Are the lenses clean and not dirty (and I'm talking the inside not the outside) are the reflectors in good nick?

I always though my Volvo lights were poor until a bulb finally blew. Turned out to be the original bulbs (I replaced both headlight bulbs) both were stamped Volvo which made them 12 years old!

After putting in some new bulbs only standard ones bought in Tescos of all places the difference was huge.

Not bad life span when you think the Volvo uses its headlights all the time as DRLs.

Search on eBay or Amazon for Osram Nightbreakers or Philips Extreme Vision - they usually win the comparison tests for lamp upgrades.
