Volvo XC60 Headlights
The XC60 by Volvo is a compact luxury crossover sport utility vehicle that began production in 2008. It comes with front-wheel or all-wheel drive, and it has either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission and premium gasoline or diesel engine, with the ability to upgrade to a hybrid engine. After a few years of routine driving at night, the XC60 may need to have its headlight covers or bulbs replaced in order for you to maintain nighttime visibility.
What are the features of Volvo XC60 headlights?- Integrated high and low beams: The Volvo XC60 SUV offers headlights that have integrated high and low beams so that you can adjust the level of brightness based on the weather and traffic conditions to increase vehicle safety.
- Capability to convert to light emitting diodes: Vintage model years of the XC60 may be converted to accept light emitting diode bulbs in the headlights with a lamp conversion kit that integrates into the lights housing.

It is necessary to replace a burned out bulb in your turbo Volvo XC60 SUV before you drive at night again because fully functioning headlights are required by law. To replace a burned out light bulb in the headlight assembly of your Volvo, you will need to begin by releasing the hood and propping it up. Reach into the headlight assembly housing through the engine block, which allows you to access the back side of the assembly of the XC60. Remove the lights power connector by turning it slightly counterclockwise. Remove the assemblys dust cover by turning it one quarter of a full rotation counterclockwise. Press down on the clip to release the light bulb. You may need to lightly tug the base of the bulb to release it. Hold the new bulb with a tissue over your fingers. Push the replacement bulbs base into the clips. Reattach the dust cover and power connector. Put your key in the Volvo XC60s ignition and set it to "run." Turn on the Volvo SUVs headlights to check that they are operating correctly.
