V70 Tail Light Bulb Replacement

[Tom (archive)]

I have a 99 V70 with a blown brake light. How do you access the bulbs for replacement? I know this may seem a dumb question but I would rather not break anything trying to change a bulb.

It is thoroughly described in the owners manual that came with the car. There are panels that come off to expose the lamps. The lower lamps are behind a plain panel. The higher lamps are behind the speaker. Then there is usually another panel behind that that is removed also. Then the lamp holders are turned about 1/4 turn counter clockwise to remove from the reflector housing. Then lamps are than the usual bayonet mount where you push in and turn counter clockwise to remove.

Thank for the heads up. I will follow your directions and review the manual.

Best..........Tom
