Will this Turn Signal Bulb Socket & Terminal Kit fit my 1985 Vanagon?

Yes, this kit is designed to fit all 1980-1991 Vanagon models, including your 1985 Vanagon. It replaces the front turn signal bulb sockets and terminals specifically for these vehicles.

Is it difficult to install this bulb socket and terminal kit myself?

Not at all! Customers consistently praise how easy it is to install this kit. Plus, it comes with PDF instructions to guide you through the process step-by-step, making it manageable even if you're not a pro.

Does this kit include everything I need for installation?

The kit includes 2 front turn signal bulb sockets, 6 female terminals (14-16 gauge), and all necessary hardware for both sides. However, please note it does not include dielectric grease, which we recommend using to prevent future corrosion.

Will replacing my bulb sockets with this kit improve my turn signal’s reliability?

Absolutely. This kit replaces corroded or damaged sockets and terminals, which are common problems due to moisture corrosion in older Vanagons. Installing fresh parts restores proper electrical connection and helps your turn signals function reliably again.

Can I use LED bulbs with this kit for better efficiency?

Yes, upgrading to LED bulbs is a great idea! While this kit replaces the sockets and terminals, pairing it with LED bulbs can improve energy efficiency and brightness. Just ensure the LED bulbs are compatible with your Vanagon’s lighting system.

Nice kit, cool to have the much needed connectors with them.

Worth It!

High quality part. Fits and does as it should.

Perfect fit, easy to install

Took about ten minutes to swap in the new socket. I reused the old terminals with a bit of bulb grease to help things along and the bulb worked on all settings. And I still have a socket for the other side when the time comes.
