<p>yup the SA grill is on the short list of upgrades to be done for next year! Thus the reason for having the relay upgrade done already! Even with the standard H4 halogens it is definitely brighter!</p>

<p>Love my SA kit and 100 watt halogen and the relay, thanks to Go Westy! But yes you should have the relay even with 55 watt.</p>

<p>I just installed a relay kit yesterday into my 1981 westy with standard H4 bulbs. Definitely brighter and no more risk of burning the headlight switch contacts. The relay install ishould be the first thing on every list regarding headlight upgrades!</p>

Hi John,<br />
The days of finding replacement square or more the rectangular lights is getting fewer available, as in, if you ever find a supplier, PLEASE let me know!<br />
If you have the choice to switch to roundies and go with 60/55w halogen you won't need the relay kit, but if you want to upgrade to 90/100w halogen you will need the relay kits.<br />
Depending on where you're located, I can recommend a few suppliers.<br />

<p>The S African grill was my first option I was going to go with. But I already have the early grill & single H4 lights. So for less then a total $100 investment I can upgrade. The S African would be an additional $400 . I drove many a Euro car with these similar lights and they worked fine. Especially being that the van can't go as fast. I really enjoyed meeting you and all at Trainspotting last year. I hope to find the time to do more with you all.</p>

<p>Welcome John!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Splurge on a South African Grille with inner and outer driving lights. One of the best upgrades out there, especially if you drive at night a lot. All the online vendors sell it, Bus Depot, Van Cafe and GoWesty, to name a few.</p>
<p></p>
<p>You can use the grille and Bosch H4 lights you already have but there's nothing like quad lights to light up the night! And it looks good.</p>
