BC--sorry to be so presumptuous on my long post. It's night here in Norway and I was tired and didn't read your post close enough. I didn't realize you were thinking of buying Volvo's OEM HID kit, rather than going out on the net for one. If your car has some sort of self-leveling suspension so you don't blind on-coming, go for it. If you blind someone and cause a wreck because you've got four hundred pounds of apples in the back, the injured party could sic some contingency lawyer on you. I'm all for HID and wish I could have afforded it on my 97 850. My 97 850 and the later models do have the plumb bubble on the headlamps you can adjust when you put a lot of weight in the back to keep from blinding on-coming drivers, and I've had to adjust on several occasions when I was heavily weighted in the back. On-coming kept flashing their headlights at me until I pulled over, grabbed my 8mm Allen, and screwed them down. I will repeat and say that Euro lenses with a good xenon bulb are your best and safest option. Dick
