WARNING
On cars with Dual Xenon headlamps, Dual
06
Xenon lamp replacement must be carried
out at a workshop - an authorised Volvo
workshop is recommended. The headlamps
must be handled with extreme caution due
to the Dual Xenon lamp's high-voltage unit.
IMPORTANT
Never touch the glass part of the bulbs with
your fingers. Grease and oils from your fin-
gers are vaporised by the heat, coating the
reflector and then causing damage.
