I fancy changing the front lights set up on my van to the square double lights , is this easily done and where could i get them

Prepare to dig very deep and don't be surprised if the ones you find are LH driver only and/or cracked.

Have you considered fitting modern round headlights? Done right they can not only look cool, they can be very bright and far more focused. A pair will cost around £30 and leave Hella units standing. Square setup could cost you £300+

Which lights are compatible and direct swaps?

Nothing better to do than sit around campsites, drinking German beer and playing o WiFi


Mine are new headlamps and ok on FB but dip is poor and i'd happily upgrade with something better

Above thread covers this in some detail. You'll need to check your existing headlight frames to ensure they have the three recesses to accept lucas-style units (most do). The ones I'm using (which passed MOT no prob) are on page 2 but theres at least four to choose from. CJH, lower down the page, opted for the angel-eye ones.

Not much point starting a new thread to cover the same ground, but if you're still keen on square, others will advise in this thread I'm sure. Its just cheaper and arguably a better result to upgrade the round ones thats all. Read through - its all covered.

The other side of this (and you need to consider this) is voltage drop: https://club8090.co.uk/wiki/VW ... ry_to_dash" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
