Additional Notes

The H9 bulb is a halogen type operating at 65 watts with a PGJ19-5 base, and it serves as the high beam headlight bulb for the Volvo S90 across the 2017-2021 model years, with 2017-2020 entries specifying fitment only on vehicles equipped with halogen capsule headlamps.
The 9005 bulb, also known as HB3, uses a P20d base and operates at 65 watts. It was the high beam headlight bulb for the S90 in 1997-1998.
For low beam headlights, the H11 bulb applies to the 2018-2021 model years, while the 2017 model year uses the H7 bulb instead, both fitments restricted to halogen capsule headlamp configurations for 2017-2020.
The H11 and H7 bulbs share the same 55-watt power rating but use different bases, PGJ19-2 and PX26d respectively, making them non-interchangeable despite the similar wattage.
The 9006 bulb, also known as HB4, uses a P22d base and operates at 55 watts. It was the low beam headlight bulb for the S90 in 1997-1998.
Although the 9005 and 9006 bulbs share a physically similar housing, they are not interchangeable due to different tab positions on their bases, a design feature intended to prevent incorrect installation.
The H9 and H11 bulbs used in the 2018-2021 S90 belong to the same PGJ19 base family but differ in their contact configurations, which prevents cross-fitment between high and low beam positions.
The 2017 low beam specification calling for H7 rather than H11 represents a distinct fitment requirement from the 2018-2021 years, and substituting one for the other would be incorrect due to base incompatibility.
