So after the South Dakota tornado on June 30 had its way with my van, I had to replace my grille... I opted for the South African, seeing as I already had the round headlights and pockets. What I've found out is that the lights for the high intensity kit, do not fit in the current head light casing. First, there is a metal piece that appears to cover the bulb (which I can/did remove) in order to accommodate the length of the bulb. Once I removed that bit, I noticed that the circumference of the bulb is smaller than the opening. >.< (that's what she said)... Anyway, I have the grill, the bulbs... but no light. I already swapped the 8" plugs for the new bulbs... As for the smaller, inner lights, the attachment/plug from the '87 model, is two parallel plugs, not the 'T' config of the 80/100W. How have those of you with the SA Kit, managed to fen-angle it to work? 1987 Vanagon Syncro Camper. Robby
