[URGENT] V70 P1 - Headlights
Need a new pair of headlight units for a Phase 1 V70 (1999) (MOT Fail otherwise, have about a week to source and repair!)
Garage want to sting me £305 ish fitted, so if I can source some for a lot cheaper than that I will be a very happy bunny! |

You will need a long flat blade screwdriver and a 10mm spanner. Open the bonnet. Use the screwdriver to release the catch of the indicator. Gently pull the indicator forward and out. Undo the 3 x 10mm bolts securing the headlight. Disconnect all of the cables and then pull the headlight forward and out. Refitting is a reverse of removal - take your time to line up the indicator so the housing goes in all of the slots (2 on the headlight housing, one on the wing). You may have to swap the headlight adjusters (if you have leccy ones) to the new headlights. They are simple to do but a bit fiddly. Do them while the lights are off the car.

I`ve got a pair off a 1997 T5 if needed. I`ve had them sat in the shed for a couple of years now, I know they work, but not sure how good they are. One lense has a chip/crack, but that shouldn`t be an MOT failure. If you want to take a risk on them, you can have them both for £40 inc. P&P.
