Re: Quick Q re: headlights (volvoinva)
I have an 01 so I am not sure if the bulb replacement is the same but it really isn't that difficult. As far as the Silverstars go, save your money. I had my first burn out at or bout 55K, I bought this used so I don't know if they were changed before or not. So I installed the Silverstars. About 10K later I had a bulb burn out. So I replaced both and saved the one good bulb. Again about 10K later another burned bulb, so I used my spare this time. About 5K later it burns another. I was asking the manager at the local Advance Auto about the problems I was having. He said the Silverstars burn hotter and therefore tend to fail sooner than the standard type bulb. I opted for the standard bulb and see no real difference in illumination. My opinion, by a standard bulb and install yourself. The owners manual has a pretty detailed instructions for this. Good Luck
