replacement Xenon bulb

Volvo S40, V50 (2004-), V70, XC70 (2008-)

It is especially easy to replace the Xenon bulbs on the Volvo V70 III (2004-), S40 and V50 thanks to the very easy removable headlights. We show you how to do it on the example of a V70 with Xenon headlights.

Xenon bulbs work with high voltages and must be handled carefully.
Please regard these safety precautions:
-Ignition and headlights must be turned off. Pull out the ignition key.
-Headlight needs to be currentless or unhook the battery.
-Use one way gloves
Attention: Never touch the glass of the Xenon bulb, it can cause damage and it might explode. Consider wearing safety glasses.

Pull the two interlocks of the headlight upward and remove them.

Pull out the headlight carefully, do not stretch the electrical connection.

Unplug the headlight.

Put the headlight on the workbench, fold the wire bracket that holds down the covering cap to the side, unlatch the two latches on the top, fold the cap downwards and take it off.

Push the plug off the bulb, a flat screwdriver might be helpful.

After you unplugged the bulb, unclip and fold down the wire bracket, remove the bulb.

Now unbox the new Xenon bulb, do not touch the glass! Insert the new bulb in the headlight, make sure not to damage the cables inside the headlight.

Lock the bulb with the wire bracket und put the electrical plug back on.

The rest of the replacement works in reverse order.
