Hella 700FF Auxiliary lights installation on Volvo XC70. 

Same thing for me. In one way it's look easy and Yuri work so properly.

I Totally disagree with this all fashion, no function mind set.

Two more coming up! Thx

Thx!

Make a google search for "extraljus sweden" and you will not be dissapointed! 👌💥🏎 / Your friendly neighborhood swede

@@adammm142 i was not dissapointed, thank you! Unfortunately they are also not street legal here in Portugal.

Het is zeker wel legaal hier, Totaal aantal grootlicht mag 4x zijn. dus dimlicht zoals altijd, grootlicht + 2 extra grootlicht.

And the signal should always come from the highbeam and not from the batteri or parkinglight as it is in the end of the video

I know what you say. I am not using them in the city. On highways as low beam for extra light.

No such thing as front "fog lights". Those "fog" lights in the bumpers of cars are kerbside illumination lights specifically desingned to illuminate both kerbsides on roads where there are no street lights.

@@terrortorn Not sure what part of the world your claim might apply, but both the XC70's manual and my country's traffic rules specifically name fog lights, front and rear.

@@UHGPRA It is true that "fog light" is a term commonly used virtually everywhere and that includes manufacturers. And for the rear light perfectly true. Rear lights having no lens that casts a beam of light they only illuminated the rear of the vehicle and the rear "fog light" brighter than the normal rear light to help in foggy conditions. But the inter bumper lights, and it was these I was specifically referencing and not any after-market bolt ons, are so angled and dipped to illuminate the roadside. They have no specific fog use but designed for use on unlit roads with ill defined edges. As far back as the late 80's Ford were calling them "driving lights" on their Sierras although I have no doubt "fog light" was also used.

@@terrortorn subaru absolutely uses them as fog lights and they do help in foggy conditions. at least on my outback where they made them larger for that purpose

Will do a video on all that you listed.

Thx. Bring it!

Thumbii but why not the beast...?

@@jasper_north more expensive repairs, bigger vehicle, etc.. beefier suspension parts add up fast

How did you make a spacer?

Wasabi. When I did mine I bought some small (1.25" diameter) solid rubber caster wheels at Çanadian tire to use as spacers. They worked great. Used a 1.25" hole saw to cut away the exterior plastic of the bumper and the caster wheels fit perfectly. Didn't use Yuri's heated socket approach and the saw makes a cleaner hole.

Är inte m8 lite svag för 5 nbb 225?

De räckte för mig, och 3-4 självdragande skruv tog jag med 😄

@@Alexander-lv2mi Genom fästet och rakt in i kofångaren?

In my country, Egypt, the dealer refuse to activate any oem option unless all the spare parts are oem by volvo! Also, it must be installed by them. I had this problem when I tried to add a rear camera

@@TubesWidener Email Volvo, dealerships are not allowed to do this unless it's a safety concern. Volvo's work in a strange way, expect to pay a decent amount to get this software. Way to complicated to explain.

Rubber will not help. It's too big and heavy for the bracket.

Thx! Will for sure visit Sweden!

volvosweden where do you come from?

I was born in USSR. Now in Canada.

It’s Manitoba man, that’s all you need to know 😂

Nice! Been to Copenhagen in 2003. Beautiful city.

knarfmedvro heerlijk...ik vind het niks. Zit je ook op Swedespeed en VOLVO forum? 😹

Yeah I was sort of kidding on the over heating, but you can't argue those spots do cover a good 50% at least of the grill area, so most of the bugs and stones will be hitting them instead :D

Ses kes

got any more information on this? is there any way to wire up an OEM switch on the dash for this purpose? I know the older XC70 and XC90 had this...

@@macadood My bad, I got it mixed up with the older platform, realized my mistake today when I installed some.

It's easier. But I wanted independent control. Also at the moment the Hella lights are aimed as Low beam. No glare to oncoming traffic.

@@volvosweden Those lights are used to supplement the high beam headlamps. Even if you aim them low you will still dazzle oncoming drivers as there is no upper cutoff in the beam. Either use them only with the high beams (and aim them correctly) or get the fog light model with a beam pattern cutoff that doesn't blind other drivers.

@@volvosweden You are most likely blinding other drivers even with them aimed down since the light pattern is designed to give light without any cut of, you can even see one of the cars you meet at 16:30 flash their highbeams at you since you are blinding them. Aim them correctly and use them as compliments to your highbeam and you will have much more use of them and you will be more legal, this applies to your truck aswell.

Big thank you! Hello to Sweden. Home of Volvo.

@@volvosweden I live 15min drive from the factory where your and all XC70/V70 are made :) Thanks for a great channel.

I am jealous!

I know. The kit is not cheap.

@@volvosweden do you know the part number for this kit? just curious how it is implemented

Volvo accessory web. Choose uk for region.

Aimed them as low beam. I decided not shot any night video so there will not be any unnecessary discussion. Thx!

And it is now 2 months later and I installed two Rough Country led lights on my xc70 using the mounting advice you gave on the video and they look freaking awesome. I had to special order the 8 1/2 " bolts ($20ea) and I hooked the lights directly into high beams so interior switch not needed. Thanks Yurt! Your video was inspirational!

I have 5 auxillary light wich is 225mm wide in diameter, 3 of them cover the front grill and i have not noticed any higher temperature on my engine in the summers here in sweden ;)

They do!!! Skipping is not a problem. I do it! ;)

Hey! I dont like the new shifter style on pre restyle XC70! My own opinion. Gongrats on the purchase!!

Exactly.

Wanted independent control

@@volvosweden You can have a tree-way switch to be able to have both ;) pos1-ON pos2-Off pos3-On with org-highbeam

That's witty!

@@Christerart1 Problem though that LYSSANDE is not a Swedish word....

30cm

Dont think a drastic decrease.

It will take 1 liter air less per hour...thats fine.

Size!
