IPD Headlight Lense Blues 97-855

I put E code lenses on my V70. I was in love with them, but they almost did not fit. Because the reflector is shaped differently for Europe, I had to lower the lights almost to their stopping point to have them adjusted correctly. The left lense also has a small clear section at the middle and outside edge. This section points right and up, great for reading road signs, but hell on truck drivers eyes. So a 3" piece of electrical tape covers the rectangle.
Make sure you adjust your new beam properly, by getting bumper against a wall and marking where the center of the beam is, then backing up about 20 level feet and making sure the center of the beam is still in the same place.
The E code lenses have the letter E on them and cost $150 - $200 for the pair.

$50 for installation???? That's 4 easy bolts and a bunch of clips. Tsk, tsk - an easy DIY.
