Replacing break light bulb. V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be FogCity on  Tue Aug 20 09:58 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Can anyone tell me how to remove the break lense housing on a V70. I lost the owners' manual and the bulb has burnt out for a couple of weeks now. The indicator light on the dash board light up each time we use the break. I looked at the housing and failed to see any screw or anything holding it together. - Thanks in advance.

    Thanks both of you for sharing the info. and experience.

    In my V70, the way back pillers(hatch frame) has tiny speakers in them. There is a small pop-off tab which I think is related to the speakers. Other than that, the plastic trims do not appear to have any other point of attachment. I will try and pry things off tonight.

    Older V70? If it works like most Volvos, inside the way back area, pull out the hatch plate, then remove the assembly holding the lights. In my car, the holder is pretty much a friction fit...if I pull back on one end, it just pulls away. It's easy. You might need a flat screwdriver for prying.

    On an 850 wagon you access it from inside. There is a plastic panel
    that pops off behind the light (no tools needed). The entire bulb
    housing then comes out in one piece (there is a plastic tab you push
    on). Not sure if 70 series is the same but just replaced a brake bulb
    last week on our 850 wagon and it was easy and no tools at all.
