looking good. do you mind me asking how much they were?

Around £60 each :-) no additional wiring, you use the fog lamp connector and the fog lamp button.

Are these the new led drl ? Anyway to have them on as per MY13 cars ...eg no need to have side lights / fog on ?

Yes, it's the original 2013 DRLs. I assume they come on automatically in the newer models, but from what I've heard Volvo doesn't offer the software to do so for the older models. You have to turn them on manually with the fog lamp button. Yes, you can probably make a wiring harness with some relays and crap, but I'm not an electrician :-) I usually use them together with the parking lights. Saves the xenon igniter + bulb a lot, I would imagine.

They look very good

So as StuT4 said i could go to a dealer, pay £60.00 and walk out with 2x MY2013 DRL's that plug straight into my fog lamps ??

Im assuming they could also be wired into the existing DRL lights that are currently in the headlamp ??

£60-ish each :-) but, yes. I don't know about the wiring to get them on automatically...Volvo weren't very helpful.

hello andreasb how did you get your projector headlights working.

andreasb · Jun 30th, 2012, 11:48

I just plugged them in

the bending doesn't work, of course. And I got a high beam bulb error message, even though it all works. Looks a lot better than the old lamps though...and they give better light, especially the high beams.

ottipoiss · Jun 30th, 2012, 13:25

well if i put them on mine then the dipped beam goes on and off again but all other lights working ok like high beam parking and indicators.
oh yeah definitely looks better. thats the trouble i got the lights but can't get them working. and gonna get the oem drl/fog lights aswell
