V60 strip lights by the grille
Now this might seem like a stupid question, so please forgive me!
I've just acquired a V60 Lux D4 SE Lux Nav, I've noticed that it has what look like led strip lights either side of the grille. My question is, how do you get them to work? There's nothing in the manual about them and I've found nothing on this forum. My assumption is that they are not used as the bi-xenons act as day running lights so these strip lights are just for show. If someone could clarify this I'd appreciate it as it's bugging me lol, sad I know but that's me Thanks, Martyn |

I think they are parking lights but they are on when ignition is on.They are hard to see in daylight so if you can't see them turn ignition off and look you will see the difference.

I forgot to mention about turning the switch to parking mode.

Their use is a bit vague. I think they are described as 'position or marker' lamps, as said by Mike, but in all honesty I think they are for decoration and the headlight unit covers the actual lighting functions, as they are not that bright. I can't remember what settings they should come on with, but they definitely should light up.
Without checking, I can't remember when they come on exactly, but I think they come on with the rest of the lights. If they aren't working in any configuration, check you don't have a blown side marker bulb as apparently this disables the LEDs. See: https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=215772 |

Thanks for the replies, I've just been out to the car and the parking/position lights are amber/orange led in the headlights.
Maybe I didn't clarify myself properly, the lights I refer to are either side of the grille, between the grille and headlights. Two strip led's per light running up almost vertically in the position already mentioned. It's bugging me so much lol. Anymore ideas/answers gratefully accepted before I go mad . Martyn |

S1050331.jpg S1050325.jpg As I mentioned before the 'strip' lights are Park/Positon Lamps. In the piccie the dipped beams are on and the engine is running so the lights you refer to are dimmed down. Not sure if your headlight arrangement is the same but the orange strip at the top of the main unit was called side marker lights in Volvo speak, the rear lights also had a small section which would show the side profile of the car in the dark.

I'm talking about these ones: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153048784421 As per my previous post, if they aren't lighting up under any circumstance, I would refer you back to my previous thread link, for possibly some help diagnosing them. Last edited by Rocinante; Nov 24th, 2021 at 12:04. |
