The Volvo V60 Cross Country uses H9 bulbs for high beam headlights and H7 or D3S bulbs for low beam headlights, with these bulb sizes specified for the model. The replacement chart covers 2015 through 2018 production years and details bulb size specifications for headlight applications.
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 documented model years of the Volvo V60 Cross Country, covering the 2015-2018 range without variation.
The H9 is a halogen bulb operating at 65 watts with a PGJ19-5 base, designed for high-intensity forward projection in dedicated high beam housings.
The low beam headlight position on the Volvo V60 Cross Country accommodates two distinct bulb types across 2015-2018, determined entirely by which headlamp system the vehicle was built with.
Vehicles equipped with halogen capsule headlamps use the H7 bulb for low beam output, while those fitted with HID headlamps require the D3S instead.
The H7 is a halogen bulb rated at 55 watts with a PX26d base, producing light through a tungsten filament enclosed in a quartz envelope filled with halogen gas.
The D3S is a high-intensity discharge bulb that generates light through an electrical arc between two electrodes within a xenon gas-filled quartz capsule, requiring a ballast and igniter to operate.
Because the D3S operates through a fundamentally different electrical and optical system than the H7, the two bulb types are not interchangeable, and substituting one for the other is not compatible with the opposing headlamp housing.
The D3S designation includes an integrated igniter within the bulb itself, which distinguishes it from the D3R variant and makes socket compatibility specific to housings designed for that configuration.
