Never been happy w/ the output from my headlights on my 93 Weekend MV. Has anyone tried the HE replacement bulbs from GoWesty? http://www.gowesty.com/product-details.php?id=24115 - looks like this would work well (and better than stock). I haven't found any other solutions outside of this.. does anyone know of any other lighting upgrades? Or do these GoWesty bulbs make a big difference?

I've been thinking about these:

What are those/where are they from?

They are a German aftermarket "angel eyes" lights. Search for "T4" headlights and you'll find a bunch of options.

After a couple weeks of waiting, my lights came in. While bolting them in is simple, they seem to have a different connector than the OEM lights. The OEM lights have an external 3 prong connector. However the aftermarket light has a slightly different connector. Specifically it has a 4 prong connector. Any thoughts?

Are you talking about the Depo angel eyes?
The fourth prong is for the "parking light" -- something found on European models.
You can read some of the details on the wiring up in this thread: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5693040-Ordered-some-Depos-for-the-EV (http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5693040-Ordered-some-Depos-for-the-EV)

That was exactly the help I needed. I think I've found a slightly better way. I bought one of these.

I'll snip off the blue connector and wire in an H4 adapter, and then run the halos into the parking lights.

Interesting - but isn't this just as much work to tap into the plug (and save yourself $29.99 as well)?
Also, if you want to replace the halo lights with LEDS -- the bulb size is T5 286 wedge.

I suppose, but it's reversible and at worst I'm our $29 if i screw it up. ;D

pics of the lights on the van?

Am I wrong in thinking that the picture is for a 96-03 EV? I looked at the site and they do have some for a 93 as well, but the styles/shapes are different.
