what a ££££ up this has all been but bear with me

[RT MECHANICS]

last one !

[T5SLAVE]

Nice work Russ. Look forward to seeing the dark lamps, will these be the only 2 variants we'll b able to choose from? How much, n when available etc mate:B_thumb:

[T5SLAVE]

Oh and all the info available on the HiD conversion would be much appreciated too, think HiD in those lights will look the nutz:wink: :B_steerin ...

[Murphy]

That looks great - that number plate hasn't always been on that is it ?

[RT MECHANICS]

Hi muphy yes my plate has been on it over a year now

Russ

[Murphy]

I am sure i used to see a Red 850R with it ?!?! Maybe similar lettering.

Either way, lights look lovely !

[T5SLAVE]

Hi muphy yes my plate has been on it over a year now

Russ

Hi i must be going mad i did have that plate on my red 850 R i had before the yellow car

[Murphy]

LMAO - It was YOU i spotted over 1 year ago, and you didn't know ha ha !!!

[RT MECHANICS]

Russ

[Redbrick]

Lets drag this back on track shall we :troutslap lol

Russ... Whats the beam pattern like? I have a crisp horizontal cut off with my HID's and original spec lights. Would I be right in saying the pattern is more of a blob with these lights?

Can LED side light bulbs be fitted in the repeaters?

Why are your repeaters orange- other photos I've seen they are clear: http://www.europeantuning.com/styling.htm
Is it just a trick of the light?

Give us a clue on cost, please :mischievo

Many thanks

Andy

[RT MECHANICS]

Hi andy the indicator bulbs are orange its the reflection of them you can see the backgrounds are crystal i am sure i have seen some led side indicators somewhere as to costs i still have no idea yet.

Russ

[nobananas]

If your concerned about seeing the orange bulbs through the lenses you can get 'chromed bulbs now that look the nuts ! About a tenner the pair .

[RT MECHANICS]

Hi where do you get these bulbs then i have not seen them ?!
Russ

[pault5]

do a search for 'chrome bulbs' on ebay.

[BlackBeast]

And if you dont like the led lights in the headlamp you can adapt the plate to take them out.

P.S im so surprised you havent been told to change those numberplates back to a readable format.

[M44K TS]

Anyone know if they do them for a C70? :lol:

[Tricko]

.....when these become available.

[stephenevans99]

me too !!

[T5SLAVE]

Great 2 c there is good interest for the trick headlight units, I reckon they look the nutz, can't wait 2 get 'em on my beast.

In fact I'm sooooo sad and sooooo bad with PC Paint that I've even gone 2 the trouble of havin a play with a front shot of my car 2 c if the darkies would suit. Got bored tho n didn't finish the right side (or left 4 that matter?) properly...

Looks nice n evil, me thinks a subtle hang over using the front edge of the bonnet (ala bad-boy) would possibly make it look even more evil???

Dude, I take it u think mine (and others who have also relocated the horns) looks better with out the "I'm a snortin pig" horns on show thru my new de-badge grille, LOL!

Has 2 b said tho, it does look a lil' weird seein 'em that clearly IMhumbleO?

Now 4 the NEWS FLASH bit...

When I went lookin for the other "Crystal lamps" thread I also PM'd Carson knowing that he had the actual headlamps fitted that I was after.....well Carson has just returned my PM with some concerning news, and I quote...

"As for getting the Jewel'd headlights, I am not sure if they come in a RHD pattern, but in all honestly, I would recommend against getting them. They may look nice, but the quality in the production behind them is not worth the money they cost."

...b@gger it! Does this mean we have a real problem RT? Do u know if these r the same units u will b dealin with, and/or is this the reason (or part of) why u guys r strugglin to get them ready to sell to us UK chaps n chapesses!?!

I see also that Carson states in another thread he recently posted updating us on his car's latest mods that the jewl headlamps r indeed currently off, hhmmmmmmm, not nice food 4 thought!!!

Will The Dark Lights Fit A Volvo V70 R 1997

Will The Dark Lights Fit A Volvo V70 R 1997

Hi Abdul.

The dark ones will not fit your P1 V70... The chrystal once will not fit your car either, beccause these headlights are made to fit the 850...

But there are aftermarket once for the P1 V70. I don´t know if you have a dealer for them over in England, but we have a couple of dealers who have these in stock.
Here is a pic of the new once for the P1 V70.
http://negerboll.com/images/05bilsportm081.jpg

They are also available in the chrystal/clear version.

Best regards // Peter Larsson

[BlackBeast]

Those look quite good on the P1, those headlight wipers look completely out of place though lol

[S60T5]

Couldn´t agree more...
If you buy any sort of clear-lense headlights you must remove the wipers.
Otherwise you are asking for a scratched lens. That will not look good, be cheap nore give you a good (light-frame)

Best regards // Peter Larsson

[BlackBeast]

Peter, what companies sell them in Sweden? And how much Kr are we talking about for headlights and indicators?

[After_Shock]

Your looking at £400+ postage and taxes plus they are only LHD and not available RHD.

[BlackBeast]

Im sorted for postage and taxes as they can go in my hand luggage :) Cant really see why they cant be changed to rhd, surely its just a case of re-aiming the beam, the lenses are clear anyway.

Hi again.

As previous stated. Almost £400.
When I callculated It was £375.
Of course you are able to re-aim the beam, as you are able to do with any kind of lights. That´s exactly what we do with the Skylines and all EVO 1,2,3,4 and 5 that are imported from England and Japan.
Just a matter of having the right equiptment to check the result after re-aiming the lights.

Is That For All The 4 Pieces

[RT MECHANICS]

Hi all i have not had any quality issues with these lights,i would say they are no worse than standard volvo lamps. we are still in the process of sorting this all out we can also get hold of the evolve lights but one at a time !.



Russ

[T5SLAVE]

Hi Russ,

I will have 2 trust ur judgement on the quality:Handshake Bear it in mind tho that all I have 2 go on tho is what Carson has told me so understandably I'm gonna b concearned that they r worth the money:confused:

Out of interest m8, u say u can get hold of Evolve lights? By that, do u mean P1 V70 lights ONLY, or r there indeed 'Evolve' versions available 4 850's?
Reason I ask is cause I have seen that very Silver V70 (as featured in this thread) b4 in Max Power, n love those lights but didn't think such a unit was available for the 850, is this the case? They look even meaner:mischievo than the lights u have shown us 4 the 850's so if there is a version available for the 850 I'd like 2c 'em n would probably go for those instead:)

Thanx m8:B_thumb:

[RT MECHANICS]

Hi the best thing would be once this is all sorted out i would make the trip up to us to see the lights in the flesh ? then you can decide for yourself.
We can get the same lights that evolve has but they are for P1 V70/C70/S70 only sorry.

Ok m8, that's the best idea. I'd like 2c the units b4 buyin 'em anyway, plus I get 2 say 'ello 2 u lot @ RT:biggrin:

Will watch this space 4 updates.

Clear ur PM's Russ.....

[T5SLAVE]

In all seriousness peeps I have decided 2 bite the bullet n go it alone gettin these ere crystal/jewel lamps from the States...or Sweden:confused:

I would like 2 ask if anyone can advise me where best 2 get 'em, as I have searched the wibblywideweb and have noticed a few different places sellin them...any thoughts would b very much appreciated:)

Also, I have noticed these at PFV recently...

http://www.partsforvolvosonline.com/product_info.php?cPath=515_680&products_id=4507

Does this mean "jewel" headlamps could b just round the corner from our UK chums at PFV? Anyone bought fitted these side units yet?

Ta 4 any info, think I'll call PFV reet now actually:anmflower

Mark.

[RPM]

I want some too!!!!!

[T5SLAVE]

I want some too!!!!!
Lovely stuff m8! The 2 of us certainly aint no Group-buy LOL! However we could buy them as 1 n try n save some import costs...where's the main man Judge when ya need him???

Have u any idea where might be best 2 get 'em as I had stopped lookin due to the lack of interest...

[Tomcat]

I'd like some too please, depending on price/ compatability etc...

[t5tart]

My huntin found these lil beauties but I must admit I didn't look too hard cos I lost interest, now there's a surprise?!?!?

[Tomcat]

Can we not arrange a group buy on these as well?

[T5SLAVE]

Can we not arrange a group buy on these as well?

I'd certainly like 2 think so but I'm always worried re the quality issues with these units?

I wouldn't wanna drag everyone else in2 a buy if it turned out we were all gonna get ripped off wi' rubbish stuff, I'm prepared 2 take the risk (crazy mad fool!) but how does everyone else feel, d'yall know Carson has removed his due 2 quality issues?! I must admit I'm strugglin 2 properly research these lil' beauties:smirk:

[andyb]

Any progress on these??

Andrew

[Tomcat]

just out of interest, what is the quality problem on these?, is it the clear fronts?, the rears?, what?.

[abdul]

any results on these
