Volvo chrome edged screen/dash vent + other easy upgrades
Hi All
While looking for easy things to add to my newly acquired 2015 V60, I found people in LHD markets fitting this: https://www.tascaparts.com/oem-parts...bezel-39836089 Looks a lot better IMHO - it’s odd that this one very central piece was left black and a bit cheap looking. But the main problem... can anyone find a RHD version? Other easy to add things I’ve found online and done: Boot light on RHS actually in the boot (pre-wired, Just cut hole and slot in) Frameless autodimming mirror (pre-wired) Though it doesn’t clear in reverse-think the mirror is from the wrong model year for my car...still better than zero autodimming. Cargo area power socket (pre-wired) Just add fuse and socket Sunglasses holder - replaces drivers grab handle, Volvo want £50 but can be found online for £15 Things that I’d like but not done yet: Puddle lights in bottom of front doors - place for light and wiring there, but does not power light...hmm - needs investigation. Front door pocket lights - need to buy the lights but wiring and hole is there. Rear footwell lights - need to make loom to piggy back off front footwell lights |

Would you be able to share links to guides for the things you've already done? Where you got the parts and how you did it? Mainly interested in the Cargo Area Power Socket.

A link to the boot light fitting would be useful. The small LED on the tailgate is not much use.

"Puddle lights in bottom of front doors - place for light and wiring there, but does not power light...hmm - needs investigation."
Do you know for sure the fittings are there? I can't see anything on the bottom of my doors but I haven't taken the panel off yet. I bought some leds off Ebay and it said they fit my model but I'm not so sure. Mine is a 2013 S60. This is what I got: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-2-4Pcs...72.m2749.l2649 |

Well, I've spent the last couple of hours taking my door apart and I definately don't have the wiring or the fittings for a light in mine.
With the leds I bought I can see how I can fit them fairly easily though. I've found the 12v feed which goes live when the light button on the keyfob is pressed. You're right about getting a wire through the door, I didn't want to pull at the loom connector too much and I'm not sure how it comes off. If the connector is accessable it would be easy enough to feed a live from the interior lights. If not I'll use the keyfob option. |
