Robert my man, you have been a lifesaver at times. I can't express my appreciation enough to you for taking your time to diligently share the knowledge, film it, edit it. It's thanks to enthusiasts like yourself that we can learn about our cars and fix them.
An elderly woman friend just got herself a '98 S70 . She has turned to me for help w/various issues w/her car (of which I had no previous knowledge or experience of this model-or any Volvo...). Your sharing of knowledge has been a Godsend of help! I thank and commend You, Sir!
Robert. You are the man! God Bless you! We had a headlight lens break and the mechanic we trust could not fit us in for a few days. The mechanic gave us the lens he had around for $10 and with your help changed it. Great channel!
Hey Leroy, thanks for watching my video. I'm not sure about replacing the wiper motor on the S40. The next time I'm in the junk yard I'll check it out and post back. As for the fluid lines, you just have to follow them. You can have someone wash the windshield and see if they squirt, they are suppose to work with the windshield washers.
Your instructions were great. The clips were hard to put on. So I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around the assembly, on the edges. Then I used a C-clamp to push the assembly together. No damage;: it worked. Out-of-the box thinking. Go for it!
@@RobertDIY It is a 1993. Two clips on top. One on each side. Two on the bottom. The gasket supplied by RockAuto was thick. That's why the trouble putting the clips on. But your logic was the same.
WOW! Thanks Robert. I recently purchased a 2000 Volvo V40 with 98K. Timing Belt was replaced, along with water pump, idler and tensioner and while they were at it the serpentine belt. Recently, the driver low beam blew and when I replaced the bulb I noticed the chrome backing was loose, just as you described. Now I know what and how to fix that without buying a whole new lens. Thanks for you tips. I agree with another viewer, very little info on google about fixing these cars so keep it going.Paul
Thanks for the help, my dude. Just came back from switching glasses on my Volvo V70 -00 with your video help. My family can drive with more effective light in the cold dark snowy north now.
As always Robert helps me out again! Lol. I noticed a crack in my drivers side lens on my C70 and I was going to buy a whole new headlight assembly. I have the jewels and noticed how expensive those suckers are. I ended up finding a good link on the swedespeed forum for buying the replacement lens with new seal for about $35 from the UK. Better than replacing the whole thing. What's funny tho, is that I ended up finding a new set of complete light assembly from another member on the forum for just $100 so I got that too. Can never have too many extra parts for those in-case situations. Thanks for showing me how to take the lens off in detail tho. I was a little nervous I might break something because some people told me the seals are hard to replace on my car. Go figure..I can do a head gasket job and other major engine work but had trouble and was unsure about a headlight lens lol
thanks for the video, I lost the protector cap behind the light and some dirt got into the light on a wet road, which decreased the visibility due to dirty glass. I bought new caps, and cleaned the lights, good as new :)
@@RobertDIY We found a near pristine 1996 Volvo at the junk yard last week and we got a few small pieces, door handles- exterior/interior. Today we went back for the two front seats, console (not sun-baked!?!) And the carpet, lol! I'm excited to have "brand new heated seats" just in time for a Texas summer!
Thanks for the video Robert! I want to replace the fluted lenses on my '99 V70 with clear lenses that Eurosport Tuning sells, since the road illumination with the fluted lenses is awful. Do you know if this will cause any problems like blinding oncoming drivers, since the fluting directs the beam?
@@RobertDIYExcellent, thanks Robert. So the reflectors go bad; I've considered the jewel headlights but they're pricey. Maybe I'll try lining the reflector with tinfoil as a stopgap until I get a replacement, or rechrome it as someone suggested in the comments.
Thanks Rob! Would you have any advice on removing / replacing / repairing the headlight height adjustment motors? Our jurisdiction required them to function or the car basically fails the yearly inspection, or I'll get 30 days to repair them. Mine is a 1996 850, European version.
+Itapirkanmaa2 adjustment motors? Never heard of this. Here in the US they can be adjusted by mechanical linkages. If they get jammed, I'm not sure how to free them.

Once again an excellent video. I wasn't sure I could do this myself before I watched your video. Thanks for giving me the information I needed! Fantastic.
I like seeing your videos. I know you are going to attempt to explain the whole process and the common hangups or trouble spots. Thanks. I am going to find a replacement lens for my cracked one and install it now.
+Robert DIY In a complementary way. Generally, your video has given me enough information for me to decide if I want to purse a project or pay someone to do it.
Thanks a lot! I wish I would have seen this before I bought the lens online! I could have just gotten one form a junk yard! Appreciate it Robert I'm going to replace the lens tomorrow
Robert, will this method work on my 2002 V70 wagon? Or is the lens on my car glued to the assembly. Also, I've ordered 2 sets of OEM headlights and had to send them all back because the male end of the electrical fitting, the one on the assembly, is oval. And mine are rectangle. I just have two cracked lens, everything else on my lights are fine. If I can fix the glass that's all I need. Thanks Robert, I'm a big fan. Jimmy
Thanks Robert! The useful information I need is only available on your channel. Do you know what to do to adjust polution rates when they get too hight? I'm a S70 2.0 1998 owner.
Hi Rob! I learned a lot on your videos! I was just wondering maybe you have a wiper retaining/resting tab for the driver side? I just got a hand me down from family and it is a 2000 V70 XC SE awd with 185k mi. My dad did not know and he disposed the old headlight with the tab on it. I cannot find that part anywhere...
great info as per usual Robert! Tackling this job with confidence tonight. My reflector has come loose and my night time visibility is poor. Hopefully it's an easy fix, to just pop the reflector back in. :)
Robert - I just switched out my daughter's Volvo s70 headlights while visiting her out of town. She calls today to tell me the corner lights have popped off while driving and are hanging. I shoved those in after replacing the headlights as I thought that was the proper procedure. Did I miss something? Any suggestions for resetting them besides shoving them back in? I enjoy your vids. Thanks.
+Daniel Bevarly Those things fall apart all the time. The tabs break off, etc. Can she clip it back in? I've seen people do all kinds of stuff to keep them from flopping around. From using clear packing tape to Velcro. Bottom line is that she will likely need a replacement light. Have her send you a picture of the back of it so you can see how many of the tabs are broken.
nice cool video sir Robert! hav to ask tho if this is the same for a 2002 volvo s40. thanks. please make a video where the power window assembly motor of the back door is put in the front driver's side.
I was able to take the passenger headlight off with little difficulties, just time consuming. The reflector shield was in 2 pieces and there weren't any obvious signs of breaking. Is that normal for the V40?
Hi Robert, I think removal of the headlight assembly is different on the XC70. I bought an assembly from a salvage yard and want to replace replace a damaged one. It seems like there's a nut under the bumper I need to get at. Do you have a video on headlight replacement on a 2001 XC70? Thanks, I'm a subscriber.
Thanks for the great videos And detailed explanations Robert. On my 99 S70 if found that when removing the headlight assembly there is a small tab to press down that holds the signal light in place. Once that is depressed I could remove the signal light, then the headlight. :)
Hello RobertDIY i have a question for you, the volvo xc70 year 2007 doesn't have wipers just water sprayers to clean the headlights, but the volvo v70 2005 does have wipers on the headlight assembly will this create a problem for me installing the headlights or not? and can i remove the wiper mechinism?
Hi Robert, my front driver's side light is not working. I've replaced the bulb and fuse. Still not working. May be a wiring issue. Can you replace any of the wiring components or do you need to replace the whole lamp? I'm not savvy enough to check the wiring w/ a multimeter nor do I have one. Thanks in advance for you help.
Hey Kyle I had a similar issue. Check the wiring for any issues because mine were totally messed up. After looking thoroughly I even noticed that the connections for the actual headlight bulb were even a little burnt. I guess this can be a common problem because the stock headlight wiring is kinda weak. What I did was bought some performance bulb sockets on Amazon or Ebay, the ones that have stronger wrap on the wires and the sockets can handle heat better. I traced the wiring as far back as I could and used a heat gun and added some more stronger shrink wrapping tubing whatever they call it, over the existing wiring and then I spliced in the new sockets using butt connectors and more shrink tubing for wiring. I haven't had anymore issues since. I was also having a problem where the fog light fuse kept burning out as soon as I turned the car on. Ended up being the ground to the fog light bulbs. I guess they weren't secure enough and got loose. Once all this was fixed, everything ended up working fine and hasn't given me anymore problems for a few months now. Hope that helps bro
Jav Munguia I disassembled the whole unit, attached electrical tape and switched out the wiring harness. They still work. They were still intermittently working but now have been pretty consistent. Ideally I need to buy new harnesses as I'm sure it's the wiring in the actual lens housing that's the problem.
Hey Rob I've got one headlight out on my 850. I have the aftermarket Spyder halogens. I've tried switching the bulbs, and I've also checked the fuses. Both are in good working condition. I feel like it must be a wiring issue, possibly a short. Any ideas?
Robert DIY These don't have any control box on them. They aren't HID's or anything. I can toggle the headlight switch in the middle to Parking Lights, and that works just fine.
Robert DIY Guy at scrap yard said lens are irreplaceable when I pulled one from a car and he got really mad. Can I pull one from a junkyard and use it?
I pulled 2 today, $8 plus fees. Some charge the price of a full light assembly. I'm not concerned about what they have left after I get what I need. It's a junk yard, heck, 1/2 the time people just break them out on the cars.
Robert I ave a 2001 Volvo S40. How do I replace the headlight wiper motor on the drivers side. I have purchased a replacement a the original no longer works. Also how do I check the fluid hose connected to these wipers (headlight wipers). Thanks LeRoy
Wish you the newer xc90 were as easy as this, think I've got to put mine in a oven's for 15min to lossen all glue and start prioring the old plastic lense off
Thanks for that helpfull video i have a 1998 s70 volvo 2 weeks ago you help me a lot how to change a motormount is like you are reading my mind what a gonna do next thank again and nice job your friend daniel
+Roberto Far You don't need to remove the whole assembly to change the bulbs. There are two plastic caps on the back. One is round; rotate it to the left and it'll pop right off. The other one is rectangular; release the clip at the bottom, and pull it off. From there, pull the connector off the back of the bulb, and release the two spring clips holding the bulb in.
+Robert DIY I have a Volvo S70 AWD 1999 and my lights are extremely dim. I want to be able to see the road well. What needs to be replaced? (whole headlight? or lens? or reflector?) I bought Philips Diamond Vision bulbs 5000k and they didn't seem to help (I like the whiter light though) All in all I can barely see the road at night if anyone has any ideas with the cheapest solution id appreciate it greatly.
It looks like the hood latch assemblies have to be removed in order to access the third outside bolts on each. I don’t see how you can remove and reinstall the bolts without doing this
Any one else trying to figure a way to mount DRL lights in the housings? I mean not many cars headlights come apart like the Volvos and now that summer is here im going to try to install some stick leds (roll type) or the round leds (circle type) but I think the roll type will work just fine...
What I discovered is that the outer reflector is attached to the plastic housing and, the inner reflector is attached to the aiming devices. Unfortunately, my aiming arms are broken So I glued the reflector's together.
Robert DIY Not if you go to the junkyards, the junkyard I goto headlights are only $50. But I got the lens to attach with the seal. You just have to snap the clips on properly.
+Robert DIY replacing the bulb for the turn signal on the left corner, I did everything u said and its still not working is it a specific bulb I need to use??
+Robert DIY it works me and my cousin figured out.. now do you have a video for temperature coolant device?? my engine gets hot way to fast and antifreeze spurts put causing it to smoke on the passenger side
Sorry, I didn't explain enough there, ..... My friend, (who knows NOTHING AT ALL about cars), ... tried to change his headlamp wiper motor following your video, he got completely confused when he saw your car ready stripped down, ..... you go in the engine compartment and reach straight down to the headlamp, he realised the battery had to come out but got frightened that if he disconnected it, the engine management box would lose it's memory, ... do you understand what he thinks?
DON'T EXPECT EVERYONE to know what your are talking about, some of them know nothing at all. ..... Then you come along with this video only showing "HALF", the removal job............ YOU, ... have the car stripped down ready, ...... how about explaining how to do that too, ..... it IS part of the job in hand you know? ... like the "Hidden", bolts/nuts/screws...... You get 0/10 because you DON'T START AT THE BEGINNING....... OK, ... make that 3/10 for effort.......

Wish you the newer xc90 were as easy as this, think I've got to put mine in a oven's for 15min to lossen all glue and start prioring the old plastic lense off
Yikes
Thank you so much! This was awesome and so easy to understand.
You are welcome
Thank you great video,got a great price on my new lense as well
+Jonathan Smith good deal. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for that helpfull video i have a 1998 s70 volvo 2 weeks ago you help me a lot how to change a motormount is like you are reading my mind what a gonna do next thank again and nice job your friend daniel
+Roberto Far You don't need to remove the whole assembly to change the bulbs. There are two plastic caps on the back. One is round; rotate it to the left and it'll pop right off. The other one is rectangular; release the clip at the bottom, and pull it off. From there, pull the connector off the back of the bulb, and release the two spring clips holding the bulb in.
Thanks a lot . From the Netherlands
You are welcome
+Robert DIY I have a Volvo S70 AWD 1999 and my lights are extremely dim. I want to be able to see the road well. What needs to be replaced? (whole headlight? or lens? or reflector?) I bought Philips Diamond Vision bulbs 5000k and they didn't seem to help (I like the whiter light though) All in all I can barely see the road at night if anyone has any ideas with the cheapest solution id appreciate it greatly.
+Tyler Conlon I would replace the reflectors. Let me know if you need some. - th-cam.com/video/L80M1zAGT_8/w-d-xo.html
How much are the reflectors
+Tyler Conlon I think you can only get them at the junkyard. I believe I pay about $8 each.
Thank you - the information was very helpful.
+David Tyler Good deal. Thanks for watching.
Is it pretty much the same process for 960s and v90s?
nope
Where can i buy a s70 glass replacement?
I have several.

Superb guy very helpful
Thanks for watching
So I dont need to remove the wiper motor to remove the headlight on v70 1999?
Did I remove it in the video?
I need one on how to take off the headlight wipers or delete them
Some people cut the rod off under the headlights. What kind of car do you have?
I usually just unplug the motors and put new wiper blades on them.
2004 Volvo S60 awd 2.5t
Trying to find the video to change the bulb!
Which bulb?
Took the housing out, the glass off, sprayed some metalic silver paint onto the reflector which had grown dull from age. The lights are bright again.
+John Mahoney They usually get dull from water/weather intrusion. - th-cam.com/video/L80M1zAGT_8/w-d-xo.html
It looks like the hood latch assemblies have to be removed in order to access the third outside bolts on each. I don’t see how you can remove and reinstall the bolts without doing this
ok
This is great! Thank you!
Thanks for watching.
Any one else trying to figure a way to mount DRL lights in the housings?
I mean not many cars headlights come apart like the Volvos and now that summer is here im going to try to install some stick leds (roll type) or the round leds (circle type) but I think the roll type will work just fine...
AwakeDude911 Most people like to install the Volvo jewels.
Can I just buy the reflector piece by itself?
Not that I'm aware of.

Thanks as always
You bet
What I discovered is that the outer reflector is attached to the plastic housing and, the inner reflector is attached to the aiming devices. Unfortunately, my aiming arms are broken So I glued the reflector's together.
Oh, cool. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you !!! From Russia )))
You are welcome.
is it same to 96 years modell ?
+Mackan Götgård Close.
The lens come off easily because there's no seal. Mines does, it's a pain to get it off, and pain to get it back on.
Well, if it needs to be fixed, you gotta do something.
Robert DIY You can remove the seal, but that's just asking for trouble. Beset thing to do would be to just get new headlights.
+Tao Liu at the tune of $230? I have had zero issues with swapping the lens.
Robert DIY Not if you go to the junkyards, the junkyard I goto headlights are only $50. But I got the lens to attach with the seal. You just have to snap the clips on properly.
Good deal.
very helpful
Good deal.
I need help with the turn signal light
What kind of help?
+Robert DIY replacing the bulb for the turn signal on the left corner, I did everything u said and its still not working is it a specific bulb I need to use??
+Joshua Roane front left

+Robert DIY it works me and my cousin figured out.. now do you have a video for temperature coolant device?? my engine gets hot way to fast and antifreeze spurts put causing it to smoke on the passenger side
Thanks !
Welcome!
Thanks 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
Sorry, I didn't explain enough there, ..... My friend, (who knows NOTHING AT ALL about cars), ... tried to change his headlamp wiper motor following your video, he got completely confused when he saw your car ready stripped down, ..... you go in the engine compartment and reach straight down to the headlamp, he realised the battery had to come out but got frightened that if he disconnected it, the engine management box would lose it's memory, ... do you understand what he thinks?
No, it would not.
tanks for anser :)
Ok
thanks!
you are welcome.
DON'T EXPECT EVERYONE to know what your are talking about, some of them know nothing at all. ..... Then you come along with this video only showing "HALF", the removal job............
YOU, ... have the car stripped down ready, ...... how about explaining how to do that too, ..... it IS part of the job in hand you know? ... like the "Hidden", bolts/nuts/screws......
You get 0/10 because you DON'T START AT THE BEGINNING....... OK, ... make that 3/10 for effort.......
Huh? Are you high? I will assume yes. This process works perfectly fine with the car 100% assembled.
