Replacing headlight covers on S70

Aug 10, 2004 2 Replies

Both the headlight covers of my 2000 Volvo S70 are cracked. Actually, one has a small hole which I've filled with clear nail polish. The other took a stone near the top and that sent a crack into the face of the cover. Neither seem to be taking water or interfering with the lights, but sooner or later I'll need to replace the covers.



Is it possible to buy and replace just the glass covers, or do the entire headlight assemblies need to be replaced. I suspect the latter is the standard sales approach of Volvo dealers, but I'm wondering if replacing the entire assembly is really necessary.


DOT regulations prevent the lens from being sold separately, so they're not available from the dealers. However there are several aftermarket suppliers who do supply them. Check out all the usual online vendors.

light assembly is expensive, but call your insurance agent my replacement situation was covered after deductable
