Hello and welcome! Is your car a MkII GLE (MY '84 - '85) or a MkIII (MY '86 - '88) ?
I have some used LHD headlamps (and possibly some indicators) you could have, would have to check postage though - it's likely to be a lot ...
EDIT: postage is around 40 Euros!

Yeah, there is a dealer here but the thing is that it doesn't have anything for my car which is a 360 GLE '87, it only has parts for newer cars, or the old one that are still circulating in a relatively good quantity not the 300 series here, we don't see much of these around, and if they're going to get the parts from outside the country they charge you extremely high!! Because is the only shop that brings volvo parts, not many volvo cars are sold so no other part dealers are interested in bringing parts, is not profitable... I'll send you my email adress and see what we can do thanks! a lot!!!
