well it porbably has a small aftermarket, but I'm sure you can put HID's in it, that would be the biggest help, projectors is a bit much unless your really trying to fix it up. if you just want it a little brighter try getting some silverstars. I think it uses 9004, thats nothing special.
the easyest way to check if a car has an aftermarket supply is ebay it, if you get something more then generic parts you can go from there. --------------------  |

well wherever you can find em really, you can e-mail this guy (ajabraham@gmail.com) and ask him for a set. thats the same guy who supplied the HID group buy, where I got mine. there about 250 bucks a set though.

These vans are awesome.. we havent done much to keep them running fine..just the usual oil change and tune up
I think the biggest thing we changed on em were the front struts at 280K miles, and the fans in the middle.. the fan broke cause someone stuck a screwdriver in there and broke the fins lol I wish mine was SC |
