2008 VOLVO S80 key

The entire headlight housing must be lifted out when replacing all front bulbs (except for the fog lights).

leave a deposit on the reflector, which will damage it.

The optional Bi -Xenon® headlight bulbs contain trace amounts of mercury. These bulbs should always be
disposed of by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
