Hi All,

Gmbulley wrote about a friend installing Vanagon lights in his
Scirocco, I think his friend installed the euro spec Scirocco lights.
While they look like US spec Vanagon lights, the European spec
Scirocco lights have a totally different light pattern from the ones
on a Vanagon, just look at the lense itself and you can see the
difference.  I also did this update to my '87 Scirocco when I had it
and the difference is incredible, lots of light going down the road
instead of lots of light going nowhere in particular!
