Re: Now HERE, on the other hand.... 900 93

THIS is different than the God Awful $30 switch.

Those H/L's are going to cost you a GRIP! You have to get them in pairs... well... perhaps not YOU BOB, but most would get a matched set so the car doesn't look stupid with one new headlight and one funky yellowed old one.

I have heard rumors of replacement, front panels only, glue them onto the old reflector and base, not seen them yet.

Also, an aftermarket supplier I deal with was bragging last week about being able to get aftermkt H/L's for Volvo's... I challenged him with a Visa Card Number....suddenly.... they "Weren't in yet". We'll see.

In the meantime you can take them out and repair the chips and holes with a pourable methyl-acrylate, UV cure filler that will dry and remain clear.

It a fairly onerous job, one you'd probably like.... hehehe, when your done rebuilding that switch..... but it would buy you some time until the aftermarket...whatevers are an option.
