Default lighting mods for C70?

Hi, I wanted to update my headlights on my US 2000 C70. So far, I've seen HID kits from China & supposedly Germany(looks like you have to makefit), complete projector beam headlight assemblies and European Spec lenses that replace the stock US spec glass.Does anyone have some experience with any of these?Would love to get some feedback. BTW currently using Silverstar Bulbs which did offer some improvement.

Sounds like your talking about the ABM Projector headlights and turn signals. I have these and they are wonderful. Better then the E-code setup I had before. 100% better.

Also if you want HID you should buy them from one of two places. My Depots sells them and you get a 14 month warranty. The place you should buy them from is SharpHID they have great kits and great prices and you get a LIFETIME warranty.

For pictures of the projector setup look at my "MODS" link in my signature and or look at my thread that is PINNED in the s70 section titled My Mods and My Reviews. Something like that. I have HID's as well.

2. EuroSportTuning also sells these.

3. Ebay has a few sets.

4. And finally PartsForVolvosOnline sell them as well.
