I have some LEDs for the side lights on their way.

Trying to think here... does the sidelight bulb run when the lights are are on dipped beam?

yeah side light bulbs are on perminantly

Great job. personally I think the later c70 crystal headlights are so much better, thats what I'm saving for since they go the second the few available go up for sale. But that's my opinion that doesn't detract from the time and effort you have put in, well done

If anyone would like to see the results and wish to buy some material of myself please pm me.
I cannot give any guarantee of how long this will last but the material should last as long as the original chrome plating as it is basicly the same material.

Hi,

I am interested in this. I just ordered a set of Phillips 100% for the low beams (which to me are the most important - and the high beams seems to do a pretty good job on my C70.

Drop me a line, please

Thanks,

Christer

Would this be the newer crystal style headlights?

The picture shows lights from a later P2 car e.g. an S60.

Also you can get brand new lights from a volvo dealer for about that price lol.

Last time I checked:

Pair of headlights circa £350.

Pair of indicators circa £100.

I like the ones from the link, but they are pricey. No idea if they would suit the s70 tho. Does anyone have any pics of them fitted to an s70 please

The ones in the link WILL NOT FIT an S70 - if they are as the picture. Even if they are the correct ones (I haven't checked the part number given on the listing) you might as well buy them from your local volvo dealer.

If you do a google image search for volvo S70 R then there are loads with the C70 crystal lights. It's too cold for me to go out and take pics + the car is filthy atm.
