Yes they fit no problem, do a search on the forum for headlights and you'll come up with a wealth of knowledge. See in showroom doodlebugs awesome conversion.

Yep you asked do the headlights fit you didn't mention indicators aswell

I just bought these for £50 with free postage (ignore the auction prices):
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=170495954123

I also bought a pair of T4 twins last week for £50.

I just can't stop buying headlights!

Nah the reason is, the T4 lights don't have matching clear glass. Parts for volvos are charging £35 for 1 glass with postage. So it was a no brainer to buy these european headlights with beautiful glass. I desperately needed european lights because I drive all over Europe a few times a year. As I will only be using 1 pair of headlights at a time i can just swap the glass over really easy.. so when i'm in UK I 'll have T4 lights in, when I'm driving abroad i'll throw LHD lights in Everyone's a winner
