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).
