New Headlights and Seats Swapped…yeah!

Posted by hotcrowd on March 14, 2010

This past week I finally installed new headlights and swapped the driver/passenger seats.

The headlights are a great improvement over the old. They also have upgraded 9004 halogen bulbs, Sylvania Extras. Just need to fine adjust the aim of each side.

I swapped the seats to have better support on the driver side and adjustable lumbar support. Woo hoo! It was a tight fit but it works. I reworked the wires, springs and foam while the seats were out. Also added reinforcement pressboard underneath. Much more comfy. The passenger side seat now has front and rear height adjustment but no lumbar. It would be great if there were an adjustable seat belt height adjuster on the door pillars and maybe adjustable seat clip receptacles. Yeah, the small cubby in the center console e-brake area is blue, should be black. I’ll either paint it to match or buy a new one on e-bay or one of many volvo owners forums.
