This high quality US made kit simplifies the signal path from battery to headlights, increasing the current that reaches your headlights and also improving reliability. Installation is relatively simple, and fully illustrated instructions are included. 

While this kit alone will make a noticeable difference on most Vanagons, for even more improvement choose our VisionKit Headlight Upgrade Kit, linked below.  It includes this relay kit plus top-of-the-line E-code headlights and super-bright bulbs, and will completely transform the headlight performance of your Vanagon. Despite its low cost, it is literally the best lighting you can put on your Vanagon at any price.

Note: Not recommend for Canadian spec Vanagons factory equipped w/ daytime running lights.
