I did a similar retrofit a few years ago on a car I just sold using an FXR projector kit from the retrofit source. I sourced the clear lenses from autolampsplus.com for $108 at the time. They are not listed on the website, which is hosted on ebay, so you need to email or call them to ask if they can...

Asking price reduced to $3000.

Up for sale is my 1998 Volvo S70 T5 manual. For more information, including pictures and full maintenance history spreadsheet, check out the car at: http://sites.google.com/site/1998volvot5m/home This is a factory manual car and the only year of T5M's without the troublesome electronic throttle.

I believe that it is supposed to be biodegradable and it appears to degrade while still in the car. You don't need anything special to hold the door card pieces together, something like spray on...

The leather skins and foam bolsters will fit on the 850 frames, I believe. I have a 1998 S70, which I think uses the same frames as the 850's including impact firing side airbag. i have previously used an 850 seat bottom foam to add heat to my s70's seats, which worked fine. Swapping the skins take ...

I also have a 98 S70, our cars use H7 bulbs. Daniel Stern offers H9 bulbs on H7 bases, the H9's are rated at 2100 lumens at 65 watts as compared to 1450 lumens at 55 watts for the H7's. I have liked these better than other after market bulbs, especially since they don not have a blue coating like th...
