Re: Lights and Tires

["Ewan Hopkins" <ewanhopkins@hotmail.com>]

I'm not sure if we are talking about the same vehicle, but I have seen 
in the UK many of the camper-van versions of the Transporter ( the one 
with the engine under the floor) with lights that look exactly the same 
as the early MKII sciroccos.  The inner small lights are not H4 pattern 
lenses but I think are fog lights: the lenses have quite a thick 
vertical rib across the full width, which gives a wider shorter beam 
than the later lights.  I had an '82 GL auto with these lights and they 
were wired as fogs.  My 85 Storm has inner lamps with a similar lens 
pattern to the main lights and which are wired as full-beam driving 
lights.

Cheers,

Ewan.
