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.
