Hi

I am a newbie and I wondered whether someone could just help me out! I have a Volvo V50 Estate 2009 and to say we have had problems with this car would be an understatement. I will spare you all the gory details but lets just say the problems started with an engine that caught fire and has culminated into many other issues! I finally thought I had reach the end (one a new DPF is purchased that is ) and low and behold another error message. PLEASE PLEASE tell me that the error message reading "Bulb Failure - Low Beam just means that the bulbs have blown and need replacing and its not another electrical issue? Can the sensors really feel a bulb has blown?

I would really appreciate the help

Thanks

It just means you have a headlight out.

 

Welcome to the forum

 

sure a sensor can tell if the bulb (essentially its a resistor to an electric circuit) if opened up. You should be able to find a Youtube video on how to replace the bulb in the 2nd Gen S40/V50 light (there's a tab to pull up and swing out the headlight assembly for easy access. Way nicer than the older cars. Just a note - check both bulbs - sometimes they go in pairs :-)

 

Yes I got the same error message. It's an easy fix. The headlight comes out as a component. Sorry no thread but I found a good youtube video showing exactly how to replace the bulb.

 

Hi
I have dame message but the bulb is ok. I did replaced it any way but same message and no low beem on left side.
All other lights are ok. What could be reason of this problem

 

Look up issues on the left headlight relay and fuse (owner's manual, or online). One of those - or perhaps a wiring fault - is the issue, most likely.
