The stock headlights on the '86 up Vanagons are pretty poor. There are a
couple of ways you can upgrade depending on how far you want to go:

1) Our VisionKit2 includes higher output bulbs and a relay kit. This is the
best upgrade that uses your existing headlights.

2)  Our South African grill kit upgrades you to a four-round-headlight
setup, and includes an excellent set of Bosch H4's. This is the best upgrade
available. (Note, it is currently backordered for about 3-4 weeks.)  You can
combine this with a relay kit and 90/100 watt bulbs if you want to really go
all out, but even without them the difference will be pronounced.

on that page)

3) As a possible middle ground, you can switch to an '80-85 grill and a set
of Bosch H4's. This requires a few different items so I can send links on
request. 

For those who want to improve their stock '80-85 headlights, our Bosch H4
headlights are a huge improvement in and of themselves for around $50/pair
with the bulbs, and are even better if combined with relays as part of our
VisionKit. (Or you too can go all out and do the South African grill thing
linked above.)
