Will this High Beam Assembly fit my Vanagon with the South African grille conversion?

Yes! This High Beam Assembly is specifically designed for the DRIVER SIDE of Vanagons that have been upgraded with the South African grille. If you have the South African grille kit installed, this is the direct replacement part you need for the driver’s side high beam position.

Does this driver-side high beam assembly include the bulb, or do I need to purchase that separately?

This assembly typically comes with the lens and housing only. Bulbs are not included, so you’ll need to purchase the appropriate H3 bulb separately. This gives you flexibility if you want to use standard halogen bulbs or upgrade to LED.

Is this high beam assembly compatible with LED bulbs, or do I have to use halogens?

You can use LED bulbs with this high beam assembly, as long as the LED is designed to fit an H3 socket. Many Vanagon owners with South African grilles choose LED upgrades for better visibility, and this light unit can accommodate them—just be sure your LED bulbs are the correct size and fit.

What’s the difference between the driver and passenger side high beam assemblies for the South African grille?

The driver and passenger side high beam assemblies are mirror-image parts—each only fits its designated side on the South African grille. This product is for the DRIVER SIDE only, so if you need both, be sure to order each side separately to ensure perfect fitment.

Do I need to buy the complete set of lights, or can I just replace the driver’s side high beam assembly?

You can absolutely replace just the driver’s side high beam assembly with this product. There's no need to buy the complete set if your other lamps are in good shape—this assembly installs independently, letting you swap out only the part that's damaged or worn.

You Guys were awesome!
Searching for hella high beam light for South African conversion.
Even though you had the wrong side I needed you told me they could be interchangeable.
Will definitely look to you again in the future

Great addition to my South African grill I brought back from South Africa. With Led lights installed they’re light lazar beams . Extremely happy with the fit and how they work .

Perfect replacement for the one I replaced.

Purchased to replace existing light on van that had glass lens fall off while driving. Only needed new light, but unfortunately had to buy entire assembly as GoWesty doesn't sell just the headlight. That said, it fits well and the missing headlight is now fixed.
