Headlights/Brakelights Out Already?? S60 2001

I've had my S-60 for just over a year (25k miles) and already one headlight, one rear blinker light and one brake light had to be replaced! Has this been a problem for anyone else?

SteveF is right . . . sort of.

Up here in New England, replacement bulbs are free if installed by the Dealer, under warranty, but the labor is not included. I was quoted $34.50 to replace a "free" headlight, and I would have to make an appointment and leave the car. Instead I can bought a replacement at the local parts discounter for less than $15, and changed it myself in 10 minutes.

Common to Volvos, especially when Daytime Running Lights are used. Carry extras.
I replaced that many in the first 3 months of ownership.
I've found that aftermarket bulbs last almost twice as long as those you buy at Volvo dealers.
