V60 fog light cover

benr7310 · Apr 3rd, 2017, 11:30

Hi all

I'm aware that Volvo didn't fit fog lights to the v60 because there was limited clearance behind the covers.

Has anyone taken them off to see how much clearance there actually is?

Thanks

There's plenty of room if you ask me ;-)

Thanks for the pic!

I'm looking at throwing some fog lights in as the reflector headlights are pretty poor in the fog compared to my old S40!

The ones I've seen are about 37mm deep (excluding front face). Do you think they'd fit?

What are the silver/grey cylindrical objects on the back of the plastic panels? Just curious!

Ah, of course. Thanks. Next question - do those panels unclip from the bumper without having to remove the bumper first? I've discovered a leak from below my offside headlamp washer area this morning and that might just give access. I hope.

In fact, I've found the answer from your bumper removal thread, 2 years ago to the day. Thanks!

Good shout. Hope it fixes easily.

I'd say there's plenty of room for 37mm fog lights down there.
