A few years back, on my previous V70, I stripped my headlights out and painted the inners with chrome paint. As you can see they were in terrible shape and as headlamps they were useless/dangerous but before committing to spending £2-300 I thought it worth risking £15 on materials and half a day in the garage.... being honest though, I would probably buy a better quality chrome paint if ever doing it again and allow more time and an extra coat, but in reality they really improved the light throw and seemed to resist the heat of the bulbs for the remaining few months of ownership...

Hi ITSv40, yes but LHD and RHD are identical save for different angled lenses. When I first brought the volvo over here I just put LHD lenses on and away we went. Lenses as I recall are very cheap. There is an AutoDoc in the uk.
