When we had our last S40, I fitted some clear headlamp lens which replaced the opaque/cloudy lens fitted by Volvo. The company supplying that kit was a foreign outfit called something like RetroFit, but I think they went bust a few years ago.
I understand that the equivalent dome shaped lens in a Beetle* is the same size but clear - has anyone fitted these lenses to their S40? I just want confirmation that they are the same size, and that they focal point is the same. Thanks *ScottishBrick comment, 4th post down https://www.swedespeed.com/threads/s...ptions.656347/

They do still exist but no longer seem to sell replacement H7 projectors. They only list Xenon upgrade projectors:
