Now that the NSFW kerfuffle is over, and I'm not raising ire with my comments, it's back to the regularly-scheduled Volvo updates.

I finally got a decent shot of the high beams in action on the 740. 100W HIDs (Realistically, only about 80W output) do a decent job of lighting things up. The lows remain halogen, but the highs...

The rally lights are on their way, so they'll be added the weekend following their arrival. I went with a pair of Bosch Pilot 150s that I'm going to mount in front of the grille. If I need more output from them, they'll also get HIDs, too...

Also, because I can't help post-whoring my 740...

I've also added stickers, because racecar.

For the fuel injection, yes. For the auxiliary highs, eh.... I actually prefer Cibie and Marchal driving lights, but the Bosch are much cheaper. The outer squares on my car are Cibie, and the inners are Hella knockoffs that don't really matter a whole lot, because 100W HID would cook good housings, anyway.
