Default Help!...Headlight Change

Hi everyone:

Recently I got into a small accident with my 2006 S40 AWD T5, the passenger side headlight was broken. I located a site selling the light at $308 but I am not sure if I can put it on by myself. Could anyone help me with what tools I need for this and what are the steps?

By the way, what is the best way to repaire some scratches on the paint?

Thanks a lot

Harry

The 06 S40 should just have to metal rods/bars that hold the headlights in.

Well the headllight assembly I found is non-xenon light, can I take out my light bulbs and install on the non-xenon light box?

I never tried it but I think the ballast also screws to the bottom of the headight.

A cheap way to repair those scratches is to just use touch-up paint. But the best way is still to have it repainted.
