I ordered the passenger side assembly in July for daughter's sedan, from lampsandlenses. Now the plastic around the brake light is so warped from heat that I need a new assembly. lampsandlenses says, sorry, 30 days is all the protection you get.

I ordered the same assembly from the same place for my '89 wagon a year ago. Same heat warp now around the brake light.

So I've learned my lesson. You all gave me thoughtful advice at the time and I wanted to get back to you with my experience. The build quality looks OK when you put them on but they don't last, or didn't in my case. I'll go with Groton if their warranty justifies it, otherwise oem.

I have ordered 2 frnt turn signal lens and they have been pretty decent.

Hey,

Just my two cents here, but a while ago, I purchased a set of left and right tail-light lenses from lamps and lenses on their ebay store. I had already installed some LED replacement bulbs prior to the lens replacement. The LED bulbs (expensive but loooong lasting) don't create enough heat to warp the plastic. The only problem I see, is that during winter driving, the LED bulbs wont produce enough heat to melt off any snow that might get on them. The aftermarket tail light covers are still looking good, tho...just sayin...

My experience is to use the lamps, but use OEM Volvo sockets.

First set I bought I found the aftermarket sockets were a terrible fit (and I find they still are). Bulb faults galore, and the right lamp melted in two weeks. Since using OEM sockets, no problems.

Did you have the proper light bulbs?
Higher wattage bulbs will damage about any lens. In fact I have one 164 tail light lens
that has part of a bulb melted into it.

Yes, the bulbs came installed with the assembly (one reason I thought it was a good deal), and I confirmed they were correct.
