Headlamp Replacement V70-XC70

It is reasonably easy to remove the headlight assembly from the car.

1. Remove the side marker lights. These are a bit of a pain because you have to use a screwdriver to push a plastic tab, but then they slide out. Disconnect the connector.
2. Disconnect the power connectors for the main hedlight bulbs. Be gentle.
3. Unscrew 3 bolts for each headlight assembly. You may need an extension on your socket for the lower one, and it's hard to see.
4. Carefully lamp unit lift out and don't drop it.
5. Wash everything, I bet there is lots of dirt, dust, and slime.
6. Check the connectors and use emory cloth of a fingernail file if there is any pitting or corrosion. Cleaning connectors is always a good idea.
