Fellows and Fellaws: I got Bus Depot E-4 round replacement headlights. Had some troubles installing them, apparently the retaining ring of *MY* Westfalia was deeper than needed. Got four o-rings 4.5 inches diameter, cut and paste around the headlights and into the retaining ring. I can see MUCH better know. Lights are brighter and more open pattern. Have no intention of going back to H-4. Price: 34.95+3.00 (and two auto-inflicted head bumps trying to figure out how to mount them). ----- Original Message ----- From: Pete Cassidy <pcassidy@APPLE.COM> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Monday, August 09, 1999 1:49 PM Subject: Re: dim headlights
