Headlight repair or exchange?

**Island Cruiser** · 09-16-2014, 05:42 PM

My 2006 XC70 has condensation in the passenger side headlight and is covered in orange stain inside (rust I suspect?) can I repair this?

I have access to two free front headlights from a 2004 V-70 that are a different type so I think I would have to change both which looks to be a fair bit of work and I am not sure if I can exchange them or not?

I would prefer to repair the existing if possible, any suggestions?

I would take a look at Erie VoVo and see what a clean used one costs. They have a lifetime guarantee on used parts.

Can't exchange with a glass light and can't repair if it's on the inside of a plastic light
Buy a new or used 05-07 light

You can exchange with the glass lights if you change the wiring. Heres a link to the thread on Swedespeed of someone going from glass to plastic headlights, you would have to follow the reverse but it is definitely possible. I would personally recommend the glass as it is durable and is very resistant to rock chips.
