Hi all, was looking at these lights before i decided i was selling the Volvo but for all the 850 owners out there these come in at a pretty good price...all in for the lights, indicators and egg box grill ( looks smart on the 850
( IMO !! ) ) including shipping it was 600 Euros, the lights are easily adjusted for RHD as teh glass is clear and reflectors are only needed to be moved...

around ~480 including side indicators, gril, main lights, vat and delivery.

It was much higher but VOC discount got about £80-90 off.

If there is enough people - say 10 we (not me now obviously) could probably go and see if you can also get a group discount.

Yes they are nice.

When I mailed them about them being for LHD 850's they said they were not suitable for RHD spec cars.

How would the reflectors be moved? Do you mean remounting them or adjusting their aim with the adjustment screws? Is their enough adjustment in the adjusters to convert them? I assume you would loose the horizontal beam pattern cut off. Maybe that would be a problem with those of us with HID's.If the beam pattern is wrong it would fail the MOT.

What do you think?

Grill is interesting as well!

Redbrick....I put those same Q's to the guy at european tuning and he is confident that because the glass is clear the reflectors have plenty scope to be moved to suit our RHD. NOt being an expert on beam patterns i started to wonder about the light that is emitted through clear class.....obviously just now the satndard glass has distinct patterns to disperse light but putting a bulb behind a clear glass is surely not dispersing anything so will shine straight out so by a simple movement of the reflector to shy the light away from oncoming traffic should be enough so could he be right...the grill is definately a worthwhile option!!

Nordic do the grill (in the UK) for 124.50 or if you have VOC membership then 105.83.

Hope this helps.

To be fair Andrew, all parts for the V/S70 seem to be dearer..the jewel lights for your car are 169 euros dearer than the 850 and the grill with chrome surround is 200 euros!!!
