Jeff,

The Bentley says nothing whatsoever about license plate lights.  I'll admit
I didn't think of anything as simple as looking in my owners' manual!

But my tenacity may give out.  My reliable, fuel-efficient, and air
conditioned Prius is looking better and better, albeit small...  And I
suspect there are Toyota dealers all over the US, that's who works on
hybrids.

But assuming I do continue in my spacious but poorly-performing Vanagon, you
mentioned other parts sources.  Bus Depot has headlight assemblies for
$100/light and fuel pumps for $150.  Do you know of other sources for new
equipment that would be cheaper and/or quicker?  I didn't see any headlights
on ebay.  My experiences with Bus Depot have been just fine, so I'm leaning
towards just ordering them.

Joy
