Sounds like the wiring on that left side may have a short. I think your thoughts are in the right direction.

Make sure all your lamps are of the correct wattage. Mixing different wattage lamps can I believe cause the warning system to activate.

Does your V70 have lights located between the front wheel well and the front door? If so one may be out.
