        That's odd...I distinctly remember that ALL the light units on
        my 86.5 (California + US Spec) 16v Scirocco were IDENTICAL in size
        AND were RECTANGULAR SEALED  BEAMs (the smaller than the V'gon's) ...

        Be nice to find a source for E-spec assemblies, anyway, at a
        reasonable price! Compared to the 7" round Cibie Bobi headlights on my
        previous 85 Westfalia, my 90 and 91 Vanagons' rectangular OEM USspec
        lights SUCK!
