The subject line says it all, looking for good quality at the best price.

I looked at FCP Groton, the price looks good but I don't know the quality or the manufacturer on the aftermarket stuff.

Any input would be helpful, TIA.

    For what cars?

    I have a pair for 740 sedans, and one of the five panels for a 240 DL sedan. There were a bunch of really nice looking clusters in the yards the other day. They'll all be gone by the time I go back I'm sure (half-price sale).

    More and more well maintained Volvo are showing up in the yards. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

    Spend the extra money and buy OEM lights. FCP has the best prices. I think they are like $120/each. Aftermarket ones leak and are poorly constructed.

    You do not want anything but Volvo OEM. The aftermarket lights are not worth considering.

      Check Swedish Engineering. I bought a wagon taillight from them a while back--Volvo original, an exact match for the other side. Seems to me that at that time they wanted around $125 which was not too much more than the aftermarket lights.

      Hmmmm. Might have been as much as two years ago. I don't know what they would want now.

      Good luck.
