Ls Ser 4 'running Lights'

[Chris Skelton]

On the Ser 4 the side lights have another section at the end, (on the corner?). Are these USA style running lights, left unconnected? Can they be re-activated?

Thinks......why doesn't the lazy s*d unscrew the things and look himself?

do you mean the corner lights on the wing/headlamp corner ? these are the front indicators or do you mean the corner lights on the bottom of the front bumper next to the fog lamp ?

you must mean the ones on the bottom of the front bumper. If you take it off its just an empty shell which you should drill a hole into and fit a running light (couldn't see any obvious spare power connectors hanging). I'm not sure if its legal to fit additional running light ???

I often think to myself that if i was to prepare a track ready Mk4 LS400 i would take out these blank lights and the fog lamps and replace them with mini oil coolers :)

Wasn't worried about 'Legal'!! (I have orange sidelights on my S-Cargo, still, after 7 years!) but thought the US fittings might still be there, minus bulbs.

Oil coolers? Luckily, mine has an extra one, for tow bar users!

Why would you want them? To my mind, they confuse people. At a quick glance, it might look like you have hazards on, or if you can only see one corner of the car (eg front angle at a junction) like you are indicating one way - and then go and move in another!

Sorry, only just read this reply.

Just because Volvo do it from the factory doesn't mean I don't think it's still confusing!
