XC70 replacement headlights

1981George · Oct 5th, 2022, 13:03

Hello,
I hope someone can help. I've got a 2004 LHD Volvo XC70 D5 from when I lived in France. I'm trying to re-register this with a UK registration now I've moved back to the UK. It needs to pass an MOT, it failed today due to the headlight pattern. This is a bit odd to me as before I bought the car it was a UK registered LHD car and passed 10 MOTs before I bought it and I've not changed the headlights.
Apparently some Volvos the headlights can be adjusted to drive on the other side of the road but not mine it appears.
So the simplest way forward seems to be getting some replacement RHD headlight assemblies. Given the age of the car I'd be looking for second hand original Volvo units.
Does anyone know the part codes?
Also are the headlights the same for the V70 as the XC70? To me they look identical but I'm not sure. There are a lot more V70s kicking around so I might have a better chance getting the lights.

It's a bumper off job to replace the lights. The garage have quoted me £140 for the labour, but it's something I might tackle myself.

Many thanks
George
