Looked up any threads in the archives for the above and found very little help (other than changing the whole headlight assembly for the European lights. One thing that was suggested was to change the bulbs for Philips VisionPlus. Having read this I decided to try these bulbs on my Subaru Impreza, and was very disappointed , they are no brighter than the OEM. Did find a link to a site suggesting using the Toshiba HIR 9012 bulb (instead of the standard 9005). Perhaps the equivalent Toshiba bulb may work for the Volvo.
Hope this may be of some help.
Going back to the Euro lights for a '98 V70 could someone tell me where I can get these?

Many thanks,
The Bear
