Front Headlight

Post by genna »

Does anyone know how to change the front headlight? I received a rock and it totally smashed the lense. The guy at the dealer told me something about removing the bumper. I find that a little hard to believe.

Thanx

To finish, make sure the lights are working and then install the lower panel on the A-Post. See below:

that was very good write up..complete procedure, yes just following the step by step instructions won't you confuse on especially when unstalling this Volvo headlight, the modern Volvo headlights put out significantly more light than old sealed beam Volvo headlights. Aside from the power and reliability of this vehicle, replacing the headlight with new ones will guarantee drivers a safe guiding light.
