How easy is it to replace the headlamp unit on a V70 (2002)?
If your hand is not too large it is not to bad. You need to remove the round cover from back of headlamp assembly. This is done buy unscrewing it about a one third of a turn. Just before you remove it note it position so when you replace it will you can place it in same position to reinstall. Once you have cover off you should remove the plug that attaches to the lamp. You may have to use a screwdriver to pry the plug off. It holds tight to the lamp connection. Now that the plug is off you can loosen the collier that hold the bulb. It also needs about 1/3 a turn. As you take out the lamp note the position of the key/tab on bulb so you will know how to position the replacement correctly. Turn signal lamp takes an even smaller hand. Tom
In an earlier contribution to this discussion, Surely the question was about replacing the *whole* headlamp unit - not just the bulb?! -- Cheers, Roger ______ Email address maintained for newsgroup use only, and not regularly monitored..

You have to move the side out of the way to remove the headlight assembly -- "*-344-*Never Forgotten" Is for the New York City Firemen who lost their lives on September 11,2001. The official count is 343, but there was also a volunteer who lost his life aiding in the initial rescue efforts. And I will never forget them as long as I live, nor should any American.
