mine are a tad on the yellows side. I don't want to go to a junk yard cuz I doubt that they'll be any better. does anyone know where I can get decent one's? I have a 1987 240GL

The glass or the reflector?

I took mine to bits and cleaned the glass. But stupidly cleaned the reflector with water. This takes the relective coating off.

I think volvo may sell the reflector alone?

No, can't do that w/ these. Thats the curse of the 86 and later headlights. Two solutions, I've tried on my 87. Try using a polish on the outside, seems to be a temporary (about a month long) solution but it helps. IPD now offers though, a complete glass replacement that are BRIGHT for 450 bucks. Expensive, but cheaper than new plastic that will just fade again anyways.

yep, www.ipdusa.com

Yours are plastic, thats why they yellow'd the glass replacements will not only look better but will not fade.
