The V70 estate lights fit, and look better because they don't have the orange square, they have clear instead.

Fit them complete with the V70 bulb holders, they are different to the 850 bulb holder.

cheers for that upto what year will fit as some ive seen on ebay are quite flared at the bottom .... as for the bulb holders, does that mean a bit of cutting and splicing is involved ?

Upto 99 I think (any of the phase 1 V70's), the phase 2's have the flared bottom and even the tops are a different profile(sadly).

You need the ph1 V70 rears, the back end looks the same as the 850.

No cutting etc required the bulbs holders off the 850's are a different shape to the V70, but the wiring plug is the same

i fitted original 850 rear lights to keep it looking standard after one was damaged but the V70 ones look OK too - personal choice i suppose
