Did everything perfectly..but I have a question? What about the Lens..meaning the Plastic Cover inside side..can that be somehow Cleaned..like a stick with cloth etc..let me know
@4DIYers: Thank you so much for your Video! I have a question for you or any one else that follows you. My headlight is exactly the same on my 2009 s40 2.4i. Is there a way to remove/change the plastic window in the front of the Headlight assembly? I wanted to know if this can be replaced instead of buying a full brand new headlight assembly just for that because mine (driver side/left) has started to cracked from the inside (multiple small cracks / like veins look a like) and I've been told that since it cannot be polished from the inside I should replace the whole assembly with either a new one or trying to find a good condition used one. If so, how can I remove/change it? Thank you & Happy Easter to every one!
No problem and I hope you had a great Easter too! I was about to say I haven't seen a new lens available but a quick search online proves that wrong. Apparently you can buy just the lens. I've never done this, but it's a common process where people put the headlight in an oven, soften up the adhesive for the lens and separate it from the assembly. I believe a heat gun will work too. You may have the same problem with a used unit, unless you were able to pick one up super cheap.
@@4DIYers I did had a good Easter thank you! Also thank you for your reply it is much appreciated. just did a research this morning and indeed with heat gun it would work. Do you know what could cause inside the Galss lens (headlight assembly) to crack? Because for a x reason i got those small lines crack look a like inside in the interior of the headlight where i got the condensation from wich it impossible to polish and it makes the Glass even more fogy because of this. I've been told that it could possibly be because of the gasket or because of a leak , and been told to just replace the whole Headlight... Any opinion on this subject? If i can save few bucks would be great lol Thank you! :)
Are you sure the cracks are inside the lens? I had similar looking "veins" on my S40 headlights and was able to polish them out from the outside. My headlights are now crystal clear.
How can I program my key fob to signal the receiver? It starts the car but wont lock /unlock. I have a new battery and have carefully /thoroughly cleaned the circuit board. Both my key fobs stopped unlocking /locking the C30
Kenny Sanders I am having exactly the same problem. I checked every resistor to see if any was burned, in the motor compartment as in under the glove box. And also not only the car won’t close/open but I can’t fully open the right side window it opens only 1/5 down.
Sadly I think it's only a dealer option unless you know someone with a subscription version of VIDA. Here's a bit more info on the issue www.c30crew.com/forum/showthread.php?10747-Key-remotes-go-bad&highlight=programming
Did this just today. On Volvo v50. One bad thing I managed to get is the right or left lamp one of the screw is blocked by big plastic which regulates the height of the beam. It took me an hour to remove the screw and put it back in later on. Cleaned the lens they were covered with white dust, my reflectors are a bit burnt. Installed Philips white vision halogenas will test out at night. Any tips how to dissasmble the reflectors from the lens? They are not held by screws... Was wondering because thinking to change the burnt reflectors. Thanks in advance
I have been tweaking things on a new-to-me 2008 V50. Same problem in a headlight assembly using H11/9005 bulbs. After almost giving up, I decided that a little bit of that plastic would not be missed. I used a soldering iron to melt a half circle recess into the plastic lip that interferes with screw access. Quick, easy and relatively clean. I, too, had the white dust coating and I'm hoping that its removal will give me more useful light even with the stock setup. It is dismal now. And I am pleased that future tweaking will also be easy - like if I want to play with the shape of the cutoff shield. And while I really have no issue with the 9005 high beams, I will defintiely be doing a simple 9011 substitution.
@@DirtRoadie Thank sfor the tip, however on my S40 (2012) the torx head is significantly more obscure and will require a substantial amount of plastic to be removed. I tried undoing the accessible torx with a 3mm ball-nose Allen key, it slips. will try next time with a 1/8" ball nose Allen key, this might work wth a bit of the plastic removed, in order to access the screw head at an angle.
Hey man, little help here... I'm absolutely losing my mind as I cannot seem to be able to unplug the headlights. I have no clue on how to manipulate the clip/latch to get it off. Any advice?
Make sure there is no dirt under the tab you're pushing down on, also push the plug in before pressing down on that tab. A standard screwdriver can also be used to help pry the plug from the connection, just be careful as the plastic can be brittle and break.
@@4DIYers Thanks, worked. Got some fancy halos fitted. Although I noticed after doing the first headlight, the Torx screws produce a lot of dust. I made sure to be careful and knock it out for the second headlight, but my first headlight now has some plastic dust floating around.
4DIYers very, very good!! Highly recommend!Just make sure not to get the bluish light. It should be yellowish to white (3500K-6500K). Just to repeat, it is worth the purchase!
@@PlanesAndCoffee000 bandziau. Tik reikia atsargiai sukti ta varzta, nes as sulauziau. Jeigu nesisuka lengvai tai reik kokio purskiamo tepalo privaryt ten giliai, nes ten gumine tarpine yra ir per ja stringa.
