2006 Volvo S60R with condesnation in right headlight assembly S60 2006

posted by  someone claiming to be bradboulet on  Mon Jul 23 10:45 CST 2012 [RELATED]

My girlfriend has a 2006 Volvo S60R AWD. Great car! Her right headlight assembly has some condensation in it and the headlamp (Xenon)isn't working. We have been told by a Volvo dealership as well as a specialty Volvo shop that the entire assembly probably needs replaced. The assembly costs approx $1,100 + ~$200 to install. Does anyone have any familiarity with this situation and perhaps an alternative to a $1,300 solution?

DO NOT try to clean the reflector!

In addition to looking at the seals, examine the entire assembly for defects - If you have a small hole, try a repair with epoxy.

If the lamp is burned out, get a replacement lamp. Use a hair drier to blow hot air in and 'cook' off the moisture and then make sure the rubber seals are intact.
