replacement Projektzwo fog light assembly (a Hella-made item) - noticed that

the setup originally).

vwsport.com changed to 1552design.com  They don't list anything for the
Vanagon these days...just the eurovan.  But they do distribute Pzwo so you
may give them a call.

rectangular headlights.  Had a chance to examine up close and talk to the
owner.  They were E-spec that matched my Es in every visual respect, but had
a different number molded into the glass.  He said that they were stock on
European Sciroccos (hmmm?) and that he had obtained the entire assembly
(both hi-lo and hi beams with the necessary carriers) somewhat directly from
Hella, having paid significantly less than the price I paid for my
VW/Audi-boxed hi-lo beams.

I looked into this a few years ago.  Scirocco and Vanagon lights are not
interchangeable.....well not without custom fabrication at least...
