Hi Gang,

Has anyone replaced their late Vanagon headlights with regular
rectangular E-Code headlights and lived to tell about it?

I'm planning on this conversion on my '88, and don't want to reinvent
the wheel unless I really need to.

The main area of difficulty that I can see are mounting the darn things
as the Vanagon uses unique hardware etc., and of course I plan to
install relays into the circuit as I always do.

The main reason I want to do this is the standard rectangular lenses
are far cheaper than the standard Vanagon lights, let alone the E code
ones.  I miss the Hellas that I had on my '84.

Thanks,
