Volvo XC90: Maintenance and service / Replacing the low beam headlight bulbs

The low beam bulbs in the halogen headlights can be changed without the help of a workshop.

Before the bulbs can be replaced, the plastic covering over the headlight must be removed.

CAUTION

Never touch the bulb glass with your bare fingers. Grease and oils from your fingers vaporize in the heat and will leave a deposit on the reflector, which may damage it.
