I've been off for a while ... I still own my S80 2000 2.9 but I also bought an XC70 2006 D5 185 Yeappyyyyy
It happens that i got a great offer for a set of genuine HID headlights for the S80. Mine is with simple halogen H7 bulbs, so I grabbed them without loosing any time.
The donor car:
Test plug into my wiring, without physically mounting the HID headlights:
Fire them up, LOW beam:
High beam:
Physically mounted on the car:
Sorry, it was late and dark.
No issues with mounting at all. Remove the bumper, remove the old assembly and fit the new ones.
Now some info: The Hallogen headlights has those 5W side markers in them, while the HID doesn't. When you got HID you should use turn signals with a hole for side markers in them. I'll find and replace them, it's ok.
My problem is other: My car doesn't have wiring for the auto-leveling thing in the HID assembly. Is there any workaround to make them work, or I'll have to just find a way to adjust them and leave them stationary just like the halogen ones are?
Thanks for any advice.
