The LCM can be programmed so low beams stay on with high beams.

My Volvo lights, like all others were crap and I had to replace my assemblies. Even with stock bulbs the new lights may not be great but they are OK. When I phoned for a quote the parts guy screwed up and quoted me about $375 for the left side but when I went in the next day to pick it up they tried charging me $475. Fortunately the night guy had printed out the quote so they gave me the lower price. A few months later I saw some aftermarket ones at Fort Garry in Edmonton on sale for $275 (reg $325ish) so I picked up the right side which I just installed a couple weeks ago.

After 7 - 8 months the left side still has a decent output but then again I'm trying to use daytime running lights as much as possible and I rarely drive after 11:00 pm.

Do you actually have it programmed to keep the low beam on while on high beam. personally on your own truck? I ask because last time I looked into this, it was not possible and I am very familiar with vcads and the parameters in the Volo lcm to the point where I had to go into my local dealer and show their techs how to disable the low voltage warning systems.

The Volo lights suck because the silvering on the projector bowl flakes off and the housing lense's yellow real bad.

The bowl problem is why I went to the deep space retrofit. I also built a custom relay harness to keep my factory high beam slot working and disabled all voltage warning's.
