Volvo Vehicle Bulb Guide

Volvo Bulb References for Barbados Drivers

Original headlamp and front-fog findings checked directly against 35 NISSEI/POLARG records on 22 October 2026, across 19 model groups. These imported-vehicle catalogue scopes are not proof of Barbados, UK or every right-hand-drive application. Match original market, production period, literal chassis, body and factory lighting to the actual vehicle. This is not a confirmed vehicle shopping list or Riglow LED-conversion compatibility guide.

POLARG Headlamp and Front-Fog Findings

Each brief entry preserves its own source scope. Where stated below, a blank field means the source did not specify it, not that the vehicle lacks that function or equipment.

240 Estate, 1981–1993

H4 low; separate high and fog blank. Chassis field blank, do not invent a code. POLARG 240 Estate record.

440・460, 1988–1997

H4 low; separate high blank; H3※ fog. Source groups these model names, chassis blank; not every regional version confirmed. POLARG 440・460 record.

740・760, 1982–1992

H4 low; separate high blank; H3※ fog. Chassis blank; preserve grouped source scope. POLARG 740・760 record.

780, 1988–1992

H4 low; H3 high; H3※ fog. Preserve the separate H3 high as printed, not H1 by assumption. Chassis blank. POLARG 780 record.

850, 1992 onward, 8B

H1 low/high; fog blank. No body subtype printed; do not relabel as sedan-only. POLARG 850 general record.

850 wagon, 1992 onward, 8B

H1 low/high; fog blank. Preserve the separate wagon record; matching headlamp findings do not establish every other lamp as identical. POLARG 850 wagon record.

940, 1990–1994, 9B, includes wagon

H4 low; separate high blank; H3※ fog. POLARG early 940 record.

940, 1994–1998, 9B, includes wagon

H4 low; separate high blank; H3※ fog. Keep separate periods and year-only 1994 overlap. POLARG later 940 record.

960, 1990–1994, 9B, includes wagon

H4 low; separate high blank; H3※ fog. POLARG early 960 record.

960, 1994–1996, 9B, includes wagon

H1 low/high; H3※ fog. Preserve change from H4 and overlapping 1994 boundary; identify actual assembly. POLARG later 960 record.

C70, 1997 onward, 8B

H7 low/high; H1※ fog. Do not expand source body/chassis scope to all C70 generations. POLARG C70 record.

S40, 1997–2004, 4B, halogen two-lamp system

S40, 2004 onward, MB52, bi-xenon

D2S HID listed in both low and high fields (85V35W / 3502K); H11※ fog. This does not establish two separate HID bulbs or an interchangeable conversion. Preserve the bi-xenon scope. POLARG S40 bi-xenon record.

S40, 2004 onward, MB52, alternative source record

H7 or D2S HID low; HB3/9005 high; H11※ fog. Keep this separate from the bi-xenon high-field finding; do not infer every assembly pairing. POLARG S40 alternative record.

S60, 2001 onward, RB52, halogen specification

H7 low; HB3/9005 high; H1※ fog. POLARG S60 halogen record.

S80, 2006 onward, AB63, halogen specification

H11 low; H9 high (12V65W / 0-30); H8※ fog (12V35W / 0-22). These are distinct original bulb types, not blanket H8/H9/H11 interchangeability. POLARG S80 halogen record.

S80, 2006 onward, AB63, HID specification

D1S HID low, part blank; H7 high; H8※ fog (12V35W / 0-22). Preserve different high beam from halogen record. POLARG S80 HID record.

S90, 1997 onward, 9B63

H1 low/high; H3※ fog. This exact source chassis scope does not establish newer reused S90-name applications. POLARG S90 record.

V40, 1997 onward, 4B, two-lamp system

H4 low; separate high blank; H1※ fog. POLARG V40 two-lamp record.

V40, 1997 onward, 4B, four-lamp system

Source Qualifications

Only headlamp/front-fog positions were checked, not indicators, brake/tail, interior or other bulbs. Keep all ※ markers unresolved; review original source notes and actual assemblies before purchase. Blank fields do not establish absent functions or equipment. H4 in a low field does not establish absent high beam. Periods are year-only, not exact production months; overlapping boundaries require actual production and factory-lighting identification, not registration year alone. Open-ended dates do not establish continued production, later generations or unchanged equipment. Blank chassis fields remain unfilled.

Source ratings/parts generally print H4 12V60/55W / 0-02; H1 12V55W / 0-08; H3 12V55W / 0-13; H7 12V55W / 0-11; H11 12V55W / 0-20; HB3/9005 12V60W(65W) / 0-05. Preserve that literal HB3 rating order. D2S prints 85V35W / 3502K and D2R 85V35W / 3503K; D1S prints 85V35W with part blank. Do not transfer D2S/D2R parts to D1S. D1S, D2S and D2R are distinct; halogen/HID alternatives and bi-xenon field labels do not establish interchangeable bulbs, bulb counts or every assembly combination.

Identify Your Volvo and Its Lighting

Right-hand drive alone does not confirm fitment. Check the original regional specification, exact chassis, body, production period, trim and actual factory halogen/HID/LED package. Confirm the existing bulb markings and socket using your vehicle’s documentation and clear photos. Do not assume all light locations share a technology because the headlights are HID or LED.

Replacement and LED Conversion Checks

Confirm exact bulb type, connector, locating tabs, retention, dust-cap and cooling clearance, voltage and intended beam/function before choosing a product. Original bulb findings do not establish LED-conversion compatibility or beam performance. CANBUS labels do not guarantee freedom from warnings, flicker or other electrical issues. H8/H9/H11 names and similar connectors are not blanket compatibility evidence; the exact LED maker must explicitly support the original type. Factory HID/LED systems need their own verified solution.

Ask Riglow for help with the original market, model/chassis, production year, body, lighting package and photos of the bulb, markings and connector. Use the main bulb guide for qualified shopping references only after confirming the original bulb type. No product is confirmed as Volvo fitment by this page.
