Thanks. Thats a shame. I managed to open up the original one by taking the main plastic over off, then lifting 4 little clips which then revealed the lens cover and then the actual LED which could just me lifted out of the housing. I have found a company who have said if I send them the actual LED part (with the 3 prongs on), they will replicate it but just do it at 6000k instead of the dull standard! |

Modifying the ebay units is not such a big problem. It's just annoying having to do it on what is supposed to be a direct replacement.
You need some miniature files for elongating the holes for the connector. Here's what needs to be done. https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/attac...1&d=1616794112 |

Anyone thinking of doing this the Volvo part numbers you need are as follows...
1 x 31403123 - (l/h door pocket light) 1 x 31403124 - (r/h door pocket light) 2 x 1286317 - (door bottom/sill plate lights) Here is a video I found showing door card removal... https://youtu.be/5wyOKlB_RqY |
I did the door pocket lights and sill/ground lights yesterday with genuine Volvo parts. I can also confirm that the wiring was all present and the lights work as soon as plugged in. This is on a late 2015 registered XC60.
I didn't bother dis-connecting the door handle cable - just popped the door card off and supported it on a box while I plugged everything in. A trim removal tool will make getting the door card off easier (I used a wooden spatula). It's crazy that Volvo scrimped these out of spec and just left holes in the doors. They must be taking their lead from Dacia these days. :confused_smile: |

Fitting ground lights 2017 xc60 d4 mk1

Until I stumbled across this thread, I didn't realise that ground lights were a thing.
I fitted some to the underside of my XC60 doors today. I chose cheap Chinese rip-offs from Amazon and am massively impressed (so far). I also exchanged the footwell lights and the boot light. The difference is amazing. When I opened the doors this evening, it was as though someone had turned the sun back on. Many thanks to b1mcp for the very informative posts. |
