yea - that was my initial thought aswell after reading up about this when I got the car 3y ago.
30 pages of complaints on lights for early models, petitions and debates, with general consensus "Volvo doesnt acknowledge its a problem..." and then, 2008, FL model with "upgraded" lamps.
If original were "nothing problematic about" why upgrading this part? :>

I keep reminding myself how "great" OEM lamps are when driving to NCT (MOT) every year...
