USA style headlights.

elijahlaz

Hi there I'm in need of the usa style headlights with the big buckets/refletors, as I want to put round headlights in there.It's probably gonna be hard to find but worth the shot.

From the pic I'm guessing these are to suit an '81-'93 240?

elijahlaz

Yeah that's correct.

You can use the stock European ones that come here for the same job. Or pre 81 rounds?

elijahlaz

The euro ones have a smaller reflector dont they? @vee_que

End goal

Nope, they mount into the exact same brackets. still a plastic reflector. The U.S used the 81 on headlights from 86 on. Just different lens. You should start a project thread on your car!

elijahlaz

Oh so if I find a 81 and on it'll have the correct bucket and reflector?
I was thinking about it but I've never done anything like that.

The round headlights look pretty. I should look for a set for my car.

elijahlaz

I've already ordered my headlights to go in I just need the bucket.

elijahlaz

Some nice Cibie 7" lamps are a good option , the STD ones being hard to get and 7 1/8 " or something...
I should sell my Cibies ....

elijahlaz

I'll have a look, I'm trying to do it cheap as I don't need the lease and I'll be painting the reflectors.

I'm in Mulgrave. Ill get photos this weekend. Ive offered them before for $20 each. You could probably sell the lens separately.

elijahlaz

Post a front shot of your car?

Cheers bud. You should make a thread for your car. It is always nice to read stories and see pictures of other Volvos.
