The product is a H7 bulb base with a H9 burner on that base. So, literally a Frankenstein bulb, but better.
The H7 base means it will fit anywhere a H7 bulb is taken.
The H9 burner means it puts out 2100 lumens instead of 1450 lumens like a H7.
The projectors on the 2015 S60 means that glare should be contained by the surfeit of lumens.

Those take 9004 bulbs, which were designed by Ford (unfortunately). Ford loves cost-cutting, and it designed the 9004 bulb to enable long-life and low system cost. The bulb doubles as both a low and a high beam, which isn't inherently bad. But the implementation here is particularly poor, since the 9004 bulb uses twin-transverse filament. The filaments are side-by-side and essentially block each other from "seeing" the entire headlamp reflector. Each filament is limited to about 50% of the headlamp. As a result, Volvo designed absolute units of headlamps--huge ones--to collect as much light as possible from the 9004 bulb. The 9004 bulb is bandied around as an example of what not to do in many lighting consultancy firms.
Okay, trivia lesson aside, the best 9004s are these:
