I went to the local VW parts place (since the closest Volvo parts place was across toll roads, and a much longer drive) and cleaned out his remaining selection of H3 bulbs. As it turns out, the VW place had the best prices locally (and also had reasonable bulbs). Of course we don't have any WalMarts out here, thankfully. Altho, I'd steer clear of any WM branded crap.
I bought bulbs at two car parts store. They both fit and had the right voltage, but one did not work and the other one blew out by the time I drove down the street. There are two other car parts stores in the area. Maybe I'll give them a chance.
