I'm not sure what has happened to the rear end of my '93 960 wagon, but I am losing lights and covers like they are going out of style. I have lost both clear (back-up) lenses over the last month and got my answers from the FAQ section. However, I need to replace the bulb for the passenger-side brake light and am afraid I will break the lens when trying to remove it. Any helpful hints? Also, I need to replace the passenger-side rear turn signal lens (which got a hole in it).

I guess if I am going to have any problems with this car, I should be happy they are in the rear end, not the front!!

Thanks in advance for any help.

To replace a bulb, pull the access panel in the rear corner inside the car. Once the panel is out, the bulb is replaced by twisting the socket from the back of the housing and putting the new bulb in the socket. Assembly is just the reverse.

Shawn:

What is happening to your taillights is not uncommon. After several years, the glue holding the lenses to the taillight frame begins to degrade because of UV bombardment from the sun. Use a good quality epoxy or trim adhesive to reglue the lenses. If the clear backup lenses are lost, repalcements can be purchased from a local dealer or call IPD.

If you want to purchase replacement lenses call Brian Leppin. He runs a used Volvo parts business and is a great person to do business with. Here is his website. www.volvousedparts.com/ He will ship the parts to you.

Hope this helps and good luck.
