Low beams are not working and high beams are. If both low beams out, probably not burnt out bulbs and probably is fuse or a switch problem. Could be the bulbs but doubtful.

How do you replace the headlight on a VW eurovan?
That depends on the year. 1982 to 1986 used sealed beam headlights, 1987 to 1990 use composite headlights with halogen bulbs. If you have the earlier style: Remove the screws that hold the headlight door in place, then the four screws that hold the sealed beam in. Unplug the connector and reverse procedure to finish installation. Headlight may need to be re-aimed. If you have the later style: Reach behind the headlight and twist the bulb. It should then come out. Unplug the connector. Reverse the procedure to complete the installation.
