Default Halogen?

I would like to put halogen(or xenon? not sure which one they are) lights in my car, i already have HID lights and i would like to put white lights, like the one's in the pic, but like those ones, more like i drill a hole in my bumper for them to go in they are from a 740, but yeah, any sites?

Did you look at your bumper and see if it already has a Hole? It might.
The stock lights are Hella's and are pretty pricey.
I would search for a set you like the looks of and buy them.

Thanks Tech, my car has a hole (triangular one) on each side, but on th left side of the car is the towing thing, so i doubt a light will fit there.....but i dont know where to look for the Hella's, and would they be white or yellow? i dont want yellow lights

They came either way.

Look up under the bumper for a hole going into the metal part of the bracket itself.
Not on the front of the lower part of the bumper.

If you have the Hole you will have to put the nut on from under the car on the Bracket itself.

what bracket? im talking about that i think, the hole is under the bumper, on one side there is a black thing that i can remove so i can put a light there, but on the other theres the hook so people can pull my car whenever i get stuck. Does this help? they are where the arrows are pointing, under that bumper


Would these fit?

Or they are gonna be installed like the ones in the picture of the 740 i posted ?

What about these?

Can the hook for towing be removed? like unscrewing it or not?

Ok I know it isn't a Volvo but look how mine are mounted.
Some of the Volvo's mounted in the holes you speak of and some mounted like mine.
You might have holes in yours like mine does.

Well that looks good, i guess i could put them like that, because finding the right size for the hole might be hard,

They look like they install like mine.
The ones on the pic you posted looks like they mount like mine as well.

If they mounted in the holes you wouldn't see the sides of the lights.

but those ones would actually fit in the holes? im sure they wont fit because the hook for towing is there, can it be taken off? what do you mean by "you wont see the side of the lights" if i mount them in the holes i think they would look better

Yes it can come off.

If you put them in the holes they will sit almost all the way in the holes.

It is not the stock bumper but made by Volvo.
They should fit but maybe be smaller.

Find a set of Hella's
Check a salvage yard near you.

Check here or you will have to find a used set.
I don't think they still sell the exact size ones anymore.
