BC--thanks for the reply. Am looking to buy a white 97 850R wagon in the near to immediate future when I get back to the US next week, and will check with Volvo Houston (1-800-468-0041) where I buy all my OEM parts and see what they want for that HID system. The 70 lenses won't work on the 850 series, but there shouldn't be a problem with the electrics. You just have to get a diagram from someplace on how to hook it up to a non HID wired light system or go to Volvospeed.com to Bay 13. Somebody put a detailed post there on how to install an HID kit. I always thought the euro lenses and xenon came close to HID, but you're the first to state otherwise. Will revise my opinion.

Yes, I hauled a lot more than 200 kilos of apples in my wife's 97 850 wagon. The mother-in-law has quite a few apple trees, and it was a bumper harvest all over Norway this year. I must have hauled close to a ton in three separate trips from Sande down to Grimstad, about 140 miles. Had to screw down the lights each time I loaded up. Dick
