1998 Volvo V70 T5
1998 Volvo V70 T5 Manual SEI feel like im taking over this section but just wanted to post my comments on HIDs. Mine arrived from China today having bought them off ebay ten days ago and all i can say is WOW!. They are absolutely superb! Its like they are ten times brighter than the standard bulbs.
My advice with winter coming is get some. It'll be the best £33 you'll spend on your car in a long time!

Thanked 1,393 Times in 1,068 PostsI used these guys:
http://www.hids4u.co.uk/
If you type in TOYOTA PRO where it says 'coupon' in the checkout section of the order, then you get a 25% discount.
They cost me £73 delivered. I was happy to pay more because if i had a problem then the company is in the UK and i can talk to some one about it.
£33 is a very good price.
These are the units i got: http://www.hids4u.co.uk/h7-hids4u-pr...-p-1-pr-3.html
Here is what they look like:
2014 V60 Polestar 6spd Auto :: Polestar map peak boost 17.4psi :: IPD 3" DP + 150cel :: Polestar 2.5" exhaust :: Paddle Shift Geartronic :: Black glass :: Maxton Splitter :: K+N Filter :: IPD Aluminium Top engine mount :: Brembo 6 pots :: 20" Polestar rims :: Brembo 371mm floating discs :: Sensus RTi + DAB + BT + WIFi :: D3S XENARC 6000k Active bending headlights
