I dont know why anyone would install motorcycle headlights in a car. They arent better, they are different. Motorcycle headlights send out a tighter, longer reaching beam while a car headlight sends out a more spread out beam. You need the more spreadout car headlight beam to safely light the road ahead.

The right solution is to upgrade to newer car HID headlights, assuming they are available fo Vanagons.

Hello, my previous owner spent $451 to get the headlamps converted to Bosch motorcycle headlights - "BOSCH H2 000 SAE76 DOT 1305 603 038" headlights and the output still kinda sucks. I bought a pair of driving lights to go along with this. Anybody ever heard of this conversion before? =
