I'd be a little cautious about some LED's, there's beginning to be a few mumblings around about the fairly high temperature of the base of the bulb (the heat sink) and the ageing affect on the plastic bulb connector/holder - I've seen this myself.
i.e. - cool bulb capsule but hot connector base!

I have stuck with the original bulbs for now as only the one in the mirror had blown.
My new washer jets arrived this morning so will get them fitted shortly. Must say less than 24 hours after ordering they arrived so really good service from http://pfsparts.com/

Fitted a new set of washer jets this morning, as the cheap eBay ones produced a big dollop of water in one spot as opposed to evenly spread spray across the windscreen.
For anyone interested the part numbers for genuine washer jets can be seen in the below photo 20210329_140818.jpg

sat nav,,
One of the options i Wish mine had ! (oh and the dynaudio stereo with BT/handsfree or an Aux port) yes much prefer the Volvo spray pattern than the "not volvo" the one on the tailgate Maybe worth looking at as the sealing washer under it Does compress over time and let water in ,, usually drips onto the load space cover ,, cheap (ish) and Easy as to fit a Gen volvo one with seal that Seals (if you miss the drips , wait for winter and then check out the swimming pool in the spare wheel well,, like wot i did)

I will checkout the tailgate one, although I cant say I have noticed any leaks. I have checked the spare wheel well and it appears too be all dry.
