You've spent the day cleaning, waxing and detailing your car but somehow it still doesn't feel like it shows the love and caring that you give it. Old, yellowed or broken lenses are no fun to look at and don't do very well at keeping things properly illuminated either. Fresh lenses can really add that finishing sparkle to your Volvo. Better visibility (for both you and other cars on the road!) also keeps you safer in the dark especially in inclement weather conditions.

IPD has a full line of replacement lenses for your Volvo. In many cases we offer both the Volvo OEM replacement parts and also more economically minded aftermarket produced options. For full listings please visit the lighting section of our website in each model designation.

If you’re still using regular sealed beam headlamps you’re driving in the dark! Hella halogen headlamp replacements can really shine some light on safer night-time driving. These state-of-the-art lamps utilize laser tested optics to far outshine ordinary lamps while reducing glare both to you and oncoming traffic.

In the lab, on the race track and on the road, these outstanding lamps have proven their worth over and over. They’re made to the most exacting specifications using only top quality materials and the latest technology. Metal stamped (not molded) reflectors, fine lead crystal lenses, and halogen bulbs in heat compensating holders.

If you drive at night, you know that most hazards pop up unexpectedly from the sides of the road. Hella halogen lamps give you the edge in avoiding trouble with vastly improved light distribution straight ahead and to the sides. The difference is amazing, and in some situations, critical.

If your 200 series, with the plastic headlamps , has yellowed or fogged appearance lenses, this kit will do a great job of restoring clarity.

PIAA bulbs combine Xtreme technology with a high power XTRA halogen bulb for increased performance. This allows the bulb to emit a beam of light that is whiter and brighter than standard bulbs of the same style while using less amperage. PIAA Xtreme bulbs approach the brightness and intensity of High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps at a fraction of the cost.

These bulbs project a nice sharp beam in a cool white / blue hue that reduces eye-strain and improves contrast. They are SAE and DOT certified, and have a 1 year replacement warranty against defects.

Different situations call for different solutions. Halogen Back-up Bulbs - When you’re backing up on a pitch black night, especially in rain or snow, our halogen back-up bulbs provide 300% more light than your original back-up lights provide. Just replace your stock bulbs with these small 35 watt halogen bulbs, and you’ll be shedding over 100 candle power of light, much brighter than your stock incandescent bulbs. Fits all models that take the #1073 or #1156 bulb.

Back-up Alert Bulbs - There’s a very good reason garbage trucks, public utility vehicles and construction equipment all beep when backing up...safety. Back-Up Alert is a bright halogen bulb with a small beeper that fits in the reverse light socket of your Volvo. Changing the bulb is all you do to install. Featured in a leading consumer magazine, Back-Up Alert is one of those little things that could make a big difference in your life. (Only 1 required).

Stealth Bulbs are the best concealment bulbs on the market; invisible in clear lenses when off and bright amber when on. They eliminate the "egg-yolk" effect from the front, side or rear turn signal lenses of your vehicle. Stealth Bulbs create a clean integrated look that will set your Volvo apart from the crowd! The exclusive chrome finish provides the ultimate in stealth appearance compare to the competitions painted silver bulbs. Every Stealth bulb is Made In The USA and backed with an unparalleled lifetime guarantee. High quality long life bulbs and proprietary metallic coatings applied by a world renowned NASA contractor provide years of world class performance.

Adding visibility to your Volvo is easy with original European Volvo turn signal indicators. The mounting hole is already stamped into the fender so there is no drilling required. All you have to do is remove the Volvo emblem and adhesive on the fender and you'll find the odd shaped hole that was originally intended to accept these nifty European turn signal indicators. Very simple two-wire hookup using the wiring kit below. Come with amber bulbs. Detailed instructions are included. European Side marker kits look great, upgrading the appearance of your Volvo and a Volvo safety study reports that side markers can also improve the likelihood that other drivers will see your intention to turn by up to 60%!

Assembled with original Volvo water-tight components to ensure factory fit and finish.
