I recently stopped selling the $35 set because I got a half-price deal on Bosch ones, for only $10 more. The $35 generics were the best in their price range, and well worth the price considering that at the time name brand ones were $80 to $90 a pair. But as long as I have these Bosch ones for nearly the same price ($45 a pair plus $8 for a pair of German made bulbs), there is no other H4 headlight even worth considering in my opinion. They are great headlights, for well below original wholesale. I'm not usually one to throw around superlatives, but if you are still using sealed-beams on your 80-85 Vanagon, you would be crazy not to grab a set at this price. It is definitely the best $50 you will ever spend on your Vanagon.
