Interesting thought, but that could be possible, I'll have to remember that now that I'm a new Volvo owner.

Depends on the year and model. On my 99 S80, all I had to do was remove the socket plug inside the lens. It's already wired so wasn't anything else I needed to do except put in a bulb. One thing I did was "downgrade" the bulbs. The left one is an 1156 bulb (27 watt, 2 amp, 402 lumens) Instead, I put in 1141 bulbs (18.5 watt, 1.4 amp, 264 lumens) Not as bright as brake lights, but brighter than tail lights. Been running it that way for a year now and no issues. If your concerned about amp draw, you could put in LED lights instead. As for the SRS light, you'll need VIDA/DICE to see what happened.
