Hey guys,
As you may know we just picked up a 2005 XC90 AWD "Package transporter" and we couldn't be more excited.

We ordered an HID kit for it but it turns out that the dealer in Illinois was mistaken - the car already had bixenons upon arrival... so on to the next mod...

As you see here, the XC90's have a big problem with "Egg Yolk" - look at that nasty orange bulb!



Well, we had just the solution - our LED turn signal kit in OEM Amber (this car has to be street legal... wouldn't want to get pulled over when rushing to get your orders on the 6:30 truck!)... Here are the results

Ours vs. normal (using the flash to really illuminate inside the housings)



Pretty noticeable, no? Here's another shot:



Much better... how about a closeup



Clean as a whistle. And now, they blink on and off sharp, like OEM LED Tail Lights on the new M3's. Pretty slick. I have a video for anyone who wants to see. I can email it.

Anyways, can't wait to do more mods on this thing!
Thanks for lookin!

while i'm not a fan of the xc90's, or volvo in general congrats. Just don't add anything stupid like a 3ft wing on the roof and you'll be okay.

And the tail lights look pretty good,

Thanks bud

How much did the bulbs run you? I just might need to do that to my new ride also Looking good by the way. Got any pics of it at night?

 

i want an s60r

 

I myself like those volvo suvs I think theyre sweet. Good luck with it and the mods... Keep the pics coming....

 

The bulbs are normally $40 a set (with load EQ's, lifetime warranty, instructions, taps, etc), but right now they're only $30 at www.jlevisw.com (My Site)



Thanks!
JL

 

Excellent.

If I were to get an SUV for non-off road purposes the XC90 would be on a short list.

 

I guy I work with had one. The front tires always rubbed. Among other things it eventually ____ed him off. Always had various little problems with it. He traded it in for a G35. Before the S60R he had an Audi S4.

 

yum g35. that ios my dream car. it is equivelent to sex.

 

you need to get away from the computer and out in the world for a bit...

 

I was thinking the same thing - sure it's a nice car, but if I'm going to dream I might as well own a Bugatti Veyron
JL

 

yeah a bugatti. have fun is you ever scratch it. i'm out in the real world all the time. g35 is awesome. practical , stylish , comfortable , good on gas , reliable. so yeah . oh and RWD.

 

NO Im agreeing with you on the G35 it an awesome car theres no doubt Im just laugh at how you compared it to sex.. I dont think they are anywhere on the same page but I did think it was funny...

 

Do you have any more pictures of you xc90?

Cya

 

Not any good ones, but I'll take some soon

Btw, for a practical dream car i'd get a 996TT (Porsche) and probably do a full techart conversion.

JL

 

Alright cool.

Practical dream car for me would be an STi wagon. But, for more practical purposes, i could deal with a regular STi.

Cya

 

I don't think an STI wagon is available in the US.

I'd be happy with a lightly modded Forester XT sitting on some STI springs/struts personally. Perfect sleeper.

 

I dont think i said it was.

Cya

 

Relax.
