You will either have to buy a new unit from Volvo, or get lucky through a scrappy or forum member...

is it the older orange type and what side do you need?
also, where do you live?

You could even get the wrong version and gently cut loose the lense and glue it on your damaged unit.

Its the drivers side (on the UK cars that is) but i'll probably be wanting a pair so I can get the clear indicator lenses too... although a standard one would do for the time being. Im from the isle of man so I don't have access to many of the big shops or anything either!

If anyone can help i'd be very grateful as i passed my test a year ago now (handy manx laws let you drive at 16!) and i've finally got my first 480, a lovely Paris Blue 1992/3 ES and im in love (with the car that is!)! Problem is the lady that had the car before me had MS, and so the bumpers are all scraped and lights cracked and all sorts, spent over 20 hours this month polishing out hairline scratches

great do you have a pic of it by any chance? How much would you want for it also?

also whilst looking at your signature I noticed your 480 has remote C/L, approx how much does one of those cost? I've been looking for one for ages! Saves fiddling round in the dark trying to find the keyhole!

Hi!

There is a clear one for sale on Ebay UK now.

Good Luck!

no pics just yet but yours for a fiver if you want it!

C/L was a bit more complex, kit was Â£40 6 years ago but it took a while to install it! if you live anywhere near me i would do it for you, if not, i hope to do a write up soon! just as soon as i install Roo's c/l remote start kit!

That is definitely somthing we are going to have to plan soon!

that would be ace, well all i need to know is whether it's as new, or if its slightly fogged up like the one's on ebay (but thanks anyway catgroom!!) Also how do you want me to pay for it? Cash/cheque or any other means?

thanks again! thats a good price for the remote c/l also, but unfortunately i live nowhere near! might look into that though!

Cheers!

oops, i was ratarsed when i wrote that and didnt remember posting!!

i will get a pic for you pronto!

thanks, greatly appriciated!

Also, which bilstein shocks are the best to go for? been on the website and can't download the catalogue as connection is too slow. Im looking to lower the car by around 20-30mm also, so which springs should i use too? Approx how much would all that cost?

(P.s what was the name of the remote c/l you used on your 480?)

Sorry theres so many questions, but im a newbie, and haven't had all the experience you guys have had! Sorry!

Try www.eurocarparts.co.uk P/N 473660250 for left - P/N 473660260 for right and they're 34 pounds sterling each.

I haven't seen a picture or ordered yet but I believe someone mentioned they bought them and had to make a slight adjustment to the socket...

yeah, you'll need to use the original bulb holder, buy some orange bulbs that fit that, and then file a lug off the original holder so it fits in the cluster.
won't take five minutes.
