Can the seal on the headlight assembly be replaced? V70-XC70 2006

posted by  someone claiming to be Hugh on  Fri Jul 14 21:18 CST 2023 [RELATED]

Hello All,

In reviewing the replacement headlight assemblies, the original Volvo assembly is $645. An OEM alternative from Valeo is $349.95. Then there is an aftermarket unit from TYC, which is based in Taiwan. I just watched a video where a gentleman in the U.K. was replacing a both headlight assemblies with a "Taiwan Aftermarket" units. I assume they were manufactured by TYC. He mentioned that during the installation, the lenses did not fit into their slots as easily as the original Volvo units. He also commented, and this caught my attention, that there was now a gap between where the plastic bumper ended and the lower portion of the headlight assembly that was not present with the original Volvo headlamps.

My question to all is: Has anyone had an experience with using TYC headlight assemblies? Thank in advance to all who respond.

Hugh
