Intermittent problems with the power
I'd first check wire harness at door hinge area. Try window with door open then in different positions. Wires in that area break within enclosure. grasp harness and move it around, basically try to make widow work. starting car increases voltage to 14 volts. car not running battery should be at just over 12. if applicable You mite have fuse for that door, it's not "blown" but mite be dirty and not making good contact. window and lock use same sources for power and grounds. Then again issue mite be in driver side door but same wire issue . Good luck,

I want to change my headlight assembly on my 2000
Normally pretty simple and easy. Don't know about Volvo-maybe some models need a lot of stuff removed to get to the assembly. Look on you tube video for headlight removal on Volvos-probably some or many.
That cost sounds outrageous-$260 for both headlights? I'm sure you could do it yourself, maybe just need a little guidance. Talk privately to a Volvo mechanic.
