I've installed the tail light/rear fog light kit in two Westy Vanagons from Mark 1 VWs in Walkersville MD. For 20 bucks you get two higher watt tail light bulbs and two bulbs with pig tails soldered to them to install in the fog light socket. The kit is nice, and easy to install, the only issue I've had is the the pigtails just need to be an 1/8" longer. Does add a significant amount of brightness to the tail lights. AFAIK, he only offers them through Ebay. Browsing through Terry Kay's site, he does have some nice stuff for Vanagons, but the one that cracked me up was the air conditioner attachment. I made one of these years ago for a Bay Westy, modified it a bit when I bought a Vanagon. Made mine for less than $100.00, including the cost of the air conditioner (In September, Target marks down 5000 BTU a/c units to as little as $25.00) It doesn't look as pretty as the one Terry sells, but it works!
