Helmut,

I have a question that maybe you can help me with. I'm under the impression that you're in Germany, if so this is where you can be a real help. Of course if you're not...I feel rather dumb. ;)

When I was in Berlin in the summer of '95 I saw a couple of interesting light set-ups on Vanagons.

I saw late model vans ('86 and up) with round headlights (in the US they would've been rectangular) that weren't the normal 7" (18 cm ?) but much larger like 9" (23 cm). I saw these on all the police and ambulance Vans as well as regular Vans. What were these lights, and are they available as a modification? Or are they a government only type option.

A second set-up had the normal round head lights but with driving lights in the grille similar to the later model GTI's (up to '91). Do you know anything about these?

Both of these would be great light upgrades so any info would be really helpful. I'll be back in Europe this summer, but it's hard for me to get good info since I don't speak German.

Thanks

James
