Default Headlight question

Can anyone tell me what models and years used the same headlights as my car? I am planning a trip to PNP and making a list. Off the Volvo subject but my Jeep has been making noise so I opened the rear differential over the weekend and found a bunch of pinion gear teeth laying in the bottom of the housing so now I HAVE to go to PNP.

I'm assuming "your model" is the 95 turbo wagon in your sig. If that is the case, then 93-97 850 is your answer.

What about the V70s? The last one I saw looked like the headlights were the same but I didn't have the two next to each other.

V70 headlights are different and do not interchange with 850 models. Google each model and look closely at the front. The hood, headlights, corner lights and fenders are different on these models.

850 wagon and sedan lights are the same. and S70 and V70 lights are the same. The generations match, but do not interchange. BUT, if you really wanted, you could swap S/V70 fenders and hood and bumper and have the face lift front end....lol.

I am going to correct the year spread. A true 93 will have larger lights. You can tell by the bottom trim below the lights and the bumper. So your actually looking for 94-95.


95




93

Early model 94's have the same lights as the 93. So you're looking for a late production 94-any model 97

The difference between the 850 and the S70 is nearly 100% cosmetic, minus some emissions, and the change to a 16T with white injectors on the T5. A s70 fender will bolt right up on an 850. But if you do that you will need S70 lights. Which means you need an S70 hood.
