Headlight Hinge Help!

Everything that doesn't belong in the previous categories probably belongs here. Interiour (how are the seats mounted? how to remove the CEM?) and exteriour (how to replace the popup-lights shock absorbers or a door) are discussed here!

Headlight Hinge Help!

Post by jencraig12 » Tue Apr 23, 2013 10:27 pm

Hello,

Wondering if someone out there can help me. I'm still fairly new to the Volvo 480, having bought a 480 Celebration in November.

A couple of days ago the one of the hinges, maybe both, snapped from the passenger side headlight :( does anyone know of somewhere I could source spares?

Any advice on fixing it would be great too!

Cheers!

You can buy them new here - CLICK ME!

Or, just ask people that are breaking them, or of course GlasgowJim might have some ;)
