upgrade to Xenon from Halogen?

2012 XC70.

Can I replace the entire Halogen light with an entire Volvo Xenon light?

If it IS do-able, what is involved?

Remove H, Install X, drive to dealer for programming change?

If there's a good how-to video on the steps, that would help, a lot.

Thanks.

It was NOT on when I dropped it off.

I was heading to Volvo any way, so I asked them to check it out.

Diagnosis the first - based on OBD
1 bad spark, 1 bad ignition coil, 1 bad antenna ring.

Recommendation:
5 new spark plugs ...

2005 v70 2.5t - low end acceleration / 2500rpm max out

recent problems -
hesitant acceleration, and dip at 1800-2000 rpm, occasional irregular idle -

Indie Volvo Tech found some codes for Fuel Pressure Sensor, which he replaced.

low end acceleration still seems lacking and even when pushed, rpm tops out at 2500, as if needle were stuck. Can still ...
