So a few months ago I posted that I had a set of H4 lights I was trying to sell for the later model Vanagons (square) to Canada. No one up there bit so I got the lights sent to Dave Arthur in Canada and then he turned around and sent them to me (thanks again Dave). My original thought was to sell them to someone here in the US. But as I waited for them to arrive I thought, "Why don't I install them on my van?" So I did. They are very nice. Much brighter than the stock ones and even low beams, although not much brighter, puts more light down on the road. Before we used to have a fog light kit on our old van and when we turned this on we could get good light on the road but sometimes people flashed us. With the H4 lights you get a bunch more light on the road with low beams and no one is flashing you. I am tempted to upgrade the wiring and go for the high wattage bulbs. I think they would made an even better difference. I have a hard time seeing at night so I need all the help I can get. Just wanted to let you know my experience with this. It took about 30 mins to install them since I didn't bother to wire up the city lights (what is the point?). If you are interested in these for your van you will find my kit listed on my website.
