It can't be done - the headlamp type is programmed in to the CEM at manufacture and cannot be changed, even by the dealer.

So if you want to use Xenon's instead of Halogens - even Volvo original units - you will need to do some clever wiring so that the electrical load characteristics mimic that of a halogen lamp (55w resistive load). If you don't - at best you will be plagued by dashboard warnings, at worst they just wont work.
