This is a really cheap and easy upgrade to any '80-85 Vanagon that makes a
huge difference. We sell 3 different options, starting at $35/pair. It's
worth noting that technically H4 headlights are not street-legal in the
U.S., so it is possible (athough rather rare) for you to get hassled at
inspection time. (So it may be worth keeping your old sealed-beams; it only
takes a few minutes to swap back.)  Therefore we specify that they are
intended for off-road use only.  Hella does make a street-legal version
(also on our site), although it is pricier and not quite as bright as the
others.

Link (note that some are priced each and some per pair, and that some come
with bulbs and some not, as noted):
