1998 v70 headlights

Hi Spanky and welcome to the site.
Lights should not be dim, check your charging system. If that's not it maybe you can purchase brighter bulbs or get a different pair.

Dimm Head lights.
Hi New to forum. Do most of my own work.
I have a 98 V70 AWD with same issue. To solve this I took the assemblies out, took apart the assembly so that you have the white plastic part that holds the bulbs. Clean this assembly with small amount of acetone to remove any oils. Don't use to much as it removes the existing coating. Just a quick rub down.
Get a can of aluminum paint. Got a can from ACE Hardware for about $6. With NO bulbs in the reflective unit spray the aluminum on the whole reflective face including edges so it looks nice when installed. Let dry for a couple of hours.
reassemble the head light. And there you go Bright as could be.
Work great for me.

Can someone point out where the diagnostic test port is on a Volvo V70 1998?
I'm told it's behind the drivers headlight and after having a look it could be a number of things, but I don't want to pull on the wrong thing. Can someone describe it, or point me to a picture of it? Thanks
