I believe they are a direct swap mate. Cherry has a set fitted into his 850 so have a word with him mate.

On the V70 the unit is on the clocks and you won't need it.
Thats assuming it's on there when you get them. :)

There's a pic of them fitted in my project thread.
I took off the receiver and just bent down the bits of bracket in case they had to come out again. The speedo you have now is electronic so it's a plug and play swap. :)
All the info display, Odometer etc. all work 100%.
You may not "Have" to remove the receiver, I just did.

Nope, Was just the ABS ECU causing the lights. I made a note of the mileage for my records though.
