Matthew,
I have always heard that the round vanagon light pattern was much better
than the square. I think there was a thread on this last year. You will also
find that "quality" H4 replacement round units will be a dramatic
improvement over the standard halogen sealed beam round units or square
units. All this said, my westy has Sylvania halogen sealed beams that I
salvaged off my RX7 parts car.. They work.
