What Lighting System Does the 2019 Volvo XC60 Have?

The 2019 Volvo XC60 features an extensive lighting system with 12 bulb positions. It uses halogen technology with H7 LED low beams and H9 LED high beams in a dual-bulb configuration. The XC60 has been available from 2009 to 2019, and the 2019 model falls in the late-generation years.

Can You Put LED Bulbs in a 2019 Volvo XC60?

To upgrade the 2019 Volvo XC60 headlights to LED, you will need a H7 LED LED kit for the low beams and a H9 LED LED kit for the high beams. Start with the low beams since they are used most often and have the biggest impact on nighttime visibility. For the fog lights, a LED Fog Light LED bulb provides a clean white output that pairs well with LED headlights.

How to Replace Bulbs on a 2019 Volvo XC60

The H7 bulb uses a spring clip or wire retainer that holds the bulb in the socket. To remove the old bulb, disconnect the wiring harness first, then twist the bulb counter-clockwise and pull it out. Volvo vehicles are known for tight engine bay clearances around the headlight assembly. You may need to remove the air intake duct, battery cover, or wheel well liner to access the bulbs. Budget 30 to 45 minutes per side for your first replacement. When installing the new bulb, avoid touching the glass with bare fingers. Skin oils create hot spots that shorten bulb life. Wear clean gloves or handle the bulb by its plastic base only. The fog lights are accessed from underneath the front bumper. You may need to remove a few plastic clips or screws from the fender liner to reach the LED Fog Light fog light socket.

How Long Do 2019 Volvo XC60 Headlight Bulbs Last?

Standard halogen headlights on the 2019 Volvo XC60 have an expected lifespan of 500 to 1,000 hours, which works out to roughly 2 to 3 years of normal use. Signs of a failing halogen bulb include noticeably dimmer output, a yellowish tint compared to the other headlight, or intermittent flickering. At 7 years old, the original bulbs on your XC60 are likely overdue for replacement. Even if they still illuminate, reduced brightness significantly impacts nighttime safety. When one headlight burns out, replace both sides at the same time. Bulbs from the same batch age at similar rates, and mismatched brightness is distracting to oncoming drivers.

What Bulbs Are Compatible with the 2019 Volvo XC60?

The H7 low beam bulb on the 2019 Volvo XC60 is a specific fitment. There are no widely recognized cross-compatible alternatives, so make sure to purchase the exact H7 size. For the high beams, the H9 is interchangeable with H11, H8. Using the wrong bulb size can cause improper beam patterns that reduce your visibility and blind other drivers. It can also cause overheating inside the headlight housing, potentially warping the plastic lens or reflector. Always verify the bulb number before purchasing.

LED bulbs used off-road or in auxiliary lights are legal everywhere. For on-road headlight use, legality varies by state.

A pair of halogen H7 LED bulbs costs $15 to $40, while LED conversion kits run $25 to $60 per pair. If you have a shop do the work, expect an additional $20 to $50 in labor per bulb. Replacing them yourself at home saves the labor cost and usually takes under 30 minutes.

Halogen bulbs produce a warm yellow light (around 3200K), last 500 to 1000 hours, and draw more power. LED bulbs emit a brighter white light (5000-6000K), last 25,000+ hours, and use less energy. LED upgrades for the H7 LED position are available as direct plug-and-play replacements.
