I uprated my lights with relays but the square had a far better spread than the round.

To which they suit.
If you want to be brighter why not fit an HID kit?

Depending on how it was done. All you should have to do is bend the metal tabs back down and alter the wiring back to standard.
I'm in Tolworth so if you need a hand let me know.

Nothing to do with wanting more than the amount of light the headlamps should be pumping out had VW designed the wiring properly. Fitting relays get's the full voltage to the headlamps. Square lights just ensure you get that extra brightness over a larger area.

What age is your van? Are the headlights round or square? If it's a late one (89 ->) then twin square headlights are as fitted in the factory and the inner pair are the main beam and the outer pair are dipped headlights.
If they are round, the inner pair could have been fitted by a previous owner and their purpose is anyone's guess. Do you have dipped and main beam headlights?
