Here's my story on my '06 XC70. Got the bulb out pretty easy after removing the Air Filter box. After 40 min of trying to get the new bulb in, I went in to tell the wife that I couldn't get the bulb in. She came out, and her hand fit right in, turn-click, done. 1 min for the wife.

Is your wife left handed? That would help A LOT!
My 01 XC70 had an intermittent front left headlight several weeks ago. I tend to leave my light switch on all the time so I don't have to think about it. But for several days, whenever I started her up, the dash warning would tell me that the left low beam was not working. No big deal during the day, but at night, I'd get out of the car and give the lens a bit of a thump with my fist and the bulb would come on.
Put up with this for about 2 weeks, but since then, it has not re-occurred.
Do you think its the filament, the connector or the wiring?

I know that I change these bulbs often and daily for customers but, replacing that bulb isn't too terrible. My advice to you is, if it seems daunting, try and look it up on YouTube. Most of the time, someone's already tried to do what you need done and is willing to document it! Let me know if I can be of any help.
I had an indy Volvo shop replace the driver's side xenon bulb for $148CDN, part and labour. It took about 20 minutes removing air box and other parts.
Drivers went out last night on son's car. So I ordered these from Amazon and should be here at the latest by Thursday. http://www.amazon.com/GE-H7-55NHP-BP...ilpage_o00_s00
Looked today and the drivers side seem's easy -- The Passenger side I might have to use the wife to get her to do it. But both look accessible for my 6'5" body with hands that match.
Am I missing something ??
The wiring plastic sheath is crumbling to movement on the upper end - So I will replace that as well.
This is why I turn OFF the DRLs on my cars.
You can't have a headlight on ALL the time and not expect problems 10 years down the road
