The driver side headlamp does not light. This started yesterday. Can I just replace the bulb? How is this done? Thanks

There is a cover plate at the back of the headlight assembly. Give it 1/4 turn and it will pop off and then reveal the lamp sockets. The socket will come out of the assembly with another 1/4 turn. From there replacing the lamp is plug and play - don't touch the new lamp with your fingers though. The lamps don't like any kind of contamination on them.

Thank you, Ozark Lee. That took care of it.

BTW, do you have any ideas how I could locate a good Volvo mechanic in Southern California (orange county)? Don't need one now, but thinking of the future.
