Dave,
The international standard H4 headlight bulb has totally different base
from your 87 Vanagon's with DOT bulb (6004).  You need to get a H4
receptacle/connector for your new H4 bulb unless they come with your H4
unit.  A newly DOT approved HB4 bulb which has been widely used by Honda
has the same physical dimensions as H4 bulb though.  Which means you should
be able to get these receptacle/connector AND rubber cap/seals (to cover up
the receptacle/connector and prevent the dust to get in) from Honda dealer.
