2001 VOLVO V70 Replacing high/low beam headlight bulbs The headlight bulbs must be replaced from the engine compartment. CAUTION: Do not touch the glass on halogen bulbs with your fingers. Grease, oil or any other impurities can be carbonized onto the bulb and cause damage to the reflector. Be sure to use bulbs of the correct type and voltage. To remove a defective low beam bulb: Switch off all lights and turn the ignition switch to position 0. Open the hood. Remove the plastic cover over the bulb (1) by turning it counterclockwise. Remove the connector (2). Loosen the retaining spring (3) by first moving it to the right and then moving it down, out of the way. Pull out the defective bulb. Note the position of the guide lug on the base of the bulb (4). To install a new low beam bulb (H7): Insert the new bulb, without touching the glass, with the guide lug upward (1). The bulb will only seat properly in this position. Move the retaining spring up and push it slightly to the left until it seats properly (2). Press the connector into place on the bulb (3). Reinstall the plastic cover and turn it clockwise until it is correctly in place (4). "TOP" must be upward. NOTE: If the vertical aim of your headlights needs to be adjusted for any reason (e.g., towing a trailer for extended periods), this should be done by an authorized Volvo retailer. http://new.volvocars.com/ownersdocs/2001/2001_V70/01v70_08a.htm[4/4/2013 10:39:05 PM]
