Removal of headlight unit on 2012 V70 to replace sidelight bulb

Need a bit more info about make and model of vehicle. In general there is normally access through the back of the sidelight fitting. There should be a bulb holder insert in the back of the fitting that turns and you can remove. Take the old bulb out and replace, push the insert back into the bulb fitting and twist to secure. Ensure the sidelights are switched off before attempting this , or you may short the contacts and blow a fuse.

HEADLIGHTS NOT WORKING

It can be faulty headlight switch or issue with its wiring. Or its faulty head light fuse.

Thanks.

You don't need to remove the whole headlight but instead the side light bulb is normally clipped to the headlight.Some are held by a small cover which you either need to rotate it or unclipped it out.Hope this helps.

On the sidelight, there is a Phillips screw which is hidden by the headlamp assembly. Remove headlight assembly and look for the Phillips screw. Once unscrewed, pull lens unit straight out and then you should be able to change bulb.

the cover is not removable, you have to change it from behind, it is a tight squeeze!

For the RH headlight, First remove the top cover of the ECU module just behind the headlight. Then remove the middle section leaving the ECU in place. Both parts are just clipped in so should come out fairly easily. You will then be able to get access the the headlight bulb, release the spring clip at the top (using a mirror helps) and the bulb should come out.
For the LH side remove the air filter housing.
