I was supposed to get xenon headlights on my new volvo, but it did not come with them, and I did not notice for months. Can the car be retrofitted for xenon headlights, or is that not possible, as the dealer claims.
Almost all cars can be retrofitted with HID headlights. Take your car to a completely different Volvo dealer and ask them about it offhandedly. If they say it can be done, go back to your dealer and say “HA!” and demand that they install them. Check to be sure you were charged for them; if you weren’t you can expect to pay around $1000 for the installation, if you really want them.
Actually, I was NOT charged for them, but had ordered them and the dealer neglected to tell me that the car was not exactly what I had ordered. I am willing to pay the 500 or so extra that it would have cost on the new vehicle. I’m sure you’re right about the 1000 dollars to retrofit, but I recall it as a 500 dollar or so new car option. And thank you for prompt response.
