Default Headlights for my 98 s70

I am just wondering what other headlights are available for my car. (98 s70t5). I'd like to change both the front and the rear lights to led but wouldn't mind some halogen bulbs up front. How hard would the switch be and where can I go to get the parts I need.

You have options.

1. You can purchase the Volvo OEM C70 Jewels. Viva Performance sells these. They are a full headlight and turn signal assembly.

2. You can purchase from EBAY, EuroSportTuning the ABM Projectors. Which is a full headlight and turn signal assembly as well. They come in black and chrome. I have these in chrome and like them a lot.

3. You can just buy the E-code headlight lenses and turn signals. You'' have to remove your headlight assemblies take off the old headlight lenses and install the new ones and the turn signals are clear and you just take out your old ones and put the new ones in.

Might look like your DOT lenses you have now, but they aren't. Put out a different beam pattern and they look great. I had these and loved them.



------------

Halogens are no upgrade to your headlights. If you want to upgrade go to HID's. They are cheap and easy to install. SharpHID.com is the place to buy them and you can get either the 35w or 55w kit doesn't matter. But you want to to stay between 4500k and 5000k for the bulb temp. Any less and your in the Halogen light output range and anymore and you actually loose light output and only gain a color change.
