Hi, are you able to adjust the beam setting, if one of your lights are too low?

[@alexwilmotpt]

I need to change mine from a set of right hand drive to left hand drive. I've noticed that a lot of aftermarket replacements state that they come "without bulbs and bulb holders". Now, your video has just made me go "No way am I taking it into a garage to swap the units out! I can do that easy peesey!", but I was wondering how much there is to do to swap over the aforementioned to the new units? Totally doable or a nightmare of wires and whatnot? Thanks!

[@theflybytourist8233]

When I drive from Sweden to UK in my 2016 XC70 I have to switch the angle of the headlight beam so as not to blind uk drivers. I simply go into the head unit of the lights and there is a small switch to adjust for uk usage. Easy job and don’t need to stick anything on the headlights. 😎

[@stefancgxz7799]

2 questions: Why would it be a different angle in UK as opposed to other countries? And you know there is always a switch inside that lets you regulate the angle right? Or do you mean something else?

[@theflybytourist8233]

@@stefancgxz7799 if you were driving a UK car in the EU the angle of the light would blind oncoming cars as it was ment to highlight pedestrians sides. Same vice-versa.. so when I drive my EU car in the UK i adjust the lamps to act like they were uk headlights so it doesn’t blind the oncoming traffic. Some modern cars might not need adjusting as it is a completely flat beam.

[@stretchmyjerky]

@@stefancgxz7799 the UK drive on the left hand side of the road and europe (sweden) drive on the right hand side of the road. Headlights are made to light up the side of the road where there are no oncoming cars so in the UK, the left headlight will be aimed slightly higher than the right one which is aimed at oncoming traffic. It will be the opposite for cars that drive on the opposite side of the road.

Wow driveline you are the best l try. To check my headlight and l don’t get it but your video help me lot thanks lot

"Coming home" function works in XC90 Mk1 with xenon lights too. Thx

[@joshuabrown1963]

The xenon head lights don't have manual adjusting headlights. And if you got a lefthand drive car in the settings you can choose temporarily change the lights to meet the UK requirements. And the same if you got a righthand drive

[@randelclemons5798]

Thank you.

I have a v70 2010 left hand Volvo, as I bought it over when I moved back to the UK. I placed stickers on the lamps to comply with UK laws. However are you saying that I can adjust my lamps so to comply with UK laws and can then remove the stickers?

[@johnconor7795]

Hi. Yours videos are helpful. I own an xc 70 , 2012 model , facelift one. Me question is : without visiting the main dealer , it's any chances to complety turn off the lights join the day time ?

[@blarkdexture8899]

no

[@johnwombacher2265]

my volvo headlight lens is foggy, is there any way to access and clean the interior of the glass lens?

[@janonthemtn]

I was told my 2016 platinum xc70 has a radar sensor. How do I check to see if operating?

[@junkyardmagic]

I thought my hi beam was broken the other day- then I remembered

[@wilbydoughboy2959]

My XC60 2010 has the same switches as your car and the 0 position used to function the same as yours but when my car was serviced by Volvo and the software was up dated many years ago the 0 position now functions the same as other position so the 0 position is obsolete. .

[@JP5isalive]

I wish my 2005 S60 had benefitted from those metal retaining stalks in the headlights! Bulbs were a pain to change with sausage fingers. It was an "air box out job" on the passenger side

[@JP5isalive]

[@drivelife.channel]

I do love the p2 s60 though!

[@stefanholis3]

Are the 1 jellyf beam the same strong as the 3 jellyf beam?

[@incargeek]

In the V50 there is no warning beep if you exit the car while the sidelights are on. I flattened the battery twice because of that.

[@mkmkl66]

hey folks, is it possible to somehow disable the Dipped beams always on feature?

[@seancordova7811]

I wondered how to change the bulbs in my s80

[@Bellakelpie]

On the top of the light "box" there are 2 "buttons". 1 marked "L-R" and the other "Up-Down." Are they for adjusting the horizontal and the vertical beam throw and if so, what tool is required? ( Info from my 2016 V40 ,with HID Main Beam and H7 Bulb Hi Beam.)

[@drivelife.channel]

LR is for when your drive in Europe and the other is to adjust the height:)

[@Bellakelpie]

@@drivelife.channel Thank you. 🤩 It is the height adjustment I am looking for. The Hi-Beam lights on my car throw far too low. My local Volvo Dealer told me they were non adjustable.🤔🙄🙄. I’ll have a careful fiddle and see if I can get them up a bit.

[@Bellakelpie]

2 weeks on and I made height adjustments via the 2 so termed, "buttons," just above the headlights on my (P1 chassis) Volvo V40. I discovered that I could turn them with my fingers, but that they were hard to turn. The embossed directions next to each the buttons indicated that only 1 degree of up or down change was possible. Each button allowed the entire headlight assembly to be raised or lowered, therefore moving both low and high beam throws together. (I really only wanted high beam adjustment, but it was both or nothing.) I wound each button through1 complete turn to raise the assembly and the end result is an overall improvement over the start position. I did not want to end up blinding oncoming traffic on low beam, so have decided to just go with what I now have, rather than chance any further. 😁

[@clivebravejones9516]

Did you just say you always drive with your High Beams on?! 😮

[@hoseabongagcaoili7966]

Good day. Recently got a 2003 xc90. I switch it to zero(off) but the headlight still turned ON. Is this normal?

[@drivelife.channel]

Yes totally normal :)

[@doctorsocrates4413]

Why did Volvo not just make position zero the sidelights/day running lights like on the older models.?..I have a 2008 s40 saloon and I always flick the switch to position one to preserve headlight bulb life.

[@obuchalki]

How to swith light off at position 0?

[@AcousticWarrior]

I have a Volvo v50 2011 D3 it only has one button for rear fog lamp but no button for front fog lamps. But it does have front fog lamps which come on as daytime running lights but when I switch the Normal headlights on the the front fogs go off and no way of switching them back on. Anyone any ideas how to have both on

[@adibsdall]

As they are day running lights and not fog lights you would not want them on with dipped headlights anyway as they would be too bright at night and cause dazzle.

[@janonthemtn]

I am at a Volvo deal right now and just found out those are their version of daytime running lights and NOT fog lights. Wierd. There is no switch for them. They can only be disabled. I have a 2016 xc70 I recently purchased. I preferred an older model, less technology.

[@Zerofightervi]

It's just a pity the rear lights aren't as easy to remove as the headlights.

[@drivelife.channel]

Yes, although they aren't particularly difficult on the s80 😁

[@Zerofightervi]

@@drivelife.channel I watched a tutorial for the V70 rears, really on looking forward to doing that.

[@UnderTheRadar1976]

Much easier then a clio got to take most of the car apart lol

I left mine on 0 caus I thought that meant off,my car died,so frustrating!

1 jellyfish vs 2 jellyfish. 😆 Love it.

My 2011 . High beam has always worked in 0 position !

[@drivelife.channel]

It works when I flash but doesn't stay on 🤔

[@hungryboy424]

@@drivelife.channel Mine stays on as far as i know ? i will have to check now, you have me thinking about it ??

[@drivelife.channel]

@@hungryboy424 Let me know because it might just be me 🤣🤣

[@wilbydoughboy2959]

Thats how mine worked before software update, I think it must be due to Volvo seeing a safety issue with there being no main beam when needed so they decided to do away with position 0 operating any differently from the other position.

[@hungryboy424]

@@drivelife.channel Just checked again, mine stay on until i click back to dipped !
