Done mine ages ago. For the rear number plate lights you can buy the whole unit with approx 16 leds in each. Had them fitted to mine for over 2 years and still all ok, and cheap.
this is why i like volvo from 2008- when you can remove that headlight, my last 2006 volvo s60 was pain tight im going to buy a 2008 volvo s80 t6 awd s80 looks nice :)
Led in the numberplate lights is something u have to do it looks so much nicer. Great channel really enjoy your content especially about your volvo
Thanks man! its definitely on the cards ;) thanks for the support 😁😁
@@drivelife.channel Hello mate, Love your content, being an S80 owner myself. Can you please tell me the socket of the bulb? Also do you have a link maybe where I could buy those? Thanks
I added led headlights to my S80 (dipped beam only) and bluish-white parking lights a while ago. It has Completely transformed the look of my S80. And the LEDs are from Amazon with the correct beam pattern and passes my MOT. Completely changed night time driving as those halogen bulbs were awful. 2011 D3
Care you share a link?
Please the Amazon link? 😊😊
Be aware new rules coming into force soon, led bulbs will be a fail MOT if fitted to halogen head lights.
Could we get a link, or atleast brand name?
@@wacman this is why I haven’t bothered changing mine. I will just put in some halogens that are advertised as brighter whiter lights from Phillips or something but only when I can get a deal on them! Lol
Great videos !!! I have a 2011 S80. Iv changed all lights to LEDs. Looks much nicer. Now just got to replace a front wheel bearing. !!!¡
Thanks, been looking for a good video on how to do this.
Love the g shock mudman
Hi, I just upgraded the front parking bulbs on my 2012 XC70 for LED’s like you did. (Osram not cheap chinatown) Did you get any error message on your dash regarding these bulbs? I got one. Can I get rid of it somehow? Cheers
What’s the best compatible led bulbs for the side/park lights?
I have done this, but the led bulb was slightly too big. It press-fitted through the hole (and I thaught "uh oh"), did not work and didn't fit through the hole again on the way out, so only the empty socket came out. Now it resides in the bottom of the head light for ever.
How can i replace my rear fog light bulb in the headlight compartment, it is so tiny and i don't what to pull or press , may be i can pull it out with cable, in volvo s40 2007 model.
I've got some led indicator lights on order for my p3 s60. They are Cambus bulbs so hopefully I don't get hyper flash. 👀
Ive changed the interior to led aswell :P
Any problems with the bulbs what site are they from thanks
They are still all good and were ordered from Amazon :)
@@drivelife.channelthere that many I haven’t got a clue will any w5w fit thanks
I did try to repace the interior to led on my 59 v70. They all popped amediately. Is there a certain type i should be useing. Thanks
What are the strobes on the grille please?
Thanks for the video! What were the bulbs you used? Did they trip the CANBUS?
Hey Jeff!
To be honest they were cheap Cambus ones from amazon! no specific brand!!
@@drivelife.channel Thanks, I will check around.
Hi there,
Thanks for showing what’s what. Is it legal in UK to install such LEDs?
Yes because they are not dipped or main beam :)
How did you setup the indicators to be on all the time ?
Most volvos put a yellow sidelight on the edge on their cars. It is not the indicator, it is next to it. As you can see this volvo has basically 4 sidelights.
Any videos how to Replace rear parking sensors?
Hi Ben, unfortunately my car isn't fitted with parking sensors
Do you see a blue led glow when the lights are OFF due to the tip being blue and mirrors all around?
No :) they do glow very faintly for about a minute after the car is locked before it enters sleep mode :)
@@drivelife.channel no I mean when 100% off. You still see the blue paint of the bulb?
Nope :) they are white so hide very well in the light :)
does it pass mot?
Just updated my headlights to led on my c30. The only problem is, is the condensation which as accumulated in the headlight casing, that's because these aftermarket led lights have cooling fans on them and they stick out of the rear of the headlight case so you are unable to refit the plastic seal. Basically is there a way of avoiding this other than drilling 1" hole on the rear of the seals?
You can buy Osram (german automotive lightning company) easyled series, where the led is a perfect fit with no sticking ouz so you can refit the seal. I dont know if they have that series of led in the usa (it has debuted this year) but i believe osram is called sylvania there
ow I have to find some leds for my Volvo!
I just got a 2009 S40 R Design diesel and pulling out the headlights for a cleaning and new bulbs is one of my first priorities, I don't think I've ever had a car with such awful headlights. I will definitely do this LED upgrade to the "City lights" as well. It's nice they come out entirely from the car though. I didn't even realise I had under mirror lighting till I pressed the button on the remote fob, they don't come on at night when the car is unlocked automatically which is a bit rubbish
Good job the light is removed from the car it would be impossible otherwise 😵💫
Does anyone else get an error message when they switched?
So, I need 4 w5w?
Were the bulbs cambus????
Yep :)
Canbus not needed on the parking lights
Ooooooh I was cringing watching you turn the light around on that wood table, I had visions of scratches all over it🥴🥴🥴
Bruh ocd
I thought it was illegal to replace normal lights by LED lights for the front and the back of the car!
Where’s the link
The bulbs should be cambus
I use long nose angled pliers to remove and refit the bulbs on my XC70. Easy Peasy
Or just get an older P2 V70R. My 04 came with glass HID's.
Yeah my 04 s60 came with d2r's too 🤔
