I know headlights have been talked to death, but I thought I would post up what I did to my faded headlights on my S70 T5. I sprayed them satin black and fitted chrome vinyl to the reflectors, made a huge difference was out tonight and I can see in the dark! I think the satin black gives them a more modern look.

Now I like that, after removing the fly eyes on my v70 I think it did look better with dark headlights but I don't think the projectors would suit it.
Definitely a nod to think about. Yours looks superb! ;)

I'm wondering how I could do the indicators to match, mine looked awesome with the fly eyes but I was blind at night. Just bought some vinyl chrome. Lol

I am going to put new indicators on, so I'll pull the old ones apart to see if it can be done. Cheers lads!

Will the vinyl be able to stand the heat from the lamp?

Time will tell, but had the car out this evening, spent nearly two hours driving from motorway to stuck in traffic and the run home on country roads using high beam. Had a good look at them when I got home and they were perfect.

I've done this to various cars. 5 monde's 3 civics and my 306 gti 6. Just not got round to doing the v70.
I think all cars look great with them.

I did my indicators but have since replaced them.
The clear part of of the lense does come off. And it sounds like it's snapping but it will be fine. It's just the glue.
I just used silicone to stick them back together.
