Volvo have some of the worst projectors of any car make even the xenon ones, that's why I changed mine.

Changed them to Lexus LS bi-projectors.

I replaced the projectors for a set of projectors from a Lexus LS with modified shields and use 5five 5k bulbs with boosted Denso ballasts.

Where did you source them? Was it easy to fit.

Very keen on doing something similar, especially if I do end up going down the HID conversion route!

+1 Keen to look at this too as the major downfall with these lights HID or non HID is the Projectors

Getting the parts was easy enough as most of it was ordered from the states. Fitting it all was easy too but I knew what I was doing. The total cost was just over £1200

I was expecting something like £120!

Do you think it is possible to source some headlights from a Lexus at a breakers yard and just dismantle and fit.

I unscrewed the projector part out last night and gave them a clean, they were pretty clean anyway. I'm assuming it is a case of changing the lens?
