Volvo headlights

[kryten]

When my local Volvo dealer first received the LED headlight assemblies they were charging $950 cdn each. After barely tolerating the stock lights last fall I went into my dealer fully intending to walk out with 2 new LED light assemblies. The only small wrinkle was the price had gone up just a wee bit. Grote lights were $1400 each and the Volvo lights were $1600 each. Obviously they want them more than I do.

Getting back to my new set up, after a bit of tweaking with the aim I have now spent several hours in the dark and can report the new light assembly makes a huge difference. The bulbs I have in the low beam side are cree LED H11 replacements rated at 1200 lumens with a color of 6500k. I have not been flashed in the two nights and can actually see both sides of the road for the first time in a couple of years.

The one thing that has taken a bit of getting used to is adjusting to the difference in the color between the LEDs and the high beam halogen.
