Most fog lights are just “
I spent too much on this car” markers

"I think I'll put yellow lamps in mine... Maybe PIAA's!"

A little reading and a multimeter should get you on track:

They are holding up great! Had them for over two years with no issues. No special bulbs, just remember you need bulbs for C70, vice V70 and you will be fine. Just a side note, C70 bulbs are way more expensive than V70 bulbs. Good to know. I’m always a little leary of aftermarket parts. I’m glad to ...

Great deal! I wish there were JYs like that here. And +1 to the common wiring harnesses in these cars. 99% of P80’s are very well designed and engineered. Decades later, owners are still enjoying that advantage. And a Thank You to Matthew for a fantastic forum to keep all of the Volvos we can Alive ...

IMHO, the fog lights in these cars are essentially pointless. The point of Fog lights is to illuminate the road . So that you can see where the road is and avoid running off the road. They only work with lowbeams and have no reach to speak of. Fog lights are so the driver can see the road not see d...

Just get a new unit from the JY.
Bolt it up, plug it in and move on.

If you want it to last forever,

I purchased DEPO Jewel headlight assemblies for 2003-2004 C70 from Amazon. Direct fit, all glass, wonderful! I'm curious about how they're holding up for you. How long have you had them? Anything special for lamps? And to the OP - Whatever you do, don't skimp on lens protection. 3M Xpel is worth ev...

My factory jack is still unused.

I use a floor jack and a hockey puck
to lift at that point just long enough
to set jack stands and get to work.

AFAIC, that OEM jack is for well
chocked emergencies only. Scary...

IMHO, the fog lights in these cars are essentially pointless. Strongly disagree. They let oncoming traffic know a d*head is passing. I think about the only time that I use the fog lights, ( front and rear ), is when there’s a lot of snow getting kicked up, or in that awesome “ice” fog we. get aroun...

IMHO, the fog lights in these cars are essentially pointless. They only work with lowbeams and have no reach to speak of. Two popular headlight upgrades for distance are buckets with reflectors that are still shiny and E-code lenses, or even better, the “jewel” type headlights from 2003 and 2004 C s...
