Only the Dealer can do it but most will not do it anymore. Some Volvo repair shops can do it as well.

What I do to turn off the Low Beams during the day is..switch from "O" up one notch to the parking lights..this will turn off the Low Beams as Daytime Running lights....

Here is the kicker though..when you stop and turn off the Ignition..it will not turn off the parking lights..you will have to put the switch back to the "O" position..when the Ignition is off..to turn off all lights.

It works great..but you have to REMEMBER to turn them off.

I don't know if this works on all Volvos..I do know it works on the 01 S80 which I own.

Good Luck and Happy Motoring
