in that case, then the reason for seeing a huge difference is likely the projector. our Z's have a 3" projector lens, but the bowl itself isnt that big. im willing to bet the volvo has a much larger projector or at least a more efficient design. you can always pay someone to do a retrofit!

throw a lexus ls projector in there and you'd light up miles of road
