How to replace the fog and reverse bulbs on XC70 and V70 How to replace your tail light on XC70 and V70 Both bulbs are the same. Part Number is: 31213762
Its amazing how Volvo car engineers comes up with the most ridiculous ways in which to install bulbs of which are either hard to find, hard to purchase and hard to replace. The turn signal bulb requires a Sylvania Osram 12356 part number bulb or equivalent but good luck finding a retailer that sells one or a Keller equivalent bulb. Aliexpress has them but they may have a shipping fee attached as do most other online sellers with replacement bulbs to sell. Why the old 1156 or 1157 twist replacement bulbs no longer employed is a mystery that may be connect to their profit margins.
Thanks for the invaluable help! Following your step-by-step instructions I was able to replace the backup lights of my V70 without paying the local Volvo dealer an awful lot.
Thank you for this very detailed video which really helped me with the replacement of the reversing lights with LEDs. Your video on replacing the rear trunnion cylinders was super helpful too! You make simple what may seem complicated to someone who is not a mechanic. Big thank you from France.
Excellent instructions. I have recently bought a 2011 XC70 and noticed the tailgate light on the passenger side (UK) was filled with water. Your video has helped me greatly in fixing it. Thanks!
Another great video Yuri... quite a complex way to change a simple light bulb though but your demonstration will help greatly if I ever need to replace one. Surprised you didn't swap those bulbs out for brighter or led bulbs while you had them out ?
Brilliant job. well done. But can you provide the "industry" name or the common number of the generic bulb (NOT Volvo Part #). I want to upgrade and replace this bulb with an LED, but it seems Volvo wants to keep aftermarket parts and upgrades to minimum. It's insanely stupid that you have to do ALL this just to replace a stupid BULB. What are you thinking Volvo??!!
So much work to replace rear bulbs! That's not a good design from volvo really. They probably designed it like that to make sure you take it to a volvo garage for the work to be done. Does the xc70 have rear fog lamps on both sides? Thanks, nicely explained.
Bel video chiaro e fatto bene. Ho ordinato il fanale posteriore destro perché me lo hanno rotto. Quando arriverà mi sarà stato molto utile aver visto questo filmato! ☺️👍
@@mcdeadsquirrel 2 hours you’re joking! This can be done in 20 mins easily and won’t need to be done all the time. Maybe twice in the life time of the car.
Great video thank you, Shame the bulbs and the most expensive in the world, why on earth do volvo designers and engineers make changing anything on a volvo so bloody hard and expensive, once removed though simple to change to standard bulb holders and bulbs.
For me it is a safety issue. Changing a bulb should be able to be done at the side of the road or a car park with one tool and the mentioned 5 minutes.
Yes, lower brake lights and upper lights need new wiring. Upper lights is perfect to take from licence plate and brake lights can you take from TRM-modul. I think there is a guide on swedespeed.
I forgot to mention, take care not to cross thread any of the screws that are in the rear tail light assembly as cross threading steel screws into brass inserts held by plastic retaining tail light assemblies can take a lot of time and patience to fix with epoxy glue when they break off from too much force on a cross threaded steel screws.
I read there is only one side for the rear fog light to be used. Do you know if this is true? I only have my left side turn on, and noticed you had a bulb in the right side. My XC70 is a 2012. Thank you for the help
Did u find out? In my instructionmanual for v70 ii 2008 it's telling the same. It's a bit uneccasary work to dismantle that much just to fine out it's only 1 foglight on left side and zero on right side in LHD car contries and opposit in RHD car contries.
dear sir you say no need to remove both parts of tailgate trim to change fog backup light can you leave tork screws in where upper and lower parts join one each side and just pull lower part down to ,change bulbs or do you have to remove screws and remove it all as in vidio, please reply many thanks
I need to do this on mine, because only one side lights up for the rear fog lights. I never use them, but I'm mainly curious to see if it's just a burnt out bult.
I own a 2012 XC70 T6 - do you have a video for removal/replacement of outer tail lamp? Mine has filled with water (no idea how). Most likely the outer LED strip (running light) and marker light has shorted out. Help! (btw - your videos are excellent)
have you ever replaced the hatch seal (sealing strip part number 31299348) that contains the anti-pinch sensor? it is right there under the tail lights. i have recently realized that this is the cause of so many "the tailgate release button doesn't work" issues. I want to replace mine but i haven't been able to find any guides on that specific part.
Hi, Excellent video-as all others! I would like to replace my flasher relay with electronic one( due to fit LED bulbs ).I presume that it is fitted behind instrument cluster.I heard Knocking from there when indicators flashing. Do You have any info about it's location? Volvo Xc70 2006 diesel
I love your videos. I even changed my blower motor from one of your videos just great. Do you know if there is an LED replacement bulb that would fit? All the after market say a 7506 but the connector is not correct. I drive a lot at night and would love to get more light. Any help would be great
Is it easy to wire a bridge across to the other foglight? I am in the process of converting my RHD to LHD lighting, and I need to put a foglight on the left hand side.
Hello my friend, I want to swap the original backup lights bulbs for LED. Do you know the size of the replacement LED bulbs. It has to be error free or not? Thanks
Whats the bulb name or number i would like to change it to led, but i cant found in manual or on internet what bulb is that. On skandix there is no info about it.
One my backup lights on m 2010 XC70 is out. Good God i cant believe how complicated this is to replace. I can replace all the backup bulbs on my BMWs or Porsches in less than 5 minutes. They have little doggie doors on the inside to get access to. Just pop that open and you're right there. What the heck was Volvo thinking?
Great video! I wanted to see what kind of backup light is used, but I see now this cannot be replaced by a bright LED? Or is there a way? I can't see anything with the dim original light :/ The reverse camera is just a black screen as these bulbs give zero lumination on the road.
Thanks! That is exactly what I'm looking for! I see this shop also sells the 2014+ rear lights. Might just swap these. Do you know what kind of reverse light bulb is in the 2014+ lamps? Are they already bright LEDs? Or should I order the "LED-backljus till Volvo V70, XC70 08-, 6000K" with the 2014+ lights?
+Niels A. van 't Hoff Not sure what kind of bulb is in the new tail lights. This is my dream to change to the new style. But the price is high. Where are you gonna order the tail lights?
They sell them at the same store you mentioned, but yes, they are pricey... So I'll sleep on it for one night haha. But my heart says to buy them now vparts.se/se/bakljus-volvo-v70-xc70-14-vanster-yttre.html vparts.se/se/bakljus-volvo-v70-xc70-14-hoger-inre.html vparts.se/se/bakljus-volvo-v70-xc70-14-vanster-inre.html vparts.se/se/bakljus-volvo-v70-xc70-14-hoger-yttre.html Total almost 8.000SEK... But so much nicer :)
Hey, do u know how to change the rear light to the newer one(14-16) ? Its the same size but we need to make some change in the cables. Do u know how? Peace n love from Sweden
Thanks for your expertise and great video tutorials. I would like to replace all regular indicator bulbs with LED's, but can't apparently find a way to solve the hyperflash problem. Do you happen to have a solution?
Es muy complicado solo para cambiar las ampolletas.. Quiero comprar un Xc70 2010 pero ahora no estoy muy seguro.. Saludos cordiales desde Patagonia Chile
Thanks for the mute button as these long ads are ridiculous as they are annoying. Replacing a backup bulb on a Volvo is much the same although I don't understand why Volvo finds it necessary to change the bulb types for almost every bulb in the car. The turn signal bulbs are a real pain to find and when you do, it comes with a shipping charge which brings the purchase for one small bulb close to twenty bucks.
Юр видео хоть на английском но все понятно 👍🏻.я тебе писал по поводу подсветки в ручки двери ты обещал пересмотреть и ответить какие провода как подключать жду ответа
So much of the engineering of cars is designed for the hours it takes to make one on a production line rather than the years of use and ownership. For the end user a pretty poor ideology when you think of it.
Hey! And what is the best way o remove the brake/running light that is on the fender? My 4 litttle LED's are not working and the ligt itself is cracked and broken off in places. Cheers, ADam
Hey! I have seen a few other vids and it's not that bad. Probably around 10 bolts here and there, securing the bumper plastic cover and there's another 2-4 securing the underside of the light itself. Cheers bud :)
Rick. D. It's called a bone tool. I bought a "trim removal kit" from Amazon for about 16$ and it came with around 10 different sized ones. Effectively all these kits are made to give you leverage but won't crack or scratch plastics unlike a metal screwdriver for example.
Hi Sir! You should get a pair of these LED:s, I got em on my 2008 V70 and they work great. I´m sure you can get something similar on ebay or ali-express. Backing up in the dark will never be the same again ;-) vparts.se/se/v70/volvo-v70-2008/styling/dioder-lampor/led-backljus-till-volvo-v70-xc70-08-6000k.html Greetings from Sweden
