We miss you here!

Not seen you for a while. Hope you, Mrs Involvo'd and the kid are doing well. Have a great holiday and hope to see more Volvo tinkering soon ❤

I miss Your volvo videos i always watched at breakfast

As a subscriber, feel abandoned by your channel, but hay-ho I suppose needs must. I wish you and your lovely family all the best for the future. Both myself and my 740 estate will miss you loads.😢

Hope you and the family are well! You are sorely missed my dude! Good Volvo content is almost impossible to find these days. Hope you can make it back one day!

am quite sad that you have moved your videos from youtube to patreon where you need to pay for watching your videos. I loved watching them here on youtube where i can watch them for free and yes there is ads and so on but who cares. Sad not be able to watch my favurated Volvo youtuber anymmore.

as a yank, I think the euro look is better but I get where you are coming from. Hope you and the Mrs (and the little one) are doing great. great video

Missing you!

I think it’s funny Americans swap to e codes and Europeans swap to the quad lights.

i miss your awsome volvo videos :( hope you get some inspiration to make some more :) /Henric-sweden

Hope to see you back with more Volvo delight soon! 🙏

Miss your awsome volvo videos!

Both frontends looks fantastic. 😍😍👍

The flashing indicators look so cool!! I like both the european and US headlights. The fact about the quad headlights in the US blew my mind. Crazy that the goverment decided which lights to use.

Love that front 😍. Thinking about building such lights for my 940

what happened to the guy?

Absolutely love them, ive been torn about doing the same on my flat front 740, but for now im keeping the yellow big lumps in

Looks good, but I don't like the Patreon news. One more platform to register to and to check. 😔

You should get a roll of black cloth tape, that does make nice cable harnesses.

It's funny when you see Euro cars on American channels with federal lights and bumpers, you'd be begging them to change back to the clean European look. Does look good, chrome grill and fog lights would finish the American look no end.

picked up a 240 that sat for 10 years, thankfully in a barn, so no rust. found your video and just finished binge watching every single one on your channel. thanks for the entertainment and education. much love from Russia

I did this very same thing on my '77 264 GL way back in '87. It looked and worked great and I never regretted it! Btw, back then I was able to buy everything that I needed for the conversion directly from Volvo. Easy but fairly expensive.

I have to say, when I saw the title and the picture, I was like: has he gone mad? Thats a horrible idea. Why? But now as I see it, I have to confess, it does look kind of cool. And the badge just finishes it off.

just got a 89 244 hope to see you back soon

That looks really good :) A couple of Volvo guys I know in the UK have fitted the US/Canada headlights to their cars, a 1986 760 Turbo Intercooler estate and a 1988 740 GLE estate, respectively.

Wow! It looks amazing. More strong and big for me. My mind also blows with the same lights in different cars.

Good Luck with the move, hope it all goes well and one day you can have a space to work on the Volvos again and come back to youtube.

I think it looks great. I actually always liked more US-Style headlights in (almost) any car. But in this case it fits so well because of car style (kinda old US boxy design). I like it!

I have always loved that front on the estates ever since I seen it on my friends 760 in Canada and his father's 244 it makes the front of the car look so good they should have done a twin indicator bulb in the set up but still it does look great 👌👍👍👍✅

Nice work, especially considering the condition in which the parts were. The main problem with these is that they're sufficient to be seen but honestly they are quite insufficient when driving in the countryside. If you want to stick to sealed beams there are uprated versions now available (and not that pricy) or you could consider go to H4/H1 conversion. Hella still makes these I believe. They would pass the test. Keep up the good work always a pleasure watching your videos!

Super cool, and seeing you so happy, I’d say it’s meant to be like this. Enjoy the new look of Elsa.

Looks like it snuck right in from the us!, #Volvoforlife, love the channel and the videos and a bit of a late congrats on the 3rd family member 👏! Wont be long before a 16 year old first Volvo reveal, the lambda sensor badge is a real nice touch, I’ve blacked and silvered many grills and in the case of the beautiful metallic blue Volvo paint I would have to agree silvering up that grill would really make it pop!

I love the look of cuadra lights.... Can I sugest painting the faded gril black, it wold light up the front

looking good man 👍

Made a Discovery today. VW type 1 2 and 3 window cranks fit Volvo 240 window crank handles got nice shiny chrome ones and they bolted right on to replace the cheesy plastic ones from Volvo or IPD for that matter

I love the look of that, well worth doing 👍

You've got me thinking about quad lights on my 940 now. I don't know if they were ever available. On another issue. It's a joy to hear you pronounce "solder" correctly. I cringe every time an American says "sodder". It is unnecessarily lazy to delete the "l". Cheers.

I followed your Patreon and move to your Vimeo channel, but there seems to be no activity anymore on any of those. I hope you are doing well. Julien

Massive difference 😁

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder! I prefer the quads on my 88 740 GLT (coffin nose as these cars are lovingly called) to the what I call (bubble gum look) plastic lenses of the 92 740 Turbo wagon which I am told cannot be easily converted to quads. I did convert my 93 240 wagon from plastic North American to glass euro lenses which is definitely an upgrade. Again no easy conversion to quads for those later year 240s. Those plastic reflector and turn light bar in the quad combo where in the euro models the headlight wiper/washer goes disintegrates in these older cars and I have found aftermarket ones which also seem to be of relative poor quality but at least I did not have to make my own which I was seriously contemplating. You would think that the engineers at Volvo would have placed the turn indicator in the lateral corner lights but no they put the turn indicator in that reflector bar right under the high beam of the headlights. (and left only the parking lights in the corners with an empty space where you would think they would have put the turn indicator.) Anyway I like the quad conversion you are doing.

If you look at the bumper @0:35, you can see that even the water is working ;P

Looks good I have to admit. It's just a shame you can't get them with twin headlamp wipers! Now that would be cool.

Idk how you find time for all this great projects, but admiration! 😅

One thing i wish he did. was upload unedited videoes to youtube and the edited ones to patreon. anyone agree?

Looks quite nice.

Love it, far prefer the US fit; this style really does compliment the boxiness of the 740s (any 80s box, really) perfectly.

At least they are Halogen sealed beams. The old British round sealed beams where tungsten and appalling - think they where standard on lots of 60's and 70's cars i.e. Escorts, mini etc. To keep 2 or more wires together you can put one end in a vice and the other in a battery drill and twist them, then a little tug secures the twist. Then solder up as you did.

I know I already commented on your Patreon post. But my buddy Michael was the one who sent you these lights! Without him, I wouldn't have the turbo wagon, the gray sedan and a ton of the parts I currently have on my Canadian 245! Also. He was there when I pulled the distributor that I sent you! The lights look awesome. It's weird to hear you both refer to something as "American" 😂😂😂

Please put the alloys back on! They fit tje US look perfectly

This looks sick! Also a good today I learned about the us headlights

Looks great, lamda zond badge was a nice addition. Only thing that's missing now is a roof rack isn't it? Always wanted these headlights on mine, but sold my pre facelift model, now I have the ugly facelift 740.

In Sweden you can buy those US bulb holders that you searching for

Waw looks fantastic

So good!!!

I prefer the European lights, especially with the wipers. It might have looked OK with round quads as it would make the car look slightly less boxy.

Here in amerikaw my car came with the quad lights, the sealed beam headlights are very poopy. I picked up a set of conversion lenses that utilize the replaceable h4 halogen bulbs. Much brighter. Recently I started using the led h4 bulbs with excellent results. Hella sells them also there’s a company called auto pal that sells a budget version. Gets a person away from dim poopy sealed beams.

QUADS! Hell yeah! Once you get some good new H1/H4 housings in there, you'll be able to see at night! Not that 740 euro glass headlights are bad, but theyre still over 30 year old tech.

I love the look of it! And actually all chrome in the front looks very good with those US headlights. I think that maybe people like more the egg crate black design because it resembles more the turbo version? I like the black grille look because it makes that oblique chrome line with the Volvo badge in the middle really pop up even in the distance. Looking great! I also like those little inserts here and there that you've done in the edit. Keep it up!

Nice choice, now 2 foglights on the front spoiler

Awesome! Now you just need a couple of LED bulbs...

Really digging this ya know

You could go into any car parts store in the US and buy replacement headlights for any car. Early 140’s and 240’s had sealed beam lights in the UK.

Looking good!

Is there an alternative where you can use normal bulbs? Maybe headlamps from a Renaul 11, before the facelift?

I rate it!

its probably allowed bc the swedish cars came with the USA headlights as a option back in the day. so it should be allowed by the german car inspection, bc its allowed by the swedish car inspection, both are part of the EU and should be able have factory original parts on it. tho i cant be sure, i live in sweden, not germany

I'm so jealous 😍. I guess the 240 can only get quads as 85 models with the long nose

Why are you not making videos? Hope u well!!!

Looks really good ! 🎉

Love them. If you can get the oblong Volvo fogs that would complete the look. Id be tempted to try using the day running lights as the indicators, would make them much more visible.

Oh that looks great! How about swapping a couple of tips. I use" grip tape" for bats etc as electrical insulation tape, it seems to be a little bit more sticky, and has a more classic cloth look. Also I've just come across WAGO connectors, they clip shut on Your wire and can be unclipped easily. What are those connectors name. Best Wishes Dee

Why not scan and 3d print the bulb holder you need?

Won't this be an issue for the Tuv?

I have to say, I think Volvo do a nicer job of styling than the Americans. Why would anyone want the same lights as every other car in America?

Nice lights

Initially they could only have single 7 inch round headlights. Then in the late 50s they approved quad 5.75 inch headlights. Then in the 70s they approved the 5x7 and 4x6 rectangular headlights. This will blow your mind they only approved halogen headlights in then 1970s. Replaceable bulb aero headlights only were approved in the 1980s.

Nice video! Do you know if such quad headlights are also available for a Volvo 940?

Awesome :)!

I would have liked a video on how to repair the headlight wipers :(

One of the very few 80s euro cars that actually look good with us spec lights fitted. Though to me, the lack of wash wipe makes me stick with the original lights on my own 740s hehe. How do these compare at night by the way in terms of vision? Curious.

I'm in Australia and I'm jealous as I'd like to do the same mod on one of my 740's. Too expensive to import these nowadays.

The indicators would be nice if it lit up more of the oblong light. Should of had 2 bulbs per indicator on each side. Or yellow led strip?

Where are you? Are you ok ?

Where u at brother.......?

It seems this is the only way to send you a comment. By going to Patreon only means I cannot watch you on my Smart TV, the only way I watch You Tube. So it will be goodbye. Sorry.

I can’t believe that would be an issue for the inspection. Why so strict about modifications? With the American military bases in Germany I’m sure there must be a number of U.S. cars

love it, I just hope you wont come across any policeman who is very bored with his live and has no friends...

Funkar/passar det att använda orginal lamphållarna till blinker och position om man skaffar en extra till?

Very nice! Always like the us front. it looks so 80 s so great! I will try to find one in Sweden.

Would also be nice to put the white reflective tape in the front bumper and red in the rear, I think that was an original option

Only missing some ocean mk18’s 😂😎

the clips on the chrome bit for my headlights are also non existent but the hood being closed keeps them in there xD

Can you do this to 240 Volvos?

I can only speak for myself, I'm in europe.. but I have always felt that the euro ones are too big, and makes the car look really "cheap" compared to the us ones. also, Vparts in sweden has lenses, and parts for US headlights

In 1986 I was fortunate enough to order a 745 Turbo, manual transmission, and the Euro E Code lights would have cost me an extra $1,200.00. I installed 4 Cibie halogen for $200.00. CDN. So, to me you're going backwards. Wondering what TUF thinks of your modification?

So you've decided that your headlights were too good, and decided to swap them over for something less dazzling?

It is funny some Volvo guys here change to E-codes and now I am seeing some Euro guys changing theirs to US/CDN spec.

does the us front fit on the 1989 740?

Why the move to vimeo?

any idea why only one headlight would burn out? my 740 seems to eat lights, the highbeam on the burnt out side still works but i had replaced a headlight unit and quickly after it went out.
