Owners of other Volvo vehicles such as the XC90, XC70, S90, S80, S60, S40, C30, C70, V90, V70, V60 and V40 may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

The compatible replacement light bulb part numbers are as follows: Low Beam # H11, High Beam # H9 and Front Turn Signal # PY24W (also known as PWY24W or PWY24WSV).

The tools needed to access and replace the headlight bulbs include a flathead screwdriver and a Torx T20 star bit screwdriver.

In order to access the light bulbs, you'll have to detach the headlight assembly from the front bumper and engine bay.

Luckily, Volvo engineers have made the process very easy.

Locate the two black plastic locking pins (A.K.A. "stakes" or "spikes") attached to the top of the headlight housing.

Firmly slide out the inner and outer lock pins from their slots. Set the two pins aside in a safe place.

Gently pull the headlight housing off the front of the SUV.

I recommend disconnecting the electrical connector so you can set the headlight assembly on a soft surface to replace any of the bulbs to prevent from scratching the plastic lens or the bumper cover.

Use a flathead screwdriver to push down the release tab on the black plastic electrical connector before sliding the plug straight out of its socket.

To replace the low beam and high beam bulbs, you'll need to remove the plastic access cover.

Set the 4 screws aside in a safe place.

The low beam light bulb (blue label) is located near the center of the headlight assembly.

Gently pull back on the tab to release the electrical connector's retaining clip before sliding it straight off the base of the old light bulb.

If you do get the new bulb dirty, wipe it clean with some rubbing alcohol and a paper towel.

Insert the new number H11 low beam bulb in to the housing and rotate it 1/4 turn clockwise to secure it in place.

Push the power plug straight on to the base of the new low beam bulb until it clicks securely in to place.

Gently pull back on the tab to release the electrical connector's retaining clip before pulling the power plug straight off the base of the old light bulb.

Rotate the base of the old light bulb 1/4 turn counterclockwise before pulling it straight out of the housing.

If you do get the new bulb dirty, wipe it clean with some rubbing alcohol and a paper towel.

Insert the new number H9 high beam bulb in to the housing and rotate it 1/4 turn clockwise to secure it in place.

Push the power plug straight on to the base of the new high bulb until it clicks securely in to place.

Rotate the bulb socket 1/4 turn counterclockwise before pulling it straight out of the housing.

Gently pull the old light bulb out of the socket.

The compatible replacement light bulb part number is listed as PY24W in the owner's manual, PWY24W on the back of the headlight housing and PWY24WSV on the Sylvania website.

Re-insert the socket in to the housing and rotate it 1/4 turn clockwise to secure it in place.

Tighten the four screws by turning them clockwise with the Torx T20 screwdriver until they are snug.

Try to avoid over tightening the screws to prevent from cracking the plastic access cover.

Push the headlight electrical connector straight in to its socket.

Slide the headlight housing back in to place on top of the front bumper cover.

Double check that the headlight housing is securely attached to the front of the SUV.

To test the new light bulbs, turn on the headlights, flash the high beams and activate the hazard signals.

Be sure to record the headlight bulb change in your vehicle's service records.
