Hi all.
This isn't my usual haunt but I'm trying to do a mate a favour.
I'm looking for a drivers side headlight for a '93 850 glt. It is the single bulb type, not the later one with the additional driving light. New would be great but as yet I've not found anyone who makes them except Volvo. (£400+!!)
If anyone knows of a company who sells these new or a trusted breakers who would sell me a decent 2nd hand one I'd be eternally greatful.
Thanks in advance,
Andy

How broken is the light? It may be possible to buy replacement glass lenses as the headlights are servicable

I haven't seen it but I get the impression the reflective silver has corroded. He has changed the bulb but the beam pattern is messy and not lighting the road like the near side does. He bought a used one from a local breakers and it's no better so asked me to try and find one.
