Aren't the Volvo ones Phillips Xenon bulbs? That is certainly what was in mine and my brothers.

Agree with 400-ascona, my 2007 with bendy bi-xenons blew a bulb a few weeks ago. The bulbs I replaced were Philips, paid about £70-75 for a pair on fleabay.

I have kept the older non blown bulb as a spare for when another blows and I'm waiting for a new pair to be delivered.

I think they should be changed in pairs due to colour degredation with time.
