I beg to differ. My Vanagon came originally with 9004, not 9003. And I have
HIDs and they are great, although I have H4s. Don't worry if the vanagon is
not listed, the kit should fit, the connectors are what matter. And get the
hi/lo kit, it's worth the extra money, and if you have the square
headlights, get the driving lights kit as well.
