Turning off headlights

[Nose]

Hi guys, firstly I hope this is the right place to put this? if it's not, sorry mods I'm a newbie to the forum and have recently purchased myself a lovely S60 D5 auto. As probably the same as most off you guys my headlights are not the best due to the headlights being on all the time - which drives me mad - or rather, it did. When I got the car I did a lot of searching around to see if they could be turned off. I found some people who said no it's dealer only option and some who reckon it could be done by the right person. Well this is just a little post to say mine have been done 'by the right person' lol, so if anyone in the Birmingham (or surrounding area) wants theirs turning off I can tell you of a local chap to me who can do it for you. I can now go and fit my new headlights.

This is a bugbear of mine.

Can anybody assist in turning a 2001 XC70 lights off please? Near to Southampton.

Are the lenses that far gone? Or do you mean you're going to change the bulbs?

Hi CaptainSlow337
I can switch your headlights off, I am in Emsworth,
Thanks Dave

Do you have to declare this as a mod for insurance purposes?

Hi Jon, no mate, not bulbs, i've bought myself a brand new pair of VALEO headlights (the boxes they came in are huge lol) To be honest they're the only thing on the car that let it down. I got them through a mate in the trade.

Great news, thank you. I'll give you a should if I'm heading down that way. I'm the other side of Southampton.

Since it's a dealer option I presume it's not a problem.

Of course if you crash during twilight due to not suitably illuminating your car then it's your own fault :P

Hey CaptainSlow3h37, Is it possible to send me the procedure for disabling the daytime headlights. In less you are planning a trip to California in the near future.
Thanks for your help
