2007 C70 - Headlamp - Compatible S40/V50 Replacement

wandererz · Sep 2nd, 2012, 14:30

I need to replace a left hand side headlamp on a 2007 C70 and was wondering if an equivalent year S40 headlamp or similar would be a compatible replacement.

Does anyone have any experience of this?

The part code on my original LH headlamp is 9466361. There is one listed online with the same part code for a S40/V50.

The right hand side was replaced last year and the code on that is 31335186.

So i am assuming that part code 31335185 (LH) will also work for the left.

I have also found part code 31283041 which may also be compatible.

If you have a S40 or V50 would you kindly check the part code on your LH headlamp for me please and post along with the model year.

I just need to be sure that what i am buying would be compatible. And perhaps this will help other C70 owners in future.
Many thanks in advance.

None will fit, as the C70 has different "cut outs" in the wings. The C30 ones MIGHT just fit, but S40/V50 will NOT fit.

This is what caused my confusion (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLVO-S40-...091939#vi-desc).

The part code is the same as on my C70 but it is listed for an S40/V50 2004-2007.

At that price it's a third of the cost of a new part. But i just need to be certain rather than end up with a part i need to sell on.

According to Skandix (a German Volvo specialist) the headlights aren't identical. No matter if xenon or non xenon.
