There has been a lot of discussion about the best way to deal with the
inferior low beams on the Vanagon.

My '87 Westy came with a set of non-working driving lights mounted above the
bumper, and I figured the cheapest way to deal with it was to fix them.

To make a long story short, after playing with the wiring and relay,  that
part appears to be OK, but one of the lights is pretty trashed, and the
other has a broken part, so it might be simplest thing is to leave the
existing wiring and replace the lights themselves.  They are 55 watt bulbs,
so I think I should stay with that size.

Does Bosch sell spare parts for driving lights?  Their site didn't list
parts. One of the lights just needs the plastic piece at the bottom that
holds the lens in replaced.

Anybody out there have a suggestion for an inexpensive set of lights that
gives good results?  I have been looking on the net, and it's hard to tell
what's the best way to go.  I'm looking for lights that work particularly
well to supplement the low beams?

Thanks
