My new hellas

[dmcgee]

I'm very happy with the way they came out.
I still need to wire them up and aim them, but that will come later.

[quinn_volvo]

very cool.

now paint the covers to say "VOLVO"... or not. looks good.

[DoubleV]

very cool.

:rofl: Stick with the "or not."

Looks bitchin'... I really like how those lights look on 240s.

[jfs356]

Looks great, I love those big lamps. Very cool...

[volvo]

Bad Ass!!!!!!

[AutomotiveFever]

I probably would have mounted them like this

But I do like the way you mounted them, looks hot with those lights!!!

[samyboy]

very nice, just purchesd a cheap set of lamps for the fiesta there wired through a volvo relay :-P

:note: the rather large drill required to drill the volvo bumper :-D

i thought about it, but couldnt find a practical way to do it. If I would have mounted them under, they would have hung down way too low.

[Vercetti]

Those are hella cool...heh

[volvogeek]

Those look GREAT! I'm gonna have to get me a set... Luckily my bumper is already drilled. Maybe luckily...have to check to see if the holes are square, since the lights that were installed were removed before I bought the car.

*goes in search for a set*

[Dahlis]

They need to be bigger and four of them.

[Zeeall]

[ZyreX]

I placed mine like this;

That's Hella Rallye 3000, Biatches.. 500 is way too small for norway ;)

[MikeHardy]

How do you find the light difference? Are they wired up to your main beams (high beams) or by switch on dash?

[ZyreX]

Yes..But in Texas we require a functional radiator :-P :-P
hehehe.. The radiator is functional too ;)

[KLowD9x]

hehehe.. The radiator is functional too ;)

Yeah, but in TX, when it gets about 105, you need ALL the flow you can get! lol

[ZyreX]

Yeah, but in TX, when it gets about 105, you need ALL the flow you can get! lol
hehe, yeah, agree ;)
it was like 96 here in norway some weeks ago.. my volvo got a little warm then ;) but no biggies.. was like 80% of the scale..

[KLowD9x]

AHH! Anything over half (where it should be) is too much for me :-P

[ZyreX]

AHH! Anything over half (where it should be) is too much for me :-P
Well, it's kinda cold here the year around, so I can live with 2 weeks where it goes to 80% approx :P

but, I liked noz-e8tr's setup :)

[own6volvos]

[dmcgee]

ha, im glad this thread is back. I need help with wiring. I have wired them up just like the diagram says, with the exception that the switch is powered by a constant 12v instead of by the highbeams, but every time I turn them on, the 15 amp fuse between the relay and the battery blows. I cant figure out what I am doing wrong.

[ZyreX]

Hmm.. I didn't have a diagram.. You're using a relay?
I'll see if I can find one, but I doubt it..

[dmcgee]

Yeah, I am using the relay that came with the lights.
I can post the diagram, if it helps

I might have figured it out, will let you know tommorrow

[dmcgee]

Tried a new switch today, still blows the fuse everytime. I am wondering if the relay is bad. Any imput would be helpful.

[CoconutColin]

I want to put the audi a4 fogs..

[dmcgee]

I got them working, The wiring diagram had the ground an the hot wire for the lights backwards.
