I suspect the problem is more systemic than daytime use, and is typical of many models of Volvo over the last decade. It's a spot problem on the S80's (more widespread on others, especially 70's) addressed in a post a couple months ago by n0v8or, who works as an engineer in the automotive industry.

Turning off the DRL's might help, but that would still result in 2 or 3 burnouts a year - still excessive. I would suggest a visit to an automotive electric shop where they might be able to tell the real story, and maybe put a resistor into the harness or something.
