2008 XC90 Headlight Projector Retrofit walkthrough
Hello Volvo community.
I just finished wrapping up a headlight build on my XC90 and thought I would share what all is involved. While the XC90 exceed's my expectations in many ways, the headlights were not one of them! I have dont many HID projector retrofits on other vehicles so I though I should try on the XC. Pros: 1,000 times better lighting in both brightness, distance and width! No Bulb Out Warning errors on the dash. Looks much better and remains factory looking. No ugly HID ballast or wires showing. Con's: It takes about $300 USD in parts and a full 1-2 days to complete. If you have any questions about anything just let me know. |

Thanks for taking the trouble - a useful guide.
UK readers take note - heat the oven to 220 Fahrenheit (not 220 centigrade....)
