2011 C30 Replace low beam headlights

Nancela4 · Post by **Nancela4** » 13 Nov 2013, 21:29

I found YouTube videos on removing the headlight case/system thing and I did that successfully.

I opened the case/system thing successfully.

Then, it did not look like the youtube video (the one with the red Volvo). I could not do it. The lowbeam or whatever was staring back at me looked pretty encased in there and I explored a tiny bit trying to find what would release it so I could take it out and replace the bulb (will be replacing both and keep the other working one as a spare).

So here I am with the precious low beam headlight replacements and driving with one headlight (like the song from the Wallflowers).

Any other videos? Could someone make a video for the next part which is actually replacing the bulb?

Could someone take some pictures and then email me here with a step by step on it?

I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
N

Take a photo with the lamp unit set off car and the cover on rear removed. I know we can guide you if you attach it here so we can see. Click "full editor" and the attach file tab will be there for your use.

Howdy Doody... Well my Dad took over - he flew in to visit (no not for this lol) and took it to Volvo. It is still under warranty and they have to order the light bulb. Oh well. But thanks!

Hi. I just wanted to say that my father came to visit me from overseas and he took the car to Volvo... it was still under warranty and the light was changed... also the ones that I had ordered from this website wasn't the right one. They were very nice and refunded my money. Anyway.... all is well and I just wanted to let you all know...
