And what are these Day running lights?
As far as i know these are additional lamps in the front ? Or the parking lights, in older cars for little money.
anyone can help me (best with a pic)?

The indicator cluster consists of two parts: the direction indicator and positioning lights.
Volvo delivered two versions:
1) with simple 5W positioning light
2) with 21W/4W day running lights / positioning lights
The day running lights may be used during daylight. It removes the need to raise your popups during the day.

i'm very happy with the news that soon the clear sidemarkers will be made. on the dutch forum we have made a list for parts and 12 or 13 people already want to buy them.

has anyone got any news on this? I broke the plastic on one of my day-lights at the front, and would love to mount new lights with clear indicators.
if this guy is not selling them anymore, any ideas where i could get new front-light components?
(have checked ebay to no avail)
thanks

I dont know of anyone who sells them seperately, but if worst comes to the worst, you can buy the whole cluster from Volvo for £35 a side (rough price-depends on the dealership you go to!)

I'm still after some clear front wing blinkers and the minging orange things on the rear quarter panel swapping for the clear ones. I tried getting hold of this chap to see if he had anymore but to no avail. Does anyone know where to get hold of him? New email address?
Thanks
Owen

Six months ago, i studied the possibility to make some really clear sidemarkers.
Today i'm proud to show you the result
They are resilient and clear.
I sell them 20€ in France where I live.
I will ask for postage cost to UK next week.
If interested, please contact me at: paul [AT] chabardes.net
Rear ones will be make in a second time.
Edit: I hope Williewammes won't blame me selling these sidemarkers. As he wasn't posting anymore I though he let down his production.

quick question, how do the rear one remove from the car? been puzzling me

u can just get em off with a thick screwdriver best.
or you leave them on the car and just get off the orange reflector, and switch it with the clear ones then, if u have no spare pair.

Okay,
He is back and so is his 480. Brand new paint and a new rear fender.
I'm sorry for not replying on the questions.
Anyway, the next weeks I will be busy rebuilding my 480. After thay I hope to start on the light clusters again. I'm affraid I will only be making the small sidemarkers rear and the small blinkers in the front fender. The other ones are hard to get right. It will take too much time and materials.
As soon as I start you guys will hear.
Regards,
Wiljen
almost 1,5 year later en still nog clear sidemarkers from williewammes.
i will try to post it as much i can, so you will have enough customers.
