Hid kit lights flashing help a fellow volvo lover

[RT MECHANICS]

Hi just trying to help an 850 owner his car is a 1994-5 MY and the trick with bending the pin on the light relay to stop them flashing when switched off does not work as has the early design of relay.

Has anyone got a link for him as its driving him mad !!!

i think the person involved is PMing me directly, but i thought i'd post this up anyway

1994 Volvo 850
1. Take off the fusebox cover (4-no. T25 screws). It is located under the
bonnet right by the RH side of the windscreen.
2. Pull out the headlamp relay. It's the largest one, coloured green, that fits
into a double socket.
3. Prise off the relay cover. This can be awkward since it is a snap- fit with
four tongues of plastic that must all be disengaged simultaneously.
4. Find the pin marked '56b'. It's a 1/4" tab, and is connected via two loops
of thick wire to other pins marked '56bL' and '56bR'. (These other pins
lead to the headlamp dipped filaments, and the loops of wire are part of
the 'lamp fail' warning system - don't damage them in what you are
about to do.)
5. Carefully lever up the connection to pin 56b and cut it.
6. Push the severed connection back towards the base of the relay and
move it to one side so the connection to pin 56b remains broken. It
could then be reinstated at a later date if required.
7. Refit the relay cover, plug in the relay (it will only go in one way round),
and refit the fusebox cover.
