What LED headlights do people use in their Volvo

I recently acquired a 2007 XC AWD and it came with LED headlights.

Re: Cargo 12v power port

I've retrofitted the original 12V socket, sourced from the junkyard. The connector was already present behind the panel. To do this, you need to remove the panel, drill a whole for the socket, install, connect and reassemble. The socket is powered via a shunt (RSH3) in the REM, so you need to add t...

Re: Post PCV Job Question

You don't feel how bad the gasket has gotten until you put a new one on. They are so thick that they will flatten before they start cracking sometimes.
