E-code lenses S70 1999

I'm looking to improve my night vision on my 99 S70. I would like to replace the current DOT lenses w/ E-Code lenses and possibly a better bulbs (don't really want to get those blue one's if I can avoid it).

Where can I order the lenses from (do ones for 850's fit?), and what would be a upgrade for the bulbs.

Thanks,

Peeter

S70 and 850 have different lenses. I got mine from Precision Volvo, Rowley MA, 978.948.7778. After you order those, go to autolamps-online.com and order the Philips VisionPlus. Your night vision will improve dramatically with this combination.

I dont see a huge improvement, but ok. Maybe it was just hard to follow up the hids.

Eurosporttuning.com has them. And no ones for an 850 will not fit an S70

Thanks, but they only seem to have the ones for an 850 (the reason I asked about fit). It looks like they're going on a shopping trip though, so I'll ahve to check back w/ them at the end of August.

Precision Volvo, great guys. You're going to love these lenses. BUT, don't try to clean the silvery surface when you go to replace them. Big mistake for me.

How hard is it to put these lenses on?

Easy. S70 1998

Takes about 10 minutes per side.

Pop out the corner light assembly (depress plastic tab). Disconnect low beam and high beam wires. Remove 10mm nuts and the headlight assembly to free the headlight unit. Remove the clips holding in the old lens...and replace with the new. The kit will include new clips and gasket.

Do not, repeat: DO NOT wipe the reflectors inside the assembly. It's some sort of vapor deposition coating and will pretty much come right off.
