Perhaps sending the item number as opposed to the mega long link that
doesn't work.


There are basically two types of Vanagon lights
from 86-92


H4 for Europe
9003 for North America


As for HID kits in these - DON'T DO IT - at least not on the low
beam.  The "ball of light" made by a HID kit is larger than
the ball of light made by a halogen so it will make a very bright, but not
a crisply focused light as you are used to.  If you have a 9003 setup
- it will make it just plain suck and everyone will bright you.


HID kits on the high beams work pretty good!
