Default headlamp failure, service required

2011 V60, 1.6D Drive, Xenon Headlights. I've got the message, "headlamp failure, service required" and the relevant orange light on the dashboard. Lights appear operational. Dash warning doesn't specify a side for the "headlamp failure".

There is some other posts on here suggesting it might be the level sensor on the back axel. However, when the warning came up, my front indicator bulb was out (now replaced) and there is a little condensation in the same headlight. Could all be a coincidence.

I've attached my cheap reader to the car, and nothing comes up, (well, stuff about the injectors, but lets get in to that).

Obviously don't want to play guess the part to replace.

Will there be a code in there somewhere, but needs a decent reader ?
Will it need Vida, or should a decent reader do it ?
Got a local garage I use for servicing, but no Vida, as they are not a Volvo specialist.(located near Glasgow)

Any other suggestion to narrow down the fault ?
