How does one change outside left rear tail light on a 2004 Volvo S80?

Answer 1

there are 3 wing nut in the truck behind the tail light they need to come off very ez the hold tail light comes out then you replace the bulbs only takes minutes

My 2004 Volvo S80 was made in Sweden (may be different from above), to access the tail light there is a turn twist nob on the carpet that covers light access on each side turn it to release then pull carpet back. You can now access the tail light black plastic assembly. To remove this whole assembly (as you must to replace lights) you must press the black tab on each side of the assembly. There are two black tabs one on the fender side and one black tab on the inner side of the assembly (nearset you if you are looking in frome the trunk). These tabs are where the black ligt assembly meets the red of the lens cover and while tricky if you succesfully press each of these two tabs they will release the black light assembly from the red lens then you will easily be able to remove and replace lights. Again patience when putting it back in, it fits, believe me look at it and be patient it just snaps back in.
