I was pursuing this question not too long ago and did get a hopeful
response.  I had found a firm in Canada called PG Performance that seems to
do alot with high performance lighting.  I e-mailed them asking if there was
an "e-code" H-4 direct replacement for the square hi-low beams on Vanagons.
I got a response saying yes there was, and that it would cost $350(!!)
Canadian.  The response was very brief with no detail so I e-mailed back
asking for specifics.  That was more than a month ago and I have not heard
back.

So, anyone interested in this possibility contact PG Performance at
info@pgperformance.com.  Maybe if alot of us do this we can get there
attention and get a meaningful response.
