about the foglights S70

I don't have part numbers for you, but I have this advice about the foglights:

The wiring is already in place. All you need is the OEM light kit, the switch, the relay...and a little persistence while working in the cramp confines of the relay bay (next to the brake pedal). You'll also have to find and connect the jumper terminal. If you go ahead with this, contact me and I'll get you sopme more info.

The OEM foglights - which are very good design - don't fit properly in the airdam without modifications (I believe Volvo must have changed the airdam design spec somewhere along the way but neglected to inform Hella of the change). If you bolt them in as instructed, they'll point uselessly at the ground. [as it happens, I made the necessary modifications and they work great.]

You can hook up aftermarket lights to the OEM wiring and switch, too. My recommendation, Hella MicroDE's for the best halogen foglight available.

I also have a wiring diagram (from n0v8or) to give you independent control of the foglights.
