There is nothing that could be wrong with the headlight that should cost
more than $20 to fix. That assumes you do it yourself. You can! Get a
cheap digital multimeter. HarborFright sells them for about $5 much of
the time. Then get a spare 9 volt battery for it. Use this battery to
make sure you can measure volts with your new meter. Before measuring
for 12 volts on your van check that you can measure 9 volts on your
little 9 volt battery. This will give you confidence that you have the
meter set right and know at least enough of what you are doing to then
check for 12 volts.
