Product Specifications

82526640 head lamp is an electric, LHD-configured left headlight assembly with integrated daytime running light (DRL), suitable for and compatible with VOLVO FE, FL and VM trucks in European and international markets. It is specified for FE and VM series vehicles from around 2003 onwards and for FL and later FL (3) and FE (3) models up to approximately 2012, making it a key service reference for fleets operating modern medium-duty VOLVO-compatible trucks.

This 82526640 head lamp is supplied with E-marked optics and DRL capability but without motor and without bulbs, allowing technicians to reuse the existing levelling motor where fitted and to select the correct bulb set for local regulations and fleet preferences. When installed on vehicles suitable for and compatible with VOLVO FE and FL series, the lens and reflector geometry provide a precise dipped-beam cutoff with strong main-beam reach, while the DRL channel improves daytime conspicuity in city traffic, loading yards and regional routes.

Cross-reference data links the primary 82526640 head lamp to related references 84550049 / 84550039 / 81658564, forming a small family of compatible left-hand lamps used across different FE, FL and VM variants. Consolidating these OEs under the 82526640 head lamp umbrella helps parts managers match front lighting correctly on vehicles suitable for and compatible with VOLVO cab designs while keeping catalogue entries clear and easy to search.

The housing, mounting points and connector layout are designed for a direct interface with front panels and wiring looms on FE, FL and VM trucks suitable for and compatible with VOLVO, keeping installation time predictable for workshops and reducing the risk of misalignment or water ingress. When combined with a matching right-hand headlamp and appropriate DRL programming, the 82526640 head lamp contributes to a clean, modern front-end appearance that aligns with VOLVO’s safety-focused design philosophy.

Bulk Purchase Benefits

For distributors and fleet operators managing vehicles suitable for and compatible with VOLVO FE, FL and VM series, the 82526640 head lamp is an ideal candidate for bulk stocking. Its coverage across multiple cab generations and regional variants helps support day-to-day accident repair and scheduled refresh programmes without the need for a large number of front-lamp SKUs.

Grouping cartons of 82526640 head lamp units together with clearly labelled cross-references such as 84550049, 84550039 and 81658564 simplifies warehouse operations, especially when stocking parts for mixed-age VOLVO-compatible fleets. Neutral or private-label packaging that states suitability for and compatibility with VOLVO FE, FL and VM trucks supports multi-market sales and online catalogue listing.

By integrating the 82526640 head lamp into standard front-end repair kits – including grille, bumper components and mounting hardware – bodyshops can reduce downtime when working on collision-damaged trucks suitable for and compatible with VOLVO. Consistent availability of this reference improves planning for large logistics operators that depend on high utilisation of FE and FL regional distribution vehicles.

DIY Replacement Guide

Before replacing the 82526640 head lamp, park the FE, FL or VM truck suitable for and compatible with VOLVO on level ground, apply the parking brake and isolate the vehicle’s electrical system according to workshop safety procedures. Confirm that the lighting switch is in the off position and the ignition is disabled.

Access the front lamp area by opening the service flap or removing trim pieces around the headlight aperture. Remove the retaining screws or clips holding the existing left-hand lamp, supporting the housing to avoid pulling on the wiring harness. Disconnect the multi-pin connector and, if present, carefully unplug the height-adjustment motor to prepare for transferring it to the new 82526640 head lamp.

Inspect the connectors, harness and sealing surfaces for corrosion, overheating or physical damage, especially on high-mileage vehicles suitable for and compatible with VOLVO. Install the correct bulbs recommended for dipped beam, main beam, DRL and position light functions, ensuring that wattage and base type match the original specification to prevent lighting faults or glare.

Mount the new 82526640 head lamp into the aperture, reconnect the wiring and refit the levelling motor if required. Tighten all fasteners evenly so the lamp sits flush with the surrounding panel work. Finally, switch on the lights and check dipped beam, main beam, DRL and side-light functions against a flat wall or beam tester, adjusting aim according to local regulations before returning the truck to service.

Compliance Statement

The 82526640 head lamp uses automotive-grade plastics, reflectors and lens materials appropriate for front lighting applications on trucks suitable for and compatible with VOLVO FE, FL and VM platforms. Its E-marked optics support installation in regions that follow widely recognised European lighting frameworks, provided that correct bulbs and levelling procedures are applied.

Material and sealing concepts are chosen to support long-term resistance to UV exposure, vibration and moisture, aligning with typical durability expectations for vehicles suitable for and compatible with VOLVO medium-duty fleets. Periodic inspection of lens clarity, housing integrity and adjustment mechanisms should be included in routine safety checks.

This head lamp is intended as a service replacement component and should be installed by qualified personnel familiar with lighting systems and diagnostic procedures on trucks suitable for or compatible with VOLVO. Final conformity with national and regional road-traffic laws depends on correct installation, beam alignment, bulb choice and ongoing maintenance.
