The Volvo XC60 high beam headlight uses H9 or H7 bulb sizes, while low beam headlight applications require H7, D3S, or H11 bulb sizes depending on model configuration. The replacement chart covers 2010 through 2018 production 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 Volvo XC60 high beam headlight takes one of two bulb types depending on the headlamp system fitted: the H9 for halogen capsule headlamps and the H7 for HID headlamps, across the full 2010-2018 model year range covered in these specifications.
The H9 is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 65W, using a PGJ19-5 base, while the H7 is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 55W with a PX26d base. Both conform to ECE standards and carry US approval, though the H7 also holds approval in Japan.
The low beam headlight on halogen capsule XC60 models uses the H11 for 2010-2017, while the 2018 model year shifts to the H7 for that same position. The H11 is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 55W with a PGJ19-2 base.
Two distinct HID bulb types appear in the low beam position across the XC60 range. The D1S is specified for HID-equipped vehicles from 2010-2013, and the D3S takes over for 2014-2018 HID-equipped vehicles.
The D1S and D3S are not interchangeable. The D1S operates at 85V with a PK32d-2 base, while the D3S operates at 42V with a PK32d-5 base. Both are rated at 35W and both integrate the ignitor directly into the bulb, requiring projector-type housings.
A key distinction between D1S and D3S is mercury content. The D3S is mercury-free, whereas the D1S is not specified as such, which has implications for disposal and regional environmental regulations.
The headlamp system type fitted to a specific XC60 is a critical fitment factor. Halogen capsule and HID variants of the same model year require entirely different bulb families in both the high and low beam positions, and the two systems are not cross-compatible.
All five bulb types listed across these specifications conform to ECE standards, indicating suitability for European and worldwide markets, with the halogen types additionally carrying approvals in other regions.
