Sorry I dont understand what part you are looking for ?

I think he is looking for the black plastic inserts in the pop-up headlights next to the glass lens?

[glasgowjim]

If thats the case I can supply the parts.

[DanDCowan]

Thanks for replying everyone, the part im after is the clear plastic for the indicator cluster at the front, not the pop up lights, nor the driving light, or the indicator lens its the one between the indicators and the glass driving lights, i cant post pictures because im a noob

[eye of ra]

Think you are after the day running lights which is clear and plastic. However it’s a single unit with the indicator. Is this what you are after? http://www.volvo-480-europe.org/forum/v ... =8&t=16122

yes thats the ones thank you, i say im only after the plastic because the indicator part of the clusters are fine, id rather repair the ones i have then buy another whole unit and throw the ones i have away

[eye of ra]

The day running light part is always the part that goes, it’s the constant bright light which fades the plastic but it is a single unit with the indicator so can’t be replaced on its own.

Same problem here, my DRL lenses are seriously yellowed/deteriorated and it seems a waste to buy whole new units.
New ones could be easily silicon-ed on, if they were available separately
I emailed that Dutch guy, who was planning to make various replica bits, but he never replied.

[DanDCowan]

I managed to separate the drivers side indicator part of the cluster that came up really well as i could clean inside and out, but now in contrast with the drl it looks awful, sure this couldnt be has to replicate, i would love some glass ones, might have to look in to glass manufacturers see if they can knock a couple up

[Volvo480lover]

Just buy new from the dealer...

[eye of ra]

As stated get some new ones and if you don’t want it to happen again you could get LEDs to replace the bulb in the DRL.

I got lucky and previous owner had new lights fitted not long ago. Thinking of getting some of these soon before they start fading.
