They are fairly easy to switch - assuming the wiring ont he new ones you bought matches up with the Volvo harness.

Are you interested in selling me the glass lenses from your stock headlights?

send me a PM if so....

The lights on the older models varied from all in one or two part ie sep/corners-indicators and had differing lenses for diff/Country but as said these will fit all the years. Mine arrived yesterday!!!!! Yay :banana: Had alook but family time and work comes first so will take pics of the install when i have time soon !! :grin: Les M.
