to high
beam. Now, i hate the look of square for light on bumper... not for me!

As i'm to poor to buy the S. African one (and i'm nor even shure it's GOOD),
i want a similar look (yea, i'm getting esthetic, i now officially hate
myself for that!!! Men, i miss my olf rusted 73 brown Bus!), i have an idea
to built 2 support/brakets just beside my main light, same height, but more
inside, over the grill, so the new light will be in front of the stock
grill (how the heck do you write "grille, grill, grid???), so they the to be
shallow (not deep) but big enough and round!!!!! i would say about 2.5in
deep at most!

So, i'm a clear or like always my English doesn't make sense :-)

Anyone have seen that kind of light?

Ben
ps.: i have NO choice to stay in the "Esthetic world" with my Red van,
dargn, some one slap me out of that mood....
