Volvo V70 Headlight Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The H9 bulb, used for high beam on the Volvo V70 from 2005-2010 with halogen capsule headlamps, is a single-filament halogen type rated at 12V and 65W. It follows the ECE standard and uses a PGJ19-5 base, with approval covering Europe, worldwide markets, and the United States.
• The 9005 bulb, used for high beam on the V70 from 2001-2004, follows the ANSI standard applicable to the US and Canada. It is a single-filament halogen type rated at 12V and 65W with a P20d base. Although its wattage matches the H9, the two bulbs use different bases and are not interchangeable.
• The H7 bulb appears in both high beam and low beam positions across multiple model years. It is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 55W with a PX26d base, approved under the ECE standard and also accepted in the US and Japan.
• On the Volvo V70, the 2007-2010 model years with HID headlamps use an H7 for the high beam alongside a D1S for the low beam, meaning the two beam positions operate on fundamentally different technologies within the same headlamp assembly.
• The D1S bulb, used for low beam on HID-equipped V70 models from 2007-2010, is a xenon discharge type rated at 85V and 35W. It incorporates an integral ignitor and is designed specifically for projector-type housings, making it incompatible with reflector-type housings.
• The D2R bulb, used for low beam on HID-equipped V70 models from 2004-2006, is also a xenon discharge type rated at 85V and 35W, but it requires an external ignitor and is designed for reflector-type housings. Despite sharing the same voltage and wattage as the D1S, the two bulbs use different bases and housing requirements and are not interchangeable.
• The H11 bulb, used for low beam on halogen-equipped V70 models from 2005-2010, is a single-filament halogen type rated at 12V and 55W with a PGJ19-2 base. Although it shares the same voltage and wattage as the H7, the two use different base types and are not interchangeable.
• For the 2004 V70 with halogen headlamps, the low beam shifted from H7 to H11 starting in 2005, while the high beam shifted from the ANSI 9005 to the ECE H9 between 2004 and 2005, reflecting a transition from ANSI-standard to ECE-standard bulbs across both positions.
