Finally, I now have a full set of rear lights. Just the lower sections alone retail at £165 ea from Volvo and these are rare as Hens teeth on eBay.
I managed to get hold of the two upper sections for a steal at only £20 delivered! It would be months before I located, first the N/S lower which I bargained for £40 then about 5 months later I paid a higher price for the O/S lower which I won on eBay auction for £79 delivered (but that also included the R/H upper section which I can sell on).

I'll spare you the fitting process as it's quite straight forwards, though some of the 10mm nuts are difficult to access without removing the upper and side plastic roof trim.
I also, removed my Diadem indicator bulbs and fitted them first:
I'll take a photo of her in the dark once I've replaced my knackered number plate bulbs.
Points to note if doing this mod:
The lower sections cannot be removed until the upper sections have been removed!
Make sure you order 8 trim clips for the side panel as these will almost certainly break or already be broken when removing the trim panels that cover the rear lights:
REAR PILLAR TRIM CLIP - 2004 VOLVO V70 (part# 9132876) x8.
