Post Face lift for V90 on the way...

Looks like really minor external changes although possible the rear boot lights have been removed.

I liked the rear lights better the way they were if thats the case. Looks like a cost saving exercise to me.

The tailgate lights, or lack of them stand out, but I might be wrong but the headlights look a bit different to me.. could be wrong.

One of the biggest complaints, me included, on the current version is the abysmal reversing lights, they really are poor on a prestige car.

I suspect (hope) that they have been enlarged on facelift, hence the taped-out tailgate light clusters?

Reverse lights are only meant to warn other drivers that you are reversing , there are a lot of cars now with tiny reversing lights ..

I find the rear camera on my V60 seems to do a decent job of enhancing the image in the dark so I usually rely on that. Interesting to hear whether others feel the same?

I disagree with that comment. I find the light from them helpful when I am reversing into and up my drive way. I don't have a reversing camera or any other proximity warnings.

The thing I do find a bit pointless is the front fog lights coming on when I reverse,
