I replaced my D1S Xenons on my MY2009 XC90 last weekend

Remove headlamps - super easy - and take to kitchen table, lay on a towel to avoid scratching the lens
Take dust cap off headlamp with counterclockwise turn and remove
Look for 2 x black plastic levers sticking out of the headlamp where the bulb meets the headlamp
Release clamp on bulb by turning levers counterclockwise about 1/4 turn.
Remove bulb carefully
Release locking tab und remove cable connector at bulb - a small screwriver will help

When refitting ensure bulb is seated properly, you will notice the beam pattern is off if not. I had to reseat one bulb.

I bought genuine Osram D1S Xenarcs for 60 CHF each = 46 GBP each from a repurable retailer.
