your dealer will get you one , they are much less common than the 5w version in the same package .

I'd check the bulb on the other side too before you go. Not sure how your S60 works but a lot of vehicles use a comparison of the current drawn by one bulb compared to the other (nearside and offside) to detect a blown bulb, the same person may have put a pair of 5w in to overcome that.
