Don't have a Volvo but this is basically the same for every car. My problem, is that every time I resinstall a headlight, I have trouble getting the outside corner (your Volvo has a separate corner light) to sit flat against the quarter panel. It always seems to stick out a few mms. Does anyone have any advice on how to get the headlights to sit flush with the body?
That is the front bumper cover/ grill not the bumper itself. I do agree its better to remove the corner light with the headlight assembly although not absolutely necessary on the 2004 S80. Good tip would be to have new corner lights on hand when you are servicing the headlight assembly for any reason ' ie ' replacing the lens, gasket or, replacing the H7 bulb connectors with high temperature connectors which I just did.
For me it was necessary to remove the metal spring clip from the 3 wire connector in order to pull the connector off. I replaced it on the connector before pushing it back on
It is also good to remember to transfer the wiper rest from an old headlight to a new one if the new one does not come with a wiper rest
Very helpful - I just changed both headlights on my husband's 850 from RHD to LHD, and the process is pretty much the same as the V70. The outer top bolt's a bit fiddly to get at, but otherwise easy. Good video.
ElGuapoJoe - there's a springy clip thing to hold the sidelight in.
Your video service is great. would like to see the removal of the seat and center console of a 98 s70 or similiar model. I would like to put noise dampener down on the floor board and fireboard of the car.
Thank you so much for this video! I am a lady who has never done anything mechanical! Today I bought a used healight and watched this video...within a half hour, I had the new one installed and it was so easy! Thank you!!!
Thank you soooo much for posting this! I can't begin to tell you how helpful it was. With this video, this novice removed the headlight assembly, replaced the lens, and reinstalled the assembly..in 30 minutes!

Not as easy on the 2004 S80 you have to remove the entire front bumper, grill assembly.

What holds the corner light in place? It just slides in?

Just one thing, dont use your battery as a holder or a place to put things for anything esp. metal items.
