Replaced both side rear parking bulbs and hey presto - warning messages have disappeared!

Hi APS, what year is your car? my rear lights are all LEDs and only the indicator lights are "normal" ones.

Anyway sounds like this "Headlight Failure" warning is more common than I first thought on the later XC/V70 models and possibly associated with the outside temperature. Can anyone "in the know" find out if there is a Volvo Technical Notification on this please!!
