I'm owning V60 T6 imported from Canada. The headlights were replaced with EU version. And this is how the beam pattern looks like

After replacement I did HCM reload in Volvo service. It didn't help. Service guy stated that the issues is with the headlight itself, like I've installed UK version.
Even though it was not possible, because the headlight I installed were taken from the European car and it worked fine there, I still bought another pair of headlights together with control modules just to eliminate this option and the issue is still there.

This is how the left headlight beam pattern looks on the tester.

It is directed rather to the left side which blinds everyone in the front.

I know some models have travel mode, when you can temporary change pattern from LHD to RHD, though there's no such option in my car.
Is it possible that this option was enabled and then it disappeared from the control panel. It may sound meaningless but I'm trying to consider all variants.

Did anyone face something similar?

Have you taken it in to Volvo or just a local service guy?

Also UK is in Europe (I know they left EU but not the continent LOL) so the European headlights you got could be from UK (RH hand drive speck).

I wondered if you could do a master reset on the car and set it up with right hand drive.

Uk is not part of Europe anymore since the Brexit..
Uk is rhd where the rest of European countries use lhd headlights….
Isn’t it possible that you can switch the headlight beam pattern inside the headlight by flipping the pattern from rhd to lhd by using “lever” like the P3 S80-Xc/V70 abl xenon headlights?!?

I can’t believe that you are Polish living in Poland and don’t understand the difference between European Union EU and Europe the continent. UK can’t leave Europe just like USA cannot leave North America. Don’t get politics mixed up with geography.

Regardless this is a Volvo forum and not geography class. I’m gone move on.

Best luck with the lights issue maybe someone can help more.

Skipping the arguments about the UK being a part of the EU, the headlights that were installed are for LHD spec. Moreover the beam on the right side has a proper pattern.
I've been to the authorised Volvo service with this problem (should I mention how they treat you when you bring them imported car, arrogants) they did HCM reload and it didn't help. They said "Sorry this car is not supposed to be in Poland, so we can't do anything here" 😡

I don't think it's possible to do something like that inside the LED lamps, as it comes in one piece and you can not intervent there

That’s sucks I wonder if you can tell them you’re just “visiting” and you got pulled over and that “ milicja

” told you that Volvo dealership needs to adjust the headlights.

Also, never mention UK is in EU I told you UK is in Europe. But let’s move on

I have the option to turn the headlight to RHD. When I use this option, the headlights goes down, but have the same light patron as the LHD configuration.
My headlights are without the corner light option.

Finally resolved. The issue was with the software part. Didn't require headlight replacement
If someone from Poland come across this thread I can recommend these guys https://vipserwis.com/
