Volvo Repair: Headlamp cleaning, repair, volvo s80 t6, volvo s80


Question
I have a 2001 Volvo S80 T6, on which I replaced the factory H7 low beam and high beam headlights with xenon equivalents.  The right side of the car is fine.  However on the left side I have blown three fuses, have intermittent periods where the low beam and/or the high beam work/don't work, and the headlight lens has taken on a cloudy yellowish appearance.

I have tried to clean it from the outside, and obviously it is on the inside of the headlamp.

What can I do about cleaning the headlight lens and what do I do about the intermittent behavior?

Answer
Randy, there is nothing you can do with the yellowness.  There are cleaners that claim to clean it but it doesnt work.  Ive tried them all.  I would get a new headligh assembly.  The behavior sounds like its a problem inside the assembly.  Ive seen those wires go bad and act strange.  Roger
