       Neil, yes, but it would be very wise to install the relay set-up 
first, then you will need to change the fuse on the high beams to 15 amp.  
Also make sure that all the wires terminating in the light bulb sockets are 
in good non-corroded condition.  See my <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/hdltrela.htm">Vanagon Headlamp Relay Upgrade</A> 
webpage for complete details.
