Replacing the Headlamp Assembly: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Volvo S40, 2003 Volvo S40, 2002 Volvo S40, 2001 Volvo S40, and 2000 Volvo S40. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Never touch the glass on a new bulb with your fingers. Oil and grease condense from the heat and will burn onto the bulb glass. This will reduce the light strength of the bulb and reduce the operational life.
