Howdy All, I am in the middle of installing my new South African grill and dual round lights onto my '87 Vanagon. It isn't going quite as planned. I have already consulted the archive, but I haven't found what I was looking for. It was easy to install the round H4 lights. The inner lights supplied with the kit I purchased from Bus Depot do not bolt on as I had anticipated. The inner lights that came with the kit are pre-mounted on brackets. The question is how this bracket mounts onto the front of the Vanagon. It appears as if I must remove the tab (which is held on by 2 pop rivets) that the previous headlight frame (for rectangular lights) was mounted to. It then appears that I must do my best to line up the light bracket where I think it should go (using the grill as a guide). From there I should mark where I need to drill holes to mount this light bracket. Do I have it right? Do I need to first remove that riveted tab? Do I just have to line up where I think the light/bracket assembly needs to go and then drill my holes? Am I missing something? Is there any other advice? I have all the wiring in place and I am just ready to bolt in these last lights. By the way, the new grill looks great. I have it temporarily mounted along with the H4s. Nice.
