Hi -- I've got a 1990 Volvo 740 GL Wagon, and one of the tail lights is busted. I bought the wrong part by accident and my mechanic charged me $35 to tell me that. So when I get the right part, I want to put it in myself. Does anyone know how I'd do that? Any links that break it down? My concern is that only one out of the four light panels are busted ...

 

It's an entire lamp assembly...the individual looking lenses are actually part of one larger assembly. Here's one on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VOLVO...Q5fAccessories
Held in with 4 bolts...cramped but straight forward. You'll need a 10mm socket, extension and ratchet. Attached from the interior. If you follow the above link, there is a photo of what the backside looks like and the location of the 4 mounting bolts.

 

What he said. Pop the plastic cover off the inside of the trunk and go nuts.

 

Thanks, guys! Sounds easy enough -- got the right part this time. If I run into problems, I'll be back!
