READ ONLY    PRINT   SAVE  HID H7 Headlight Bulbs...I messed up posted by  RedAlrt on  Tue Sep 20 10:50 CST 2005 Author: [PROFILE] [EVERY POST] [THREADS] [BEST POSTS]     [IGNORE ALL POSTS] last visit: Sun Sep 27 21:08 CST 2009 [RELATED] I messed up. I bought some H7 5000K headlight bulbs. They fit the Brick and they looked cool. However, they run a lot hotter than the OEM lights. As a result, I melted the connector on the passenger side. I got a bulb out indicator. When I went to disconnect the light, the connector crumbled in my hands. Fortunately, I found a replacement connector and harness for about 20 bucks. at a discount Volvo parts house. How does this harness connect to the car? Do I have to remove the headlight assembly? I have a Haynes Volvo manual if I have to. Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.

Pretty easy to install. Now all headlights work. I think I'll stay with stock H7 bulbs Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.

  READ ONLY    PRINT   SAVE  Go to a NAPA store for a new connector posted by  Ken C on  Tue Sep 20 17:29 CST 2005 Author: [PROFILE] [EVERY POST] [THREADS] [BEST POSTS]     [IGNORE ALL POSTS] last visit: Wed Nov 18 17:28 CST 2009 [RELATED] NAPA has higher-temperature rated connectors -- at least for H4 bulbs (for Euroheadlights). Maybe they have some (made from the same material) for yours -- ask for them. Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.

Be careful -- upgrading one part of the circuit will usually reveal the next weakest link. When I converted my 242 to very-high-output headlights, I installed 4 relays - one for low beams, one for high beams on each side; and ran 10/12 gauge wire from the power source (alt) to the relay, and from the relay outputs to the lights, and for the grounds. Since my headlights (H1/H4 Hella units) are all steel and glass -- nothing to melt now. They are bright and warm. I like.
