  1. Had the battery out of my mom's '04 C70 and the code I picked up at the dealership last year didn't work (never had to use it til now) Turns out the radio was a reconditioned unit. Called up the dealership, gave them all the info and they gave me the code for the radio. Let it sit for EXACTLY 2 hours and it turned from OFF to CODE. Works great now!

    Great writeup, wish people would look here first instead of posting new threads looking for info on why their radio doesn't work... If the first dealership you call won't give you the code, try others. You WILL find one that will do it over the phone.

  3. Smoked Turn signals are oem right? Also the Hid kit includes everything for plug and play application? What Kelvin are the bulbs. I know you said blue at "certain" angles.

    Thanks Oreo, that's alot of stuff to read... They are not OEM, but in my opinion the same quality if not better. And yes, they are 7000k bulbs.

  4. I made these custom projectors last fall by taking stock 850 headlights, gutting them, and implanting the heart of Honda CRX projectors bought off of eBay. I then bought plastic headlight lenses and defluted the area in front of the projector and polished it until clear. I bought the HID kit from Adrian on here with 7000k H3's. The corner lights are aftermarket clear lights smoked with VHT Nite Shades. The lenses have a clear plastic covers to protect them from stone chips and road debris.

    View from the rear with all the wiring. The light has Halo's and City Lights, but they kept blowing a fuse so I never hooked them up.

    The whole shebang

    Parts involved in building:

    Volvo 850 Headlights $200

    CRX Black Projectors $180

    HID Kit $220

    Corner Lights $60

    Plastic Lenses $100

    Lens Covers $40

    Total invested approx $800(god, that seems like alot...) plus about 20 hours of work

    HID's have been run for about 1500 miles, and have a great blue color to them at certain angles. It is amazing the amount of white light they put out and illuminate the road. The high beams have Silverstars in them.

    The drives side lens was broken in my accident in March, and has since been replaced with a brand new plastic lens. I have not defluted it yet, but can tell you how to easily do it.

    New lens. (has waterspots from wiping it off right before the pics)

    Asking price on these right now:

    HID Kit $150 plus shipping

    Smoked Corner Lights $45 plus shipping

    Projectors ($520 invested) $300 plus shipping

    It would be nice to sell this all as one, so my discounted price for that is 10% off the total which comes to right about $450.

    As always, all my stuff is OBO, so feel free to PM me. I get a discount on UPS shipping at work, so my prices for that are fairly reasonable.

  5. Seriously I'm gonna say this again. If ALL you care about is color save yourself the 300 bones and buy some 15 ricer blue bulbs.

    Spend the $285 you saved on some volvo racing seatbelt pads.

    I don't just care about color... I am seriously looking for a high output lighting source, as I live in BFE and really need to see what's going on in front of me. I have Silverstars in there now, but if I am going to throw the bones down for a lighting upgrade, I am going to get somehting that I think looks good and other people can tell I have...

  6. Not at all.  Purple = ricey tho... IMO..

    I don't really consider Audi's ricey, maybe on a Volvo though. I am debating on doing a projector retrofit, so just trying to gather info like a squirell foraging for a long winter.... :monkey:
