850 has a little screw on the switch
V70 - can't do anything

It doesnt bother me that they are permanently on, but you cant just switch to sidelights only. But if they are supposed to be like that...

You need to electronically disable them.

you can disable any model 2000 on with a download via vida.
did it on my dad's V40 04 plate from new because it has xenons, and they only just went last year .

If its your S40 then try this

Ignition at pos 0
Turn light switch to 'sidelights'
Ignition to pos II
Pull on full beam and hold
Turn light switch to '0'
Release full beam
Ignition off
