need help with replacing headlight lens in my 2002 s80. I have a after market lens with new clips and gasket.

To remove headlamp from the car and replace the lens, you will have to take off the front bumper cover. Do you need instructions for that?

I just did that on my 2000 S80.

If you're only replacing one side, you only have to loosen one side of the bumper. Otherwise, you need to remove the entire bumper.

- In each wheel well there are 4 rivets that need to be drilled out.
- Mine had 6 plastic retainers above the front grill where the bonnet meets the front bumper. (The Volvo shop guide shows 11 retainers).
- 2 bolts (behind a cover) on either side of the lower bumper grill.
- 2 bolts under the grey molding below the headlights. (Volvo shop guide shows 2 bolts on each side, I only found 1).

Then you can put the assembly into a 150 deg oven or use a heat gun to soften the sealant and remove the lens. I saved the sealant I had and reused it because my new lens came with nothing.

Hi,.. I would like to some information with all of U about remove headlight...
You have to remove the front bumber, and after that u will be able to remove the headlight. There the repair procedure
1. look in the hood near the back of headlight's u should see two bolt and some kind of bracket weld on the frame. Those bolt are linked to the front bumber so u must removed it!!!Remove the battery to get a better access if u want.
2. unscrew all plastic cover under the front bumbper.
3. pull out the front bumbper and carefully uncap all wiring
4. finally u got access for headlight!!!!
do not try to remove the lens by the small clip, the assembly come in only one unit.
