Here you can talk about the joy owning a Volvo 480 brings. Non-technical discussions take place here, like what is the difference between an ES and a S version.

Where are these lights that you have found???<br><br>my 480 and all i think in the uk have two Map reading lights just in front of the main interior light which is in the centre of the roof.<br><br>Are these what you are talking about????<br><br>Looking on the Net it seems that UK cars came with everything as standard whereas our cousins in europe had to pay extra for things like front fog lights and headlight wash.<br><br>Is this true??? <p></p><i></i>

I have never seen these in a 480 before. My mate had the exact same ones in his 440 though.<br><br>Maybe you could get them out of a 440.<br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br> <p></p><i></i>
