Subject:Re: WTB: Round Headlight assembly from '85 and older

I've owned old and new vanagons with round and square lights. The round
lights with the bus depot or other similar upgrade is a world apart from
any other vanagon lighting. The way that the light is bright like a
"modern" car with an evenly filled field of light below a sharp cutoff,
with that "up-angle" on the right to see roadside stuff better just can't
be beat.

You can make square headlights better by cleaning them thoroughly, not a
simple thing to do sometimes. You can make any of them better, including
the round ones, by giving them better wiring and grounds.
