Default Wanted - C70 Jewel Headlights

Preferably with Jewel indicators, but headlights alone are also OK.

email me at clinton@priddle.com

Must be for RHD cars, i.e. not Continental European or North American headlights.

Thanks!

Ha, who doesn't want those lights!

In the UK when they do come up for sale (and not cracked) they are generally around £120-200 a set

I would be very happy to pay that for them, plus shipping.

My alternative is the ebay projector headlights, but they are not the style I am after.

And the rest - I paid close to £300 for mine. They are mint though.

I am still looking for the headlights, someone must have a set. So far the only emails I have received have been from Nigerians wanting me to send money to them via western union...

If they are what are also called Crystal headlights, there appears to be at least two sets on eBay at the moment.......

I picked up a full set with indicactors, one lens had a stone chip and paid £250 shipped, as has been said they don't come up very often. I've been looking at C70 convertable's on eBay and there's few being broken now so maybe some more will turn up.

They do look great and work so much better than the standard lights.

its cheaper to buy a ****head C70 03-05 cabrio (usually in the cold weather) and break it. loads of bits fit the S/V70s and 850s, so youve got custom for bits. its got the crystals, wider back axle, cabrio subframe with body braces, facelifted C70 taillights, possibly R aluminium interior trim etc etc. the list goes on

but, if you arent scared of prices, theyre about £200 each NEW from Volvo.
