Just had the first night time jaunt in the new, to me, V60.

Whilst the main beam is pretty much spot on the dipped beams seem to be very poor. I have vehicles twice the age of the V60 and they are really good.

The suspect is that the dipped beam may well be the original bulbs, plus they are running all the time maybe they are "tired", so I intend to change them for, perhaps Philips / Osram type night vision versions .

Or maybe the new Osram H7 LED NIGHTBREAKERS...??

Are they just standard type, H7 ???
Heat problems?
Any recommendations?
The Volvo Bulbs are H7 Long-Life from the dealer. you get several years being used as Day Running lights.
First thing to check is the alignment.. is the reflector ok, and the lens not faded?
