The passenger side light works intermittently this has been a slight issue since 2006 when I have had new lights installed on a regular basis. Despite me going to the dealer for over the last 11 years or so it is only getting more frequent in age. It is not the bulb but the wiring in the vehicle that is faulty. This can be dangerous especially when combined with the fog that the lights have put on the glass over the years. I have paid to have the fog removed twice and the wiring harness checked. After living in 5 different states I see this in almost every S60 in the mid 2000 always one head light out. It will come back on when you encounter a bump so it is a missed connection at some point in the wire harness. This creates such limited vision in night and I am constantly getting honked at. I have pulled over and jiggled the wires which will allow the light to work until you turn a corner, hit a bump or it just fades. I believe the headlamps should all be replaced and the wiring fixed this is such an issue in the evenings.

My complaint is against sylvania ultra headlights, purchased from autozone. "the headlights failed shortly after 2 months, they are the most expensive headlights they sell (thinking they are the best) I purchased a pair. Had them replaced at a local mechanic - they were installed correctly. - this action was repeated for 3 sets of replacements. The 4th time around I did not purchase headlights - I took it too the mechanic and asked him to check the wiring and replace the headlights yet again. The mechanic called autozone - they asked do you want the good ones or the bad ones ? the mechanic said looking at me - the good ones of coarse. Then the sales person on the phone described how sucky the other ones are to the mechanic. About 30 mins later - autozone delivered the headlights that were sylvania but not the ultra.when I was in autozone - they claimed these ultras are the best. These bogus ultra headlights are a safety hazard and it appears they know they are bad - I smell a scam being perpetrated against the public producing a safety hazard and unnecessary expense/rip off.

On my 2006 Volvo S60 turbo, the headlight lenses cloudy due to oxidization. This is a safety and durability issue.
