Sorry man, one day we had roll down windows only, now there’s ac. It’s called progress. But if you want to destroy your great vision driving at night with stock Volvo halogens, feel free to.

You have to keep your headlights cleaned & buffed to keep them from yellowing. Every few years, especially if you see moisture on the inside of housing, just pick up a brand new set of factory lights! That’s all you have to do. You can’t just say “Well these lights are 15 years old and just suck so I better buy whatever lights NASA used during the moon landing! C’mon now drivers....Last edited: Feb 23, 2019

Some of y’all blind seat-occupiers look like you’re trying to land a commercial f***’n airplane for Christ sakes! It’s just ridiculous....Snailexpress and flood Thank this. -
It's a internal Design flaw, no amount of buffing will fix.
Deep space lighting has this issue will documented and the reason for the retrofits to put better quality projectors in them at a minimum.
I've also had the OEM halogen, buffed, tried bulbs , etc.. They are complete junk unless you get a better projector that doesn't have the reflector burn off problem.
Best yet, the redesigned led headlights Totally eliminate the problem that's why the old design halogens are obsolete now.Snailexpress and flood Thank this. -
Yes seeing better without blinding people is possible, just as blinding people with piss poor halogens was possible tooSnailexpress and flood Thank this. -
So I bought these a little over a year ago
Volvo VNL LED Projector Headlights
Item Number: 287296
from I80. They are cheaply made and broke already. Now the lights just hang inside and bounce around. Gonna have to figure out if I can make a new way to mount the LEDs now. Anyone else have this problem? -
OEM LED headlights can't be beat for quality and no glaringSocal Xpress and Siinman Thank this. -
I’m going on a year with my Deep Space upgrade. I thought the price was high at first but they have held up great. I have not replaced a bulb yet.
If I did it over again I might go OEM LED but it’s more $$$ and these are amazing compared to stock.
In other news, I know this thread is a year old but I think there are only 2 people on the planet that think OEM Volvo halogens are decent, trucker2211 above and the idiot at Volvo that signed off on that mess. -
Have had mine installed for 4 years now. They work fine, no issues at all. Even bought the fog lamps as well. Easy to install and just have volvo reprogram for the new lights.
