Hi All,

this is my first post.

I am in sydney australia and have just bought the xc90 D5 - My wife really loves it.

I recently bought a set of xenon gas bulbs from ebay that I plan to change for the standard bulbs.

has anyone tried this and what were your results?

I kind of remember someone telling me that the bulbs are potentially not good in hard rain ie the visibility is poor with the bulbs.

NB - this is not a full kit with relay thingo.. just the replacement bulbs.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks
