Can the seal on the headlight assembly be replaced? V70-XC70 2006

David,

You are knowledgeable about Volvo headlight lenses. I think you are right, the seal on the headlight assembly cannot be replaced. The Volvo headlight is still available but lists for $675. FCP and eEuro and iPd, Inc. sell the Volvo unit for about $500. They also sell an OEM by Valeo for about $360. Then there is an aftermarket brand called "TYC" which sells for about $200. TYC appears to be made in Taiwan and not China and the reviews are favorable. If my local garage cannot reseal the headlight assembly, I'll probably purchase the "TYC" unit. I did call a salvage yard, but it didn't have any used lenses. I could make additional inquiries.

Thank you for your reply.

Hugh
