Already customized...changed out the clear running light bulbs to orange I'm really starting to think that I should get rid of my headlamp wipers to really smooth out the front end...what do you think?

Also, anyone have any recommendations for a very bright H1 bulb? I have Silverstars, but they are not that great. Yes, I am willing to pay the $$ for good bulbs. And I mean bulbs that are actually bright and light up the road, not just "look" like they are bright (i.e. Nokya bulbs).





Also got the darkened LED sidemarker lights (not hooked up yet)


My car and my brother's car (also with the new lights)


Showed up a little late to Swedish Car Day...not thatlate, but my brother and I were quite busy answering questions from the gallery and didn't get a chance to snap any pictures until the end.

If you really want to light up the road, get HIDs. Those look great, and I agree with the wipers thing if you can find some tasteful way to clog the holes it'd leave behind.

Looks great!

Ditch the wipers...
Get HID's...

Rock On....

Woah, somehow it looks Boxier and VERY unique - almost gives it some swedish flavor - I like it!!

anyone know of a place where I can get HID's for a good price? H1's for high and low beams...(maybe fog lights too - H3)...what happened to www.hids4less.com?

Does anyone know a part number for the trim piece where the headlamp washer comes out (for cars tha didn't have headlamp washers)? Can the metal rod that sticks out just be cut down with a dremel tool? Or does the entire motor actually need to come out?

Those jewel lights look awesome! Where did you get them? How do they throw light at night?

On the bulbs, have you tried PIAAs or JDMs?

If you want to remove the wipers, poke around your hardware store to see if you can find something to plug the holes that looks okay. When I removed the front license plate holder from my S70, I put the screws back into the holes and popped white plastic caps (Courtesy of Home Depot - $1.99) over the screw heads. (My S70 is white, but the caps can probably be painted) They're not flush (like backup sensors) but look better than holes.

We need for 70 series!!!!! Very nice!

I'll never give up my wipers...Montreal winters.

There was a link a long time ago to a swedish site...the wipers were taking off and instead of hiding the hole. The panel was cut in the middle (rectangular shape) and a black grilll was placed behind it. Looked good.

Will> did you completely remove the motor assembly for the wipers or just cut the metal rod that protrudes out?

[REVolution T5]

Whoa, your car looks so mean with those lights and almost like they're one piece. The only thing that bothers me is those LED city lights, they should make it a different pattern, i'd replace them with hyper bright white LED's. Too bad they don't make those lights for s70

Haha, darn right.

Woo hoo, got them put in today. They look amazing, waaaaaaay better in person. I'm just waiting on some different HID bulbs (I got the H1 euro version of these) and I'm good to go. Seriously guys, don't give it a second thought, just buy these. Very BMW-esque.
