My kit was purchased in 10/2016, and it's possible they have made some changes, but the turn signal indicator is all but invisible during the day, and the blue high beam indicator is eyeball-searing at night, like, had-to-put-tape-over-it bright. They used 100kOhm resistors to drive both. I'm currently working on finding different resistor values for both, and had intended to make a detailed post when finished, but initial indications are that 470k for the high beams and 2k for the turns might be good compromises for day/night visibility. Also interested in a reliability/philosophy/Zen and the Art of Vanagon Maintenance thread, as I feel I've had to make some serious mental rearrangements as a result of Vanagon ownership. -Alex
