XC90 bending headlights

[bod]

Just about to order my next XC90 , a Momentum and can’t seem to spec the bending headlights , am I missing something?
Basically car will be B5, 360 camera, winter pack,bliss,tinted rear glass, cd player, Upgraded stereo (seems only way to get apple car play ! robbers) front and rear mudflaps.Storm grey with slate leather.

They're standard on the Pro version of each trim, you can't add them separately. So you need to go for Momentum Pro.

Apple CarPlay/Android Auto is available across all models as a stand alone option for £300 according to the MY20 Edition 2a pricelist.

Don't spec mudflaps they are a rip off, order some off ebay for £30 or less for a set of 4 and they are identical and only take minutes each corner to fit. As already stated you can spec carplay without upgrading stereo.

I have bending headlights as standard on my inscription and I can understand your desire to get them on your new car as I wanted them on mine but now if I did not have them I would not miss them, they move a little but I can't see any benefit at all in them bending.
Standard LED headlights will be just as good, the adaptive high/low and shadow tech I have is good but again I would be happy with standard LED lights.

I will look for that, I’ve been using the online car configuration on the Volvo website. So that will save £500 , the std set up is fine in my opinion.

I have the lights on my current MY17 , and is one of the best features , the shadow tech is brilliant. I can’t see the extra £3k plus for the pro being worth it as seems to be the leather that’s the main difference , along with headlamps.
I will scrub the mud flaps , so this post has saved me around £700 :teeth_smile

Thank you!

I love the active lights on mine. I have the R Design Pro version, so it's the all singing, all dancing bending and auto dimming LEDS and they are great.

I had bending lights on my last Touareg, and they appeared to move horizontally a bit more than the XC90, but the XC90 LEDs are just better.

The auto dim is excellent - presumably that's the "shadow tech" mentioned above, where it just cuts part of the high beam? I've tested this quite a lot and it's fast and accurate. Works well and doesn't blind other motorists.

Dealers will usually throw the mudflaps in for free if pushing for a deal. Lots of affinity deals also throw metallic paint in free as well.
