2004 xc70. Drivers side brake light

Post by DXC70 »

I have a brake light out and haven't figured out how to get to the bulb. I know it is just below the back up light but how do you get to it?

Goto:

The rear brake lights will be on page 125
Example of Precision: Measure with a Micrometer, mark it with Chalk, and then cut it with an Axe.

The new bulb is in and the brake light is working.
I realized today...I hate these Volvo and the designer who designed them. LOL

Glad you sorted it.

Now, let me tell you a secret:
The Swedish Elves built your car around the brake light... :lol:
But this is something I could live with.

Lol, I believe it. I was able to remove the bulb holder but do you think I was able to reinstall the bulb holder. Not a chance.lol

I had to remove the brake light assemble to insert the bulb and lock the holder in.
Piece of cake. :(
