boostaddicted's 1997 Volvo 850 The Hovas have a 5-LED configuration between the low and high beam reflectors. The corners are Euro-spec ABMs. Instead of using an 1157 for parking lights and turn signals, the corners are split. 194 superwhite bulbs in the tops for parking lights and 1156 superwhite bulbs in the bottoms for turn signals.

boostaddicted's 1997 Volvo 850 Finally got a set of HIDs from mydepots.com...H1 for the low beams and H3 for the fogs. Both are 35-watt kits with 12000K bulbs.

boostaddicted's 1997 Volvo 850 The bulbs still haven't achieved their full color so they have a 10000K-look output.

boostaddicted's 1997 Volvo 850 Low beam reflector.

boostaddicted's 1997 Volvo 850 Stock projector fog light setup.

boostaddicted's 1997 Volvo 850 I'm pretty pleased with the color of the bulbs so far...as I use them more they should start to achieve more of a purplish tint.
