I have a 2012 D5 XC60 and I have one headlight out on low beam. I’ve seen online videos that seem to make changing out the bulb very easy. Is there a specific type of bulb I need? (This is the 2nd bulb failure in 6 months, the other was on the other side)

 

Just stumbled across this on a xenon site (does this sound right?):

If your Volvo XC60 OEM hid bi-xenon headlight have problems, like light failed, dipped beam, not working, burnout, flickering or have any other issues, you only need to change or replacement related original xenon parts like: ballast, gas discharge bulb, igniter or wire harness, cable to repair your HID light is ok, no need to cost a lot of money to buy a whole brand new headlight assembly like the car dealer suggest.

Normally speaking, when your headlight have problem, check out the fuse first, if it’s ok, then replace the factory fit xenon control unit box ballast is ok, because from our many years experience, when the headlight not work, 90% of the problem is on the ballast.
