A 1997? V70? I was under the impression S/V/C70 begain with the 98 model year. You can start by clicking the ads that cycle through the top of this site.

As to headlamps, though, I recommend you get the best you can. Just be sure of the kind of light you need before you order, they are NOT interchangeable.

For 850's, I'd get Sylvania SilverStar ($20 each) which you can pick up at a nearby Autozone. Online, a gazillion places would have them, such as jcwhitney.com. A 30% increase in output, good white light.

For SVC70's, which use the H7 lamp, I recommend either Philips VisionPlus (autolamps-online.com, $40 for a pair)or Hella LightPower (http://www.rallylights.com/hella/xenon_bulbs.asp, #78119). These have 50% higher output than stock. They're whiter, too.
