#1 of 11 S60R bi-xenon headlights by volvojoe Mar 04, 2007 (10:26 am)
I own a 2004 Volvo S60R with 75k miles on it. I'm very happy with the 3 year test drive to date except for one thing; the bi-xenon headlight low beams aim too low. I'm not sure if they have always aimed too low or if it happened following routine maintenance at my Volvo dealership. I've had the Volvo dealership check the lights and they said they were at spec. By the way, the high beams work great. Does any one have a similar experience? If so, any possible fixes - please advise.

Replying to: volvojoe (Mar 04, 2007 10:26 am) A common issue with the S60R. Somewhere on the net I did find a service bulletin from Volvo to their mechanics that specifies the fix, however most folks shy away because if the procedure is not done absolutely correct will can really screw things up. I myself chose to deal with it.

Replying to: volvojoe (Mar 04, 2007 10:26 am) I had the same trouble when my 2005 was new, I had to threaten to sue them before they fixed it. Now at 36,000 miles the lights have dipped again, the dealer is stalling the fix eventhough they have a record of it being done before. My Volvo dealer is pretty bad and only does what he has to do. anyway, there is a software patch, just keep on them

Replying to: volvojoe (Mar 04, 2007 10:26 am) Hi, if you have more details about "how to deal with that issue", I'm interested. I'm in Europe and I'd like to brief my dealer about how they should address this problem while benefitting form others'e experience. Thanks for your help,
#9 of 11 2008 S60 Bi-Xenon Headlights by 66chevelle Apr 21, 2009 (8:40 pm)
I have had my Volvo serviced at which time I complained about the headlights are aimed too low. The dealer said they ran updated software and cleared all the headlight codes and that should fix it. The lights are still too low and the dealer is saying they will check but if they don't find anything then there is nothing they can do. I have heard that the lights are in sleep mode and the computer is not recognizing them. Can this be fixed? What can I do? Replies to this message: cjanfils (Apr 21, 2009 10:52 pm)

Replying to: 66chevelle (Apr 21, 2009 8:40 pm) Well, in the meantime, I got a solution from my dealer and after having collected some info on the web. Probably they did a software upgrade with the lights NOT turned on while it should have been turned on. This is the reason. They did it again with the lights turned on.   If this does not fix the problem, there is a manuel solution to fix this. Here are the pics I got from another owner : http://s60r.fadainc.com/pics/adjust_headlight_switch.jpg http://s60r.fadainc.com/pics/adjust_headlight_wrench.jpg my 50 cents
