Hi Volks, I just finished installing a new motor in a fellow LiMBO member's '87 Syncro camper. (thats a storie in itself) Anyway, I was checking the bus over for an inpection sticker and I noticed a couple of things on it that looked different from other Vanagon's I have driven or owned. I noticed the headlights have 'H4' instead of 'Halogen' in the glass and I noticed the front directional lenses have notches in them between the screw holes. Both parts are stock parts, they look identical to my friends '90 camper, other than the for-mentioned differences. I never noticed these on other syncros. (never really looked either) I'll have to check my Microfishe and see if the part numbers are different between 2wd and 4wd Vanagons. Are the headlights any brighter than stock squares? They seem fairly bright but I don't have anything to compare it to. I have no idea what purpose the notches in the directional lenses would serve, although I like the look. Just wondering if anyone else noticed these items. Take care. -- -Jim DiGennaro ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LiMBO, The Late Model Bus Organization, international zzzzzzzzzzz_ |E[__] [__]|[_]\\ | _ LiMBO | _ || =-( )---------( )--= James Digennaro, LiMBO's Editor and Web master. * 34 Summer St., Adams, MA 01220 ICQ# 5534528 LiMBO LINE: (413) 743-1814 * URL: http://www.bcn.net/~limbo/ 'Transporters By The Tunnel' - A fun camping event ' July 16th-18th Currently Busless..... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
