Given you have reflector headlights i would just uprate the halogen to a +150 version, the beam using led will be poor.

Best option would be to try to find a set of genuine Volvo Xenon headlights. Probably one of the best upgrades I have ever done on our car. They are about £150 second hand, if you can find a set
