V40 2016MY 2.0 T3 Manual...Lights dimming when under load

MetB4 · Jul 11th, 2017, 09:42

Hi,

When accelerating under load on the motorway last night, we notced the headlights dimmed to a more "orangey" colour and slowly returned to full brightness after a second or two of easing off the throttle. It did this every time it went under load.

The car has only done 12000 miles and is on an August 2015 plate (2016MY), new 2.0 Litre 152 HP model.

Oh, and does anyone know if Volvo will be releasing a Polestar upgrade for this model in the coming year?

Many thanks in anticipation.

2016 car that is well within warranty. Straight down to the dealer you go.
