You can take out the air intake assembly on the drivers side and have access to the bulb On the passenger side, you can remove the ECU cover and box and access the bulb. Takes all of 15 mins

Q: How many mechanics does it take to change a lightbulb in a V70 Volvo ? A: Only one . But the entire bumper, radiator and all of the belts need to be removed to get at the bulb in order to bill the Volvo owner as much as possible . This is CRAZY . I thought at first that it was one of those goofy spoof videos . Like , how NOT to change a headlight bulb .

@peterwarrender9692 4 жыл бұрын

I have a 2002 Volvo V70 D5. I did not have to remove any body work or headlight. I just removed the bulb cover on the back of the headlight, pulled off electrical connector, followed by the bulb fixing spring/clip, then replaced the blown bulb, refix spring,electical connector screw back cover on. job done.

I am blown away by Swedish Engineering . Remove the bumper to change a bulb ? This is like removing the ceiling of my living room and re-drywalling the ceiling for a light bulb change, when all you really should have to do is turning the bulb and replacing it ??? Happy to know newer versions have two plastic pull sticks holding the headlight ... new generation of Volvo Engineers ?

My 07 XC70 uses H7 bulbs for the low beams. But the covers are not the screw type as shown in this video, but rather a simple rubber cap. Also the retaining spring is one piece, not two as shown. Finally, the housing is much deeper and I'm trying to replace the bulb without having to remove the bumper, but I just can't get it to line up in its proper position, mainly because there isn't enough room to hold the bulb and get my fingers in there. Any hints?

I changed it with out removing the bumper. Just squish your hand in there and work with the limited space . Took me like 1/2 an hour to do one but I'm a beginner at car stuff so it took me a while but I'm not stupid enough to rip my car apart to change 1 light bulb

At 9:14 it was good to see how the retaining clip can be disengaged for bulb change. I think I will be able to do this without any bumper or body part removal. Instead I removed that box/sleeve that protects the engine control modules (silver colored) and that seems to provide enough room to change a low beam of passenger side of 2006 v70. The sleeve can be gently pulled up and out by pressing two plastic tabs. Mine came out easily. I may just need a small mirror to fully understand what needs to be pushed in but this looks like a small job - maybe 20 minutes if all goes well. No bumper cover removal involved.

This actually looks doable without having to remove the bumper. I don't think it's the same all through 00-07, btw. At least not on the XC70, but I know the V70 is like little brother to it. The later half of the generation has a different headlight design and it's very tedious and cramped trying to change bulbs without removing the whole darn bumper.

Are you seriously suggesting that you have to put the car on a lift and take the front bumper off in order to change a lightbulb? Really? Gee, I wonder how I manage to change my lightbulbs by just taking the covers off like Volvo say you should in the V70 handbook... Laughable.

Mine is similar to this and it makes my blood boil so much I want to kick the living shit out of the arsehole that designed them as I have NEVER had to do more than take the bulb out of the back of the lamp and just replace it from behind the casing in EVERY other car I have owned.
