Couple of things here about Vanagon headlamp upgrades.  First, is a 40 
amp relay preferable over a 30 amp relay using the stock headlight bulbs on a 
square headlighted Vanagon ?  Second, I have found 100/80 watt, XENON WHITE, 
9004 bulbs by LIGHT GLOW @ $27.71 ea. and 100/80 watt, XENON WHITE, 9004 
bulbs, by Hella @ $51.95/set of 2, at Canadian Tire (special order 
catalogue).  Anyone with any experience using these high powered light bulbs 
in the square headlighted Vanagon ?  Wires need enlarged ?  Bulb socket ?  
Heat & Plastic problems ?  Will the 30 amp relay work with these or is 
necessary to use the 40 amp relay ?
