Hi I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1AAuto. I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20+ years of experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts installed correctly, that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video we're going to show you headlight replacement on this 1998 Volvo S70. This is basically the same for any 1998 to 2000 and the only tools you'll need are a 10mm socket with a ratchet and an extension. You'll also need a T25 torques driver if you have the wipers on the headlights and if you want to aim your headlights you'll need a Phillips screwdriver.
To remove your headlight you'll want to start by removing your parking light which involves pressing a tab right there. So reach in, press that tab and then you might hope your light comes forward. Press the little wire thing right here and that disconnects. On the back side there is also a connector here that you press with your thumb and pull off. There are three 10mm bolts, one then two and then there is one right in the back here and you probably want a 10mm socket, a small extension and a ratchet.
I'm just going to fast forward as I use the socket ratchet extension. Pretty much you can loosen those bolts up a few turns and then they come out just with your fingers.
Then you're going to take the light and pull it out. It should come right out. If you're just looking to change the bulbs then twist this cover off. That exposes the bulb there. There is another one right here. You pull the tab up and then take this cover off. Once you have the light out there are little wire retainers in here, just kind of pinch the wire retainers and then slip them up out of the way. The bulbs pull out and then they pull from the harness to disconnect. New bulb, put it back in and make sure it winds up into the hole. There is a tab on the receptacle and a slot that it goes into. Put the wire down, pinch it and put it in place. Obviously there is one larger tab on here, just line that up correctly and lock that on. Lock the two tabs on top and put that in place.
Okay so that was the procedure for changing the bulbs. If you need to replace the entire headlight because you had a broken one or you just want to freshen up the look of the front end of your car, I'm going to cover that now.
If you have the wipers for the headlights, a T25 torques driver and remove your little stop for your wiper. Now before we put it in install our stop for our wiper. Press it in and slide it back and then this screw pretty much just threads itself right in. Okay a new headlight from 1AAuto. You can see much more clear and bright than the old one. Maybe you had a headlight and it was broken or something like that or maybe you just want to freshen up the front of your vehicle but it's going to go in and you can put it in place here, reconnect the harness. Get this out of the way. Slip the new light into place and make sure it goes back all the way.
Okay I'm just going to speed up a little difficult to film this anyway but you just put the three bolts in by hand first then use your 10mm socket ratchet extension. I pretty much guide them in by hand first, get them hand tight then use the wrench to tighten them up. You want to make them firm but you don't want to over tighten them.
Okay then we will follow up our new headlight with a new parking light. Let's install that and then on the parking light there is a tab here that goes into a slot on the fender, two tabs that go into slots on the headlight so put it in place. Make sure everything is lining up. Right back in. Okay to adjust your headlight you use a Phillips screwdriver. This control here aims it left and right and then this adjuster back here aims it up and down and in Massachusetts both are suppose to aim straight ahead. The low beam should be at 20 feet away and the concentration of the beam should be one inch below the level of your bulb and the high beam should be level with your bulb at 20 feet away.
