Hello out there, has anyone out there done this lately? I have looked at the YouTube hits I got, but most are for bulb replacement or what they show is not the same setup I have. Just thought I would ask the experts before I jump in. Thanks!! Doug

I've had to do this job a couple of times due to the originals disintegrating plastic adjuster and housing. The first replacement also had issues but was usable. Now I have the second replacement and all is good. Follow Alschnertz instructions--and I'd add this -- pull the turn signal assembly absolutely straight out -- if you angle it the two thin plastic locating pins at the rear of the lamp may break. And 2nd -- take note of the drain and vent tubes in the rear of the headlight assembly--they are easily lost. Oh, another point--the glass lens is easily removed to clean the inside if needed. At the salvage yard I swapped out a sandblasted lens for a nice one that came from an assembly that had a poor reflector. -- Dave

I'll assume you are referring to the right side of the car.
Replacement is simple. I just had to replace the rt. headlight on my '01 S40.
Shouldn't take you more than 10 minutes.

Open hood.
Loosen the screw that holds the signal light assembly two turns. This is a vertical screw.
Slide the signal light assembly forward and let it dangle.
Access (from the signal light area) and remove the two 10mm nuts from the side of the headlight assembly.
Remove the two 10mm nuts from the rear side of the headlight assembly that go through the radiator support.
Wiggle the headlight assembly off the car. You may have to push down or pull up on the bumper cover to have it come out.

It's really a piece of cake.

You tube is nice, but short on good explanation. Try reading this:

Keeping it running is better than buying new
