Hey guys,
As you may know we just picked up a 2005 XC90 AWD "Package transporter" and we couldn't be more excited.

We ordered an HID kit for it but it turns out that the dealer in Illinois was mistaken - the car already had bixenons upon arrival... so on to the next mod...

As you see here, the XC90's have a big problem with "Egg Yolk" - look at that nasty orange bulb!

Well, we had just the solution - our LED turn signal kit in OEM Amber (this car has to be street legal... wouldn't want to get pulled over when rushing to get your orders on the 6:30 truck!)... Here are the results

Ours vs. normal (using the flash to really illuminate inside the housings)

Pretty noticeable, no? Here's another shot:

Much better... how about a closeup

Clean as a whistle. And now, they blink on and off sharp, like OEM LED Tail Lights on the new M3's. Pretty slick. I have a video for anyone who wants to see. I can email it.

Anyways, can't wait to do more mods on this thing!
Thanks for lookin!
