>you recommended Joel?

:) of COURSE you do! ;) they were Hella Vision Plus High-Performance Halogen
Headlights. and i've found a cheaper place to get them:

Leon Rosser Jeep 888.348.2037 (http://www.thinkjeep.com/manufacturers/hella/)
only $34.50 EACH :( part # 70477 (7" round headlamp, sold individually).
yeah, i know: it says "fits 76-78 cherokee etc etc". but a 7" round headlight
fits ANY car that takes it ... including ALL vw buses from 1968 to 1985
(don't know if it fits the 65-67 buses).

>Or is there a reasonable alternative?

well ... you can start out spending about $10-13 for the GE High-Output
lights at Wal-Mart and K-mart and see if you like them.  but for my money,
i'll buy the Hellas every time.

good luck!
