hello everyone. my 240 headlights are faded on the inside,the silver insert part behind the glass.
does anyone know if you can just get new inserts or will i have to buy complete new headlights.
thanks.

 

These parts should be available.

Try http://www.partsgateway.co.uk/.

They can search several suppliers and get quotes for you. Some parts will be used, others will be new. Used parts usually carry a warranty.

 

I have the same problem and would be interested to know what you find out. Please post your findings.
Has anyone tried replacing the Volvo headlights with something else, less expensive and brighter? ( is that sacrilege?)

 

HI, THANKS TO BILLOFDURHAM FOR HIS ADVICE. I WAS ABLE TO ORDER NEW HEADLIGHT INSERTS FOR
MY 240 FROM PFS PARTS LTD.COST WAS £24+VAT.EACH. THEIR NUMBER IS 0870 240 7982.
THEY ARE CURRENTLY AWAITING NEW STOCK SO I WILL HAVE TO WAIT A FEW WEEKS ON DELIVERY.
I WILL KEEP JKTIFFIN POSTED ONCE I HAVE THEM FITTED. CHEERS EVERYONE.

 

hi guys, about five months back i posted a topic relating to the poor condition of my 240 headlight inserts. well i had to wait forthe new ones which tooksome time to arrive, and it took me even longer to get around to fitting them. well for thoose of you who may be interested its a simple task to replace the corroded reflectors with thenew ones, well worth the effort i say. cheers.

 

I recently had to replace the passenger side headlight and turn signal because of an accident the wife got in to. I have been unable to find repacement inserts in North America. I did find a replacement lens but it's not cost effective since the reflector would still need to be done. I found that eeuroparts.com has the best price on the complete headlight at $80.00 each with free shipping after $39 US or $139 to Canada although this is prior to the brokerage charge of $30.00 Can plus GST for Canadians.
