I hope you have a set of uk lamps,?? Bi-xeons are near £ 600 each !!

you do not want to know the replacement speedo cost to put in a UK one,

near £ 700 + £ 200 surcharge, as Volvo will not accept a KM one in exchange

all plus vat and about 2.5 hours fitting !!!

cheers for that, i'll give it a go.

its a uk car but i had to buy continental lights to register it with the british army in germany, they charged me £300 for the extra lights and offered 50 euros to buy them back after a year, robbers,

the car was very cheap tho

Hi - there's a set of headlamps on eBay (UK) at the moment (28/03/06) going at £100 EACH (on the 'Buy It Now' option). The item number is 4608438064

Don't know if they're suitable for you but worth a look.

regards

Guess I read your message wrong. On re-reading it looks as if you already have both sets but just wanted to know how to change them. As 'the great on' says, it's very easy. Makes a change that you don't need a very expensive, very specialised Volvo tool to do it!!!
