As for the HID kit, I'd get a 6000k 35w + error cancelers, and ground the ballasts directly to the chassis to avoid burning out the wiper motor. Quote:
You can fit any T10 LED diode in the parking lights position without fear of electrical problems, and any H7 55w halogen bulb as the main headlight... I had Osram Nightbreakers before, now I have Philips Night Guide type S. Btw., inappropriate bulbs don't cause real problems, all you'll get is a "bulb out" warning on the dash, nothing more.

Dave, personally speaking I would not buy them for a few reasons.
1..they do not tell you anything about the SMD chip type, look more like 1210's. 2..no reference to any lumen output rating, you have no idea how bright they are. 3..No actual picture of them illuminated at night. EBay is filled with appropriate LED's, go take a look. Consider how bright you really need them. If you have the DRL feature enabled and the headlight permanently on, do you need really bright side-lights? Having said that, no point in going too dim either. I have these: 180483629080 (ebay) |

DRL's are turned off via a software switch. You need to visit Volvo to have this done!
