Thanks for the reply. Is this the same for the 1988 VW T25?
Re: Round Glass Headlight Fixing for VW T25
I should think so yes. As it's a late van. I would have thought early vans were the same.

The glass is glued onto the reflector , and is not held in by the metalwork to the best of my knowledge .
Early and late are the same

My glass fell off so I used Gorilla glue, clamped it for 24hrs and all good a year or so later.

Re: Round Glass Headlight Fixing for VW T25
My Hella H4 headlamps lenses were bonded onto the bowls with a grey sealant.
But I am not convinced that it is adequate when it gets warm.
One lens had slipped out of position in storage.
I would have used Sikaflex as I have found that goo much more secure.

I used bathroom sealant several years ago. The old seal had failed and they were half full of water…

As for better lighting, do the relay upgrade , and add nightbreaker bulbs.

Take the grill off and undo the four screws that hold the headlight frame to the van , then undo the adjusters
