He has a '91, down the page is says about the switch needed for the '91,
"Headlight Switch - Check description 251.941.531T,  "Sorry, this
item is out of stock. Please
<http://www.van-cafe.com/home/van/contact_main.html>contact us for
expected availability.

It does say some '89 or '90 models MIGHT have that switch... if you
