Hello Chaps n' esses,

I'm in UK, and my rear tail/brake/reversing/flasher clusters are getting and looking very crazed & dull, plus I think that the bulb connections are tired/corroded with age, and causing bulb failure to come and go on/off - but not too often - yet!

Rather than having to pay an exorbident £75 (or around 150 dollars in USA) From the dealers, does anyone know where i can get pattern look-a-likes at a more resonable price please.

Oviously shipping from states will be high, but hope to be coming over there soon on business n' bring back a set from "Las-Vegas" & surrounding districts.

Thanks in advance for any tips or advice.

I got some from GSF. They're not exactly like the original but good enough IMO. The earth connection was a bit of a stretch. Regards.

German Swedish and French Car Parts knocks out rear lamp clusters for £35.00 ex VAT, which are probably the same ones sold by the Volvo dealer.

Alternatively, keep your eyes peeled for 940 estates in 'Do It Yourself' scrapyards; Their lamp clusters are much newer and therefore less likely to be crazed or damaged. They will probably cost you about £10.00 a pair.

There's always the eBay option too...

I'm happy to help!

It is only fair to offer help when I can, considering the amount of help I have got from members of the BrickBoard and the UK Volvo OC forum

In due course, I plan to replace my crazed rear lenses with secondhand 940 items (My favourite scrapyard often has a 900 estate or two in stock, which have been willing donors for my 740). Failing that I will take a trip to my local GSF branch...
