I got mine from Ebay And they cost more but found the same ones cheaper after mine came

I think once painted they will defo be a unique look on the v70 I did try making these two years ago and failed

well iwas going to splice the left hand indicator into 24/2e-15 and24/2e-14 for the right this is the white 19pin plug on the firewall above the drivers pedals which might be a bit easier then my first thoughts after looking at the wiring diagrams

[JamesT5]

Nice shoes. :D

[jdavis]

I quite like them.

[Thanatos]

yeah my shoes end up in most pics being size 13

the mirrors really spruce the front end of the car up

[JUDGENINJA]

Nice modern take..

[abdul]

Have u got a ebay link to them

[Thanatos]

Not now Abdul as it expired last night but they came from Germany in any case and were £30 dearer

[abdul]

They are out of stock will order when available

[abdul]

[abdul]

They definitely give the car a modern look

[V70 Graham]

[Thanatos]

this is the gap when trying to fit the drivers mirror

[abdul]

Disappointed that they dont fit

[Thanatos]

i was gutted i now looking for a lhd breaker to see if i can get them to fit

[V70 Graham]

Shame, looked a nice little mod.

[partsforvolvos.com]

sorry to see that you have found the answer to the question I was just about to ask ......
they only fit LHD.

I have some of these in stock if anybody is interested and found the same thing. the angle of the mirror body is different.
I asked the supplier if it might have been a moulding fault , but this was the reason I traced it to.

you could modify the existing housing, and put in the led repeaters if you cut it very carefully?

[Thanatos]

modding the RHD ones to fit is going to be a last resort as these are slightly moulded where the led's are and the screw holds the leds in to the housing isn't available on the Normal Housings either

getting hold of a set of LHd Mirrors To Pack a side of the Motor mount out to make the Mirror angle useable on a rhd car

[Thanatos]

just a quick update on this the left hand mirrors have arrived so after a quick paint

well i managed to fit the drivers side to the car now its painted
