NOTICED BARE WIRES INSIDE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, BOTH SIDES, WHEN CHANGING BULB. WRAPPED WIRES UNTIL I COULD FIND A WIRING HARNESS. LOW BEAM WAS WORSE THAN HIGH BEAM. CHECKED WITH VOLVO, TALLAHASSEE, FL AND THEY STATED THERE WERE NO RECALLS CONCERNING HEADLIGHT (OR SWITCH). RECENTLY BOUGHT TWO NEW WIRING HARNESSES AND INSTALLED BUT NOTICED THEY WERE ALSO NOT CORRECTLY INSULATED (PLASTIC) JUST LIKE THE OLD ONES (16 GAGE WIRE WITH PLASTIC, VS SILICON HIGH TEMP INSULATION.) ALSO, ON INSPECTION, NOTICED THE SAME HARNESS ON MY OTHER VOLVO, A 2002 VOLVO, HAD BEEN UPGRADED TO HEAVY DUTY WIRING WITH SILICON BASED INSULATION. DANGEROUS! BARE WIRES COULD HAVE SHORTED OUT HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT! HAVE OLD HARNESS AND PICTURES. CAN SEND/EMAIL AS REQUIRED. *TR
2000 VOLVO S70 (50,000: WHILE CHANGING LEFT LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT, NOTICED THE INSULATION WAS FLAKING OFF THE WIRES. INSPECTED THE OTHER SIDE. IT WAS WORSE WITH MAJOR BEAR SECTIONS OF WIRE. ALSO NOTED THE WIRE IS VERY THIN GAGE FOR HEADLIGHT CIRCUITS, ESPECIALLY IN SUCH A HOT, HIGH USE AREA. HIGH BEAM OK. CHECKED VOLVO FORUMS. FOUND THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH VOLVO AND A MECHANIC POSTED A REPAIR PROCEDURE. BESIDES THE SAFETY HAZARD OF SUDDENLY LOSING HEADLIGHTS, FLASHING OF A CIRCUIT OF THIS MAGNITUDE MIGHT HAVE OTHER AFFECTS ON COMPUTER RELATED CONTROLS. *TR
