Hello D24t users! today im looking for US headlights for both volvo 700 series and 240,
if you have a set please hit me up with a PM with pictures and what you would like to have for it.

parts have to be shipped to sweden.


btw i new to 200 series and i just got a volvo 245 turbo with GLT hood and sides.
Idk if there's different US headlights for that front other then regular 200 hoods etc.

There`s Eb@Y seller nicknamed `philski-one`, he`s selling both setups for a crazy lot of money. (=trying to sell) :)

I bought the wagon with old cracked lenses, signals,corners but including a nice condition `eggcrate grill`(black). When I switched to the chrome (`waterfall`) grill, brickers around me said `OMG,so nice, now it looks better!` I was happy with how it looked: chrome bezels w chrome grill,volvo emblem,td sign etc.

Then hit the lottery:) and replaced EVERYTHING with new units: both front corners, both usa signals, 4 headlight Extravision sealed beams etc, and I was told `Hey, looks awesome but could you just paint that chrome BLACK?? to make it perfect looking?`
WTF?! I decided to also dip headlight chrome bezels black + added back the Eggrate (black) grill.
Now bricker friends say `Hey, it looks cool but you basically RAPED your vintage car...`
I said to myself, `Oh thanks. Damn it, whatever they say it does look mean, therefore it stays!:)` so I added very strong LED fogs too. Let it be rape then. You decide what to say now.:)

Another sale was ended last week on eb@y, a guy was selling an entire (USA,240brick) front assembly with all headlight parts plus an eggcrate type 240 grille plus trim pieces, asking $300 for all, in nice cond.I`m 110% sure you`ll find them for much cheaper, so keep your eyeballs stuck on the monitor every night. Good luck!
PS. my high quality sealed beams cost me $16each,signal unit $21 or so,corners around 24?,bosch fogs are also common,chrome bezels are available often on e.Bay or CL for around $25each so dont panic a lot if lenses happen to be cracked OR MISSING.:) High shipping costs often kill big deals.
I`ve seen the b(l)ack frame in junkyards often (usually not taken), I`ll try to grab 2 if seen again.

It`s such a shame this brick owner recently decided to part this Running rarity. Look: http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/pts/4748261750.html

I prefer the blackout look. Badges, not so much.

I have an 84.5 245 D24 with the dual rectangular headlight setup. I will be parting the front end out at some point if you are interested...
