I installed the turn signals that I bought from IPD. I did it on my 96 GLt wagon and now on my 95 turbo wagon. Installation is straightforward. Your car, like mine is probably not wires. That's okay. All you do is take off the volvo nameplate. Be careful as you can easily sratch the paint. Use a blow dryer to warm the area up (but not too much). Then use a wooden butterknife. Metal ones will scratch the paint (I know trust me). Anyway, get a wire habger and straighten it out. Tape the wires that come with the lights onto the end of the hanger. Run the hanger through the hole. Have the hood up. Run the hanger up so you can grab it above the wheel well. Thread it so it doesn't get in the way of the hinge. Run the hanger to the front so it drop down underneath the turn light in the front. There are wires taped together. They are color coded. The IPD sheet tells you which wires to connect. It took about a hlaf hour for both sides. Works great. Even the volvo dealer was impressed.
By the way, the new S80 has turn signals standard, but they are of a different style. I don't think they'll work on the 850 or 70 series. The S*0 is a great car.
