Yes, you are wrong.  Vanagon rectangular headlights are not the same as
those domestic GM rectangular sealed beams, hence the reason for the big
discussion.....

Yes, I know for a fact they exist, as I have owned several early and mid 90's Chevy vans which used rectangular sealed beam headlights, as well as one 1993 Jeep Wrangler with rectangular headlights (remember those? Jeep purists went NUTS and they went back to round headlights.) I would assume those sealed beam headlights were the same size as those used in Vanagons, but maybe I'm wrong, like I said, my '89 is the first rectangular headlight Vanagon I've owned, and since it has no engine, I'm not worried about the headlights...yet.
