Jack,
If you plan on using higher wattage bulbs you must have a bigger amperage
realy kit installed.
This would have eliminated the melting fuse box problem.
Do a web search for Susquehanna Motorsports.
They have the best prices on Hella Light bulbs, and are very nice people to
deal with.
They ship very fast.
I would suggest the best place to get a real nice relay kit, but the last
time I suggested using something from him I was run over here.

What the heck.
Contact Terry Kay for the big amp relays.
He has a very nice, and easy to install kit available and as far as I have
found has the best price on the internet.

You can locate him at thesamba.com in the Vanagon parts section.

I think it actually took me 30 minutes and one cold beer to get the relays
installed.
It was an easy job.

Ron
