May i known what type of light bulbs you going to change?

And yes you can fit Xenon light on our X40, infact our car can have
Xenon light as optinal item from volvo dealers. but most mod X40
here is fitted after marker xenon lighting.

I am not sure what bulb but Ah Kee said it will improve by changing the
bulbs alone. Is Xenon light better? And would you know how much it costs?

Some Xenon can go as low as RM 800.00 but it's for low beam only. The
ones with acceptable quality should be around the range of RM 2000 and
above. At least these comes with Hi and Lo beam.

Anyone has found better offer?

Dont understand why ah kee ask you to change light bulbs at this
moment.

if you have decided to change to the new Black bezel headlamps, will
advise you to on hold your replacement as the black bezel lamp are
using H7 bulb and our exsiting lamp are with H4 bulb so
replacement for short period is wasted $$$$$$$

Xenon light is better for sure.. but no sure the new taiwan made Black
bezel headlamp reflector will effect by HID bulbs or no ???

today Xenon light / HID are cheaper alots, you can find those taiwan
or korean made around rm1500 - rm 2000 and if you can find those
" under water " will be ever cheaper... heard can get around rm 700
but if finacially ok better go for Philips HID..

Hi guys,
Changed the black bezel lamps at Ah Kee place, took about 2 1/2 hrs,
cost me rm1274, installation fees rm40, but can trade in old lamp,Ah Kee
took back for rm200(depend the lamp condition), so, the total is rm1114.
Now my volvo look very much difference then before and better brightness.
Ah Kee told that all the three lamps sold out, guys, you have to wait for
the next shipment already.

Hi Richard & wookie,
Sure no problem can meet up next week, any place you mention.

wks2,
The wireman is near by Ah Kee place, introduced by Ah Kee.
First car changed the lamps, spare sometime with this wireman to refix
some item like motor assembly and etc. By then, he is very familier and
faster to replace it for your car.

See you next week guys!!
