Hello, I recently became the owner of a 2006 240 T5 FWD M66. After about a week of owning the car and getting relatively low on gas, the car mysteriously sputtered out and died at a light. Cue instant panic, car sold as-is from an out-of-state dealer, maybe got sold a lemon, etc. Turns out, […]

Hi, I’d like to chime in here on a couple things. 1. The A-Pillar does indeed have a side curtain, and the A-Pillar requires Removal, to run a wire behind that curtain. 2. How did you route the B-Pillar? 3. Does the C-Pillar or D-Pillar have a side curtain in the XC90s? Like the A-Pillar, […]

Yes, the inner reflector bulb goes on as a high beam in addition to the bi-xenon projector. However….the active bending mechanism had to […]
