Default 2002 V70 indicator bulb replacement.

Hi all, first week of owning a 2002 V70. Very pleased with the car too. The (passenger side UK model) front indicator headlight lense is badly misted. Is there an 'easy' way to get the bulb out to dry the lense? Looks really tight in there with not much room for manoeuvre. Thanks!

If it's a glass headlamp lens - moisture can collect due to the turn indicator bulb socket leaking or not having a gasket - they are slightly difficult to remove - if really wet inside removing the headlamp assembly is the best bet.

Hi and thanks. The whole headlight assembly was very wet, but I drilled a 10mm hole at the back of each of the headlight/side light plastic back covers. This worked a treat and has completely cleared them in a couple od days.. Just the indicator lense to clear now. All the best.
