Headlights Hella or OEM Volvo

Hella. Premium quality, OE supplier for many carmakers

I run the H4 conversions from HELLA and they have been great. A lot more light than the old sealed beams and retains the stock look unlike the dorky looking LEDs. I ran a relay harness so they get power direct from the battery.

Upgraded OEM style like hela. The og lights are effectively candles at this point.

I thought my '23 XC60 had good headlights, my '25 EX30's are significantly better! Pretty amazing.

2016 v60 xc stupid easy! Thought about upgrading to LED, but I'm not screwing up a good thing!

On the V40 its still very easy.

Clean Volvo headlights always cost money but Dealer replaced genuine parts are.. apparently 6k CAD.

The only issues I have had with my XC90 is headlight failure. Painfully expensive to replace but knock on wood that is the only issue beyond routine maintenance/wear and tear.

what you do is chuck these in the garbage and just buy hella h4 replaceable 7" round headlights (they are glass as well so it wont fade/uv cooked) and stick with those. these offbrand amazon/ebay/temu/aliexpress halo led headlights have such garbage light output and beam pattern that you'd be better off just strapping led pen lights to the front of your car.

These are not good lights 2025! Highbeam is way too narrow. On curvyroads you cant see where you are going. I was really dissapointed after my previous Mazda, which had adabtive and much wider highs.
