THOSE ARE ALL AFTERMARKET GRILLS, THERE IS ONLY ONE OE VERSION 850 GRILL. SOME FOLKS MAKE THEIR OWN, OR YOU CAN PURCHASE THROUGH DIFFERENT VENDORS.


BY THE WAY, YOU SHOULD TURN THE MUSIC DOWN SO WE CAN STOP YELLING.

SADLY IPD NO LONGER SELLS THEIR ORIGINAL MESH GRILLE. IN MY OPINION IT WAS THE BEST LOOKING GRILLE MADE FOR OUR CARS. MAYBE I'M PARTIAL TO IT BECAUSE I OWN ONE

AS SHOWN HERE



AND HERE



AND HERE TOO WHILE I WAS RUNNING TRITONS FOR A BIT



OH AND HERE YOU CAN SEE RYANS EGG CRATE GRILLE WITH THE NEWER EMBLUM TOO, I LIKE MY BLACK EMBLUM BECAUSE IT GOES WITH MY BLACK CAR



AND HERE IT IS WITH 16'IN S70 WHEELS I RESPRAYED, STILL HAVE THESE TOO, NOT SURE WHY, BUT I HAVE A LOT OF STUFF I DON'T NEED ANY MORE, MAYBE I'LL HAVE A VOLVO YARD SALE SOME TIME



AND HERES MY FAVORITE PIC OF THE GRILLE, IT ALSO SHOWS OFF THE FOG LIGHT RELAY MOD



WHATEVER YOU DO NEVER MAKE A GRILLE LIKE THIS, ITS HORRIBLE




I HOPE THAT HELPS

He is right the old mesh ipd is the best quality and cleanest looking... but mine is right there with it...

ipd eggcrate grill black with chrome trim, re-used black 850 oem slash, and a newer style adhesive R in the bottem right...






dont put the R on though if you dont have one and dont put it this awkwardly in the bottem right...

FIRST OFF!!! NICE CAR!!! I wish mine would shine like that. maybe it will after I get it painted to fix all the fading and cracking thanks to florida.
2nd off. Where did you get the info for your fog light mod. I would love to run it from the fog light switch that doesnt seam to do anything other then light up a light on my dash.


I HOPE THAT HELPS

[ryan850-t5]

maybe your flipping the wrong fog light switch. There are front AND rear foglights. just givin you a heads up.

also mesoam your car looks sick with tritons. I can't tell if i like those or the volans better.

I have the switch, when I push it, the light comes on the dash telling me its on.
It is in the rear driver cluster. IDK why it is but thats where it is. *volvo is odd sometimes* What I would LOVE to do is re wire it to possibly some aftermarket fog lights later on. *seeing as how that foglight in the back doesnt seem to work*

rear fogs indicate via the cluster, it's just the second fillament in one bulb in a red reflector on the driver's side (you can jump the pins on the pass side if you want two) and if someone put the wrong bulb in it won't make a difference if you hit that switch. They basically make it look like you ahve a brake light(s) on, and in fog or snow it makes your car MUCH easier to see from behind. Volvo discovered that having just one is more noticable.

Front fogs have an "on" indicator in the switch, you'll need a switch and the correct LCU and jumper, but then you could run any fogs you want using stock harness (if you're pre-wired).
