I just joined the forum and this is my first post. I have a 2007 S60 2.5t, and had the drivers side (n.american) bi-xenon headlamp replaced by a local mechanic about a month ago, at the cost of about $300. Well, now the bulb is on the fritz again... It works, but just. Looks like someone is shining a toy flashlight through it. I'm determined to save myself some money and install another bulb myself. I'm fairly mechanically inclined, but dont want to jump into it without some sort of reference. Are there any written or pictorial references (preferably for free) that are available on the web or in this forum that could help?

Much thanks,

S60 Cyclops

 

Welcome to the Board.

Did you check to see if there is any kind of warranty on the bulb. Bit to expensive of a bulb to go bad again with in a month.

 

Yes, the bulb does have a warranty, and I'll be given a new one by the parts store once the other is returned. Just need instruction on how to remove and install.

 

Take the old one out and put the new one in ? , be sure to turn the car off when doing it, otherwise you might get zapped with 20k v from the ballast :P

 

Yes, that much has been established. Electricity is hazardous, I have a bad bulb, and a new one must take its place. My question is, how (defining "how" as a request for specific instruction) to remove and replace the bulb.
