HID/xenon headlight glass lens and bulb replacement

mcoontasha · 2025-09-22T17:44:16-0400

I have spent 3 days (indulgent) learning that stock 2006 V70 R headlights have an HID reflector, an Apollo shroud, and a glass lens compatible with the wipers. I just need the glass lens. Has anyone found a glass lens replacement for the left-hand (USA driver side) that will fit the R and is US DOT standard?

If I resign myself to buying a whole assembly just for the lens (E-bay for exmple) all the online offerings seem to be from damaged cars, so the necessary CLIPS AND MOUNTING POSTS are usually broken. My assembly has a cracked glass, but perfect mounting clips, etc. Has anyone ever used an S60, S60 R, or a V70 assembly to fit in the V70 R? AI says they are all the same size for USA 2005-2007 regardless of the HID, PID, or Halogen.

With the wide selection of xenon D2R 35 watt bulbs (Osram, Philips, Sylvania, etc.) we can pick any kelvin color we want for our P2.
Do any of you have preferences for these companies? Tariffs are eating our wallets. Cheers!

The 2003-2004 V70 and S60 xenons are the same headlights as R. Only color of the cowl is different.

Take the glass from one of those. It's easy to remove.

I may have a source for this.

New ones? I haven't been able to find anyone selling anything but the passenger side. And that's limited stock.

Crazy expensive! Would be cool to have though. Be careful - this clearly says right side and shows driver's side, despite the yellow banner saying right is from INSIDE the vehicle facing forward not LOOKING at the car.

I think Skandix are the only ones who still have any in stock. They only have the passenger side as well.

I wonder if this is in stock with IPD, or dropshipped from Skandix

The left side is discontinued. Skandix drop ships?

$229 is about 150 more than what Volvo asked for them a couple or years ago.

I have these part of a spare set, so that I have a second complete spare NOS front end for my 4T5.

Luckily I got them when the time was right, but regardless look for the 03-04 "normal" xenons and fetch them whenever available. They're gonna come in handy some day.

I think for lenses, our best bet is to beg VParts to ship to the US:

Or maybe IPD, FCP or ViVA could get some partnership with them. Who knows.
