The Volvo 480 looks good as is, but if you have the desire to give it a more personal look you can find out what others did to their 480 and be inspired.

Hmm, i was thinking that has anyone build different type rearlights? I`m building new rearlights, i`m using e-accepted round lights (hella or some caravan lights) and i put plexiglass above them and bottom of lights is original volvo 480 light bottom, so bracket fits 100% that will look like lexus lights. I put some pictures when i start building them (i had started building but there is nothing to see yet). My old lights are so badly broken that i cant stand them anymore. Also new ones cost about 400e/pair

Put if someone had build some type rear lights send me pictures or post em there. Sorry about my bad english put hope everyone understands.

The cornflake question was good, i was actually waiting for someone to ask about it
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
In finland allmost every food package has text in finnish, swedish and english (some have even french, german and russian texts). Cornflakes are also very good and healthy.

Also cornflakes is trademark and finnish name for them is "maissihiutaleet" but cornflakes sounds better. Now comes the hardest part of light making because i must do identical another light.

I was thinking about this the other day... great minds think alike.
They look superb, get them on the car and take some pictures.
P.S. I will take a set

Lights cost 19e per each and wiring 5e each. Folio tech carbon fibre film cost 25e. Glue and silicon about 30e. Full price was about 220-240e for a pair. Not cheap but cheaper than buying original lights from volvo. Original lights cost 200e per each.
