headlight options

[polak t5r]

hi all i'm looking at options for upgrading my headlights which ones are a straight bolt in fit with no messing about cheers

[volvokid]

On a 70 series? I have the later C70 clear ones on mine.

[jez.w]

Im thinking of the same thing for my C70 but only if they are brighter and last a long time. I will watch this thread with interest.

[polak t5r]

oh sorry yes it's a s70 1998

[V70 Graham]

These are bolt on with no messing as well.....

PFV do some rather splendid projectors in black or chrome...

[M-R-P]

Beat me to it Graham!

[V70 Graham]

I'll have to hunt out those silver bulbs Steve gave me, Anne put them 'somewhere safe' !

[Wobbly Dave]

I've had both & the beam pattern was better on the clear Volvo lights.

No doubting you Dave, but the difference between the originals and the projectors (with HID) is night and day.....

i do like them volvokid what year c70 are they off and are they a straight fit

[volvokid]

I cant remember when they started making them, I just ordered them from volvo, yip the just fit straight in

[V70 Graham]

iirc they are a bit pricey though, can you (do you want to) remember Martyn

[polak t5r]

i had a feeling they would be the minute he mentioned volvo lol there probably worth more then my car

the clears are from c70 2003-2005 only. and yes, mega ££££££ for a new set.

secondhand ones i have seen go for alot on the bay as well.

Parts for volvo's do some clear plastic lenses that replace the glass on the standard units.... Sure they're £30 a side.
Surely these can't be a million miles from the late c70 model lights when assembled?
The matching indicators on Volvokids are £90.
That's what I was planning on doing then eventually getting projectors when I'm flush.

[Tomcat]

I need to replace mine as well and after hearing that I'll probably just go for the projectors.. (besides....they look good in black).

[V70 Graham]

.....secondhand ones i have seen go for alot on the bay as well.

.....if you can find a set !

i dont think you can do it that way biff, as the patterned lens is part of the headlight beam .

the replacement lens for the projectors are glass.
