The eBay sale has now finished. At least 7 'watchers' but only 1 bid so it made the minimum £30 which was in fact enough to cover my costs in buying the wrongly described item.

Winner has apparently paid by 'PayPal echeque' so I don't get his cash (or he my headlight) for another week or so yet but I'm not anticipating any problem (else it will be re-offered here).

Thanks to all who posted about it.

Haven't been on here for a little while and just read this thread with a little interest as I have just had to have my lamps replaced.

Just wondered what the outcome was with this, if the buyer was happy with the headlight because it looks to me from the pic that you posted that the lamp is not from a s40/v50 at all, but from a c30.

The PayPal e-cheque cleared OK and I've had no complaints from the buyer who I suspect is some sort of eBay trader in car parts & promptly re-offered it at an inflated 'buy it now' price.

I'm really not sure exactly what the unit is meant to fit. I was under impression that it was for any of S40 , V50 or C30 providing a pre 2007 model.

I think the seller may have been correct as far as it being an 09 unit, but I am sure its a c30 unit. I did wonder when you mentioned it would only fit with a little help with an angle grinder, as a few people on here have managed to update pre facelift models with post facelift parts.

It would have been helpful if you'd posted that message at the time. Who knows - I might have got more for it if I'd been able to supply a correct description.

Sorry, as mentioned I only saw this thread today, and thought I would share my thoughts just in case you had any problems with the sale.

Not to worry; it's gone. I made a small profit and chap who bought it seems to have made even more
