Good evening folks.

I have a small crack at the top of the headlamp lense on my 08MY C70. Over the months I have had fogging issues but now it's so bad that it is completely fogged and even has water droplets. I have removed the unit, blow dried it(!) and put repair tape on but to no avail.

I've searched scrap yards and interntet but bi xenon units are rarer than hen's teeth.

Other than parting with 500+ notes for a new one, any ideas?
The irony is I can get one from a P3 for the price of a P2 halogen! 😔

Thanks htomi. I think I'm going to have to go to the dealer. My local Volvo garage (non-dealer) is going to try to see if they can get a discount for me.
