The Volvo S60 Cross Country uses an H9 bulb size for high beam headlight operation and H7 or D3S bulb sizes for low beam headlight operation. Replacement chart data covers 2016 through 2018 model years with corresponding bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
ECE standard (Europe & worldwide). Mercury-free HID (xenon) discharge bulb with PK32d-5 base and integral ignitor, for projector-type housings. 42V, 35W.
The H9 bulb serves as the high beam headlight across all three model years (2016-2018) of the Volvo S60 Cross Country. It is a halogen bulb operating at 65 watts with a P29t base, belonging to the H-series family of single-filament automotive bulbs.
The low beam headlight position on the S60 Cross Country accommodates two distinct bulb types depending on the headlamp system installed at the factory. H7 halogen bulbs are fitted in vehicles with halogen capsule headlamps, while D3S high-intensity discharge bulbs are fitted in vehicles equipped with HID headlamps. This split applies uniformly across the 2016-2018 model years.
The H7 bulb uses a PX26d base and operates as a single-filament halogen lamp rated at 55 watts. It is one of the most widely used low beam bulb types in European vehicle manufacturing.
The D3S is a discharge arc bulb designed specifically for projector-style HID headlamp housings. It operates without an external igniter, as the ignition circuitry is integrated into the bulb itself, and it runs on high-voltage alternating current supplied by a ballast unit within the vehicle.
The H9 and H7 bulbs both use physically distinct base configurations, making them non-interchangeable with each other despite both being halogen types. The H9 uses a PGJ19-5 base, while the H7 uses a PX26d base.
The D3S bulb is not interchangeable with halogen bulb types such as the H7. Substituting one for the other is not possible without modifying the headlamp housing and electrical system, as HID and halogen systems operate on fundamentally different electrical principles.
Vehicles fitted with HID low beam headlamps retain the H9 halogen bulb for the high beam function. This means the S60 Cross Country with HID headlamps operates a mixed system, using discharge technology for low beams and halogen technology for high beams.
