Tail Light Lens Replacement

Post by Baron46 »

I've got a cracked right rear tail light lens on my 2000 S-80. I've been able to locate a replacement lens and need to know any tips on making a good installation. What trunk panels will I need to remove, and are any specialized tools (beyond a 10mm socket) required before I get started? Any advice is appreciated

Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

You have the only tool you need. Disconnect the connectors, remove 4 nuts and pull the unit out.

Replacement is in reverse order. The nuts should be tightened to 10nm - in other words don't turn them until they scream for mercy.
