Check it out: 2003 C70 comes with clear headlights and freeform reflectors!

My assumption is the assembly will fit into 98-00 SVC70's, and am having my indy tech check this out and to provide pricing. Hmmmm. Cornerlights don't change.

    Yeah, they'll fit. Figure on over $500 for them, and it changes to a H11 bulb. Bummer if you have HIDS.

    Check here for more discussion and pics of the new lights.

      Why would HID's be a problem? You might have to adapt a mounting, but your wiring and ballasts are OK. According to Philips, H11 is the same as H7 only with a weatherproof synthetic base. I'd be surprised if they didn't already have an HID equivalent.

      If....well, when....I acquire the new fixtures, I'll probably bore out the back of the low beam reflector and put in HID projectors. Then I'll be ahead of the BMWs and Audis, who only have a power spray to "clear' their headlights of road grime. The Volvo wipers work much better.

        Kai seems to think that he's SOL with his H7 HID's. He's having HIDS4Less look into a projector or a way to modify his base. You're right about the bulb, it looks the same, height, width, etc.... even though it has a few less lumens.

        There's a HID group buy at www.volvospeed.com if you're in need of some. It ends very soon.
