    Red face 1999 v/s70 headlights needed?

    the headlights on my v70 are poor, even with up rated bulbs in, I believe the reflective stuff (professional term) has burnt off, so I think I could try replacement headlights, or would love to know where to get up graded sets from cheers

    I had this headlight issue with my c70 I bought in Feb
    First time driving In the dark was 3am returning from fishing and I had to drive at 30mph with main beam on and still couldn't see

    Fixed this the next day by removing light lenses and sticking strips of mirror chrome vinyl to the rear of reflectors

    It has worked a treat and I have now seen the light lol

    Chrome vinyl readily available on eBay and is a cheap temp fix

    Hope this helps

    Doesn't it get burnt up by the heat of the bulbs? If not its a great fix

    Hi, I purchased two new lenses off ebay for €39.00 a pair and they have greatly improved the lights.
