Volvo 480's at night

Here you can talk about the joy owning a Volvo 480 brings. Non-technical discussions take place here, like what is the difference between an ES and a S version.

Rob is right, those are windows over there :) - actually the pictures were taken about 3am because any other day that garage would've been too busy to take any pictures :)

We had 2.5" of snow today so I thought it would be the perfect oppertunity to get some pictures of my 480 in the dark!

Note though, that due to the brackets on one of my headlights being broke I've disconnected the motor and I'm using my inner fogs as driving lights for the mean time. Only a matter of time before the police pull me for having gleaming bright yellow fogs!

I love driving in snow. :)

It could be just a reflection but are your side-markers lit up? If so, could you perhaps show us how you did this? It's something that always kind of bugs me that the side markers dont light up aka Volvo S40...
