That would look great on an s80, you'd think they'd make after market headlights with the strips built in.

If you go to Superbrightleds.com you will find a Big Array of LEDS for Automotive use, some of them are really neat.
Good Luck and Happy Motoring....

I always planned on doing this, but never acually did it...so I'm thinking to purchase a similar led light strip, ...good **** though I didn't expect it to look soo good..I'm not sure exactly what the law would be on it, I know inside blocking any light at all would be illegal in all states, outside not blocking would depend on if proper relays were used to function as the audi ones do, but again this isn't an audi.

on the 2004 up S80 there is a small 'city light'. You could replace the bulb with led style or expand on that.

There always aftermarket/ebay strips in the lower bumper...if you're feeling ambitious you could put your headlight in the oven and put led's behind the glass.

EST makes headlights for S60's, but none for S80 unfortunately.
