Just replaced mine on a facelift xc60 was very similar but instead of the clips holding the back piece in it was some screws, 4 of them holding it in, but otherwise exactly the same
I just changed mine but disconnected the battery before. It says some high voltage could remain and be dangerous... so it says... One question though, do you confirm we can replace those bulbs with LED bulbs? Do you know some references? Thanks and greetings from France.
Fair point on high voltage but many modern cars don't like battery being disconnected and you can cause more issues! It is correct they run at high voltage though, so I don't know if you can easily replace with led as they would need to handle the high voltage ballast/supply. I've not checked as find the Xenon very powerful
So is that bulb and ballast all in one unit? They have got real small, I used Chinese ones in 2008 and the ballast was massive and prone to water ingress, resulting in flickering
I'm really unsure, seems too little for a full ballast, there is a module on the XC60 called the Xenon hid controller so it could be split in some way. Unfortunately I couldn't figure out the electronics other than it being a sort of starter/inrush type circuit
Thank you so much. I just successfully replaced my bulb!
