New headlight bulbs (near side had blown on start up this morning) and a new air freshener. Bought some more snow foam for the jet wash which I’ll test Olof to at the weekend weather permitting

They look great - nice result!

Questions if I may...
Was it a big job?
Where did you get the refurb units from/done?
Is there a noticeable difference to night vision?

Refurbish the units myself. Reflectors rechromed and new plastic lenses.
Know my way with this job. Did 20 pair of headlights already. Normal xenon and abl xenon. Only P2 platform…

If you succeed in getting one to work put the new battery outside the alarm box, suitably taped up and sealed, of course, so if it leaks again you've only got the battery to sort.

Just a LF headlight; an H11. The cheap Wagner bulbs I've been buying are averaging 20 months / 20,000 miles. I should buy Volvo ones next and compare.

Reclick the right wiper blade into position. All I can figure is that clearing snow away with a broom loosened it. It flung off yesterday.
