Good Morning,

Does anyone have a drivers side headlight glass for a V70 T5 1998?

The car failed the MOT with both headlights with Pattern issues and the drives side with a cracked headlight

Regards
Mark

Hi Mark,

I hate to be the harbinger of doom; but it sounds like you have more than a cracked glass problem (though the glass can be available from various sources).

Pattern issues are usually signs of the reflectors (rather than glass problems) being a bit past it and, unfortunately, is a common fault on the V70 Ph1. There are many threads - including yours - about that topic throughout the forum!

One of the very best options is to try looking for a pair of 'crystal' headlights (complete) as they sometimes come up from 'breakers' who often post here. Not a cheap solution; but, unfortunately original V70 headlights wore out long before the rest of the car.
