        I've never been the least bit fond of the Rounds on the Vanagon ~ My
83.5Westy has Rounds with Phillips H4s & while they are VeryNice the
combination of Relays & SilverStarUltras

on my 90Westy gives all the light these 67yrOld eyes need. Don't like
BIG logos on cars either, I think it makes them look cheap.
