    OEM Trucklite LED's are WAY too expensive. $800/ea. With only a 1 year warranty.

    Expensive yes but totally worth it also.

    Ran my last pair almost non-stop day and night for 4 years and never had to touch them.
    Extremely high quality and long life

    With nothing more than a 1 year warranty, my boss can't justify spending $1,600/truck x 35 trucks = $56,000.

    Here's a dirt cheap way to upgrade the bulbs without causing glare... thisnis assuming the factory volvo housings aren't burnt up and old as dirt.

    You will get more light output than any LED bulb on the market by spending 50 bucks in halogen bulbs and shaving s tab, HID would be much brighter but more expensive and extra components to fail.

    This "may" work. Our problem is the chrome burns off the plastic reflectors and won't disperse the light. I've taken to repainting them with chrome spray paint from WallyWorld and they're a little better. Maybe with a brighter bulb, they'll be good enough to not have to replace the headlight assy. at $365/pop.

    Nothing will work until you (or your cheap boss) replace the housings. Chrome paint the bowls wont work or last either. Dont buy them at volvo and you wont pay that stupid high price. I bought mine at ft Gary in canada for a few hundred for both sides

    I'm going for the $475 Deep Space upgrade as soon as I feel like dropping 5 bills. I watched the videos. I'm convinced.
