Hey guys,
As you may know we just picked up a 2005 XC90 AWD "Package transporter" and we couldn't be more excited.

We ordered an HID kit for it but it turns out that the dealer in Illinois was mistaken - the car already had bixenons upon arrival... so on to the next mod...

As you see here, the XC90's have a big problem with "Egg Yolk" - look at that nasty orange bulb!



Well, we had just the solution - our LED turn signal kit in OEM Amber (this car has to be street legal... wouldn't want to get pulled over when rushing to get your orders on the 6:30 truck!)... Here are the results

Ours vs. normal (using the flash to really illuminate inside the housings)



Pretty noticeable, no? Here's another shot:



Much better... how about a closeup



Clean as a whistle. And now, they blink on and off sharp, like OEM LED Tail Lights on the new M3's. Pretty slick. I have a video for anyone who wants to see. I can email it.

Anyways, can't wait to do more mods on this thing!
Thanks for lookin!

while i'm not a fan of the xc90's, or volvo in general congrats. Just don't add anything stupid like a 3ft wing on the roof and you'll be okay.

And the tail lights look pretty good,

How much did the bulbs run you? I just might need to do that to my new ride also Looking good by the way. Got any pics of it at night?

I myself like those volvo suvs I think theyre sweet. Good luck with it and the mods... Keep the pics coming....

Jlevi

The bulbs are normally $40 a set (with load EQ's, lifetime warranty, instructions, taps, etc), but right now they're only $30 at www.jlevisw.com (My Site)



Thanks!

Excellent.

If I were to get an SUV for non-off road purposes the XC90 would be on a short list.

I guy I work with had one. The front tires always rubbed. Among other things it eventually ____ed him off. Always had various little problems with it. He traded it in for a G35. Before the S60R he had an Audi S4.

hotbox05

yum g35. that ios my dream car. it is equivelent to sex.

Da_Mac

you need to get away from the computer and out in the world for a bit...

Jlevi

I was thinking the same thing - sure it's a nice car, but if I'm going to dream I might as well own a Bugatti Veyron
JL

hotbox05

yeah a bugatti. have fun is you ever scratch it. i'm out in the real world all the time. g35 is awesome. practical , stylish , comfortable , good on gas , reliable. so yeah . oh and RWD.

Da_Mac

NO Im agreeing with you on the G35 it an awesome car theres no doubt Im just laugh at how you compared it to sex.. I dont think they are anywhere on the same page but I did think it was funny...

killerxromances

Do you have any more pictures of you xc90?

Cya

Jlevi

Not any good ones, but I'll take some soon

Btw, for a practical dream car i'd get a 996TT (Porsche) and probably do a full techart conversion.

JL

Alright cool.

Practical dream car for me would be an STi wagon. But, for more practical purposes, i could deal with a regular STi.

Cya

Biznox

I don't think an STI wagon is available in the US.

I'd be happy with a lightly modded Forester XT sitting on some STI springs/struts personally. Perfect sleeper.

killerxromances

I dont think i said it was.

Relax.
