The only place I know where the DE twin head lamps kit is available in the US is from www.fastgermanauto.com.  There web site is not very good (in fact horrible -I use it as an example of how NOT to design web sites!)  The only way you can see the picture of the head light (and in fact all the other stuff they sell for Vanagons) is if you down load their whole catalog in pdf format.  I forgot what the exact price is but you can call them at 888-211-3334.  The p/n is 103-025-000-0 DE Projector Twin Head Lamp Kit and includes the front grill.
