2001 XC70 tail light replacement

Post by melobsterman »

OK what is the trick to replacing one of the tail lights in the XC wagon? I pulled the inner panel off, removed the cover to gain access to the lights. a couple of them are very straight forward....just reach in and twist. Volvo was very accommodating and even provided a tab to hold onto while twisting. That is not the issue...its the upper bulb. I can reach it but then what? does it twist like the lower ones or is there another method to get to the bulb? thanks in advance for your help.
