Headlights!

Truck lite said they will have the Volvo LED lights out this fall …. Two years behind schedule.

Only available at Volvo dealers. !

I can just imagine the price on those lights

 

we have seen the demo for the LED lights and they are amazingly bright. price will be around 100 more per side is what the rep is telling us.

 

Anyone know if these are available yet, if so are they any good?

 

It's called vapor ware parts, Volvo and truck lite promising this for over two years.

 

mine was $239 each at the Volvo dealership in des moines, iowa for my 2007 , took me about half hour or less too install it, it came all pre assembled, wiring harness, bulbs and everything, take out 4 bolts , slide the other in put the 4 bolts back in plug it in and pre factory aim adjusted too, now i can see just fine , from my old yellowish lights, but i have too thank that peasant who hit hit my headlight that only reason the boss change it out , as the other side was new from the other driver wiping out or as he put a another driver cut the turn too sharp in the truck stop and took out his left headlight fender ect,

 

One thing that makes them go cloudy early is ammonia. Lexan windshields on motorcycles, or headlight lenses hate the stuff. Any glass cleaner or windshield wash has lots of it in it. I never use windshield wash or a squeege on my lights just mild soap and water and they seem to last a lot longer that way.

 

For guys that want to restore the headlights.

Very good guide

Fellow I knew at an outfit with terrible maintenance (86% CSA--shop: "There's nothing wrong with that truck.") had a simple solution. If he wanted something fixed, he broke it bad enough to force the shop to fix. Usually worked, too. He part-timed as a mechanic somewhere.
