2nd hand headlight?

catbaby11 · Apr 17th, 2012, 13:29

Hello,
We have a 2004 XC90 which I have recently run into a wall breaking the front passenger headlight. The whole headlight unit needs to be replaced, we have been quoted £298 + VAT for this (£360). The problems are a) we are pretty skint and b) the driver side headlight is quite worn so buying a brand new one for the passenger side will make this look daft.

Does anyone know where I could get a 2nd hand front passenger side headlight that is in good working condition?

Or would you just cough up for a brand new one and settle for a lopsided car?

Also, as a separate quick question, can I ask what type of oil you all use or what you feel is best for the performance of this car?

Many thanks!

Hi There

Keep an eye on Ebay - I managed to get one for £70 - I had to wait for a couple of months for the listing to come up & in the end it came from France but it was worth the saving.

You could also try these guys - Volvo Breakers in Preston. Ask for Pete. He helped me out with a bonnet & grille for my XC90 a couple of weeks ago. Nic guy & he did me a deal on both parts at the same time.

Good luck.
