Had a headlight bulb dail last week on my phase II S60. Have read that they are a real pain to change - undo this, loosen that, remove the other etc, even to the extent of "First, remove front bumper cover.............".

So, trundled off to my local Volvo dealer. The deal was "Buy a bulb and we'll fit for free". Bought two, (one just gone after 3.5 years, how long 'til the other does likewise ?), and one of their techies changed both, in the car park, without removing anything in under 10 minutes. Hugely impressed by my local dealer here in Lincoln. O.K. I can buy bulbs cheaper in Halfords but could they fit them ? Guess I'll never know.

Anyone had similar, or worse, experiences ?
