Volvo S60 Headlight Assembly Replacement - DIY in 10 Minutes!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- ►We're here with Jay VanGorden again to show you how to remove and install the headlamp assembly on your P2 Volvo. There are many reasons why replacing a headlamp assembly in your Volvo S60 can be necessary. The headlamp assembly on a P2 Volvo S60 can be quite trouble-some. The earlier model years used a glass lens and the later years used a plastic alternative. The earlier glass lenses tend to pit and crack over time while the later plastic versions tend to haze up. Both versions have also been known to spring a condensation leak due to the seal.
In the case of oxidation, there are several products on the market that remove the oxidation similarly to removing oxidation from car paint. Additionally there are some who have successfully used toothpaste to remove headlight oxidation as well (yes, you read that right). If you need new headlights, you may want to consider changing them in pairs for even lighting performance.

This process is slightly different for the 2005 - 2009 S60s. They use 8 mm in place of some of the 10 mm bolts in this video and you have to remove the T5 boot behind the wheel lining.
Mine also had 1 extra push pin on each side. It was on the bottom edge of the bumper closest to the wheels. The way you would tell is that if you're trying to take off your bumper, it would be holding on from the bottom. It's similar to the push pins on the top of the bumper.
Thank you Jay, exactly what I was looking for.
3:30 You can apply this to other P2 chassis models like S60 2001-2009, V70 2001-2007, XC70 2003-2007, and the S80 1999-2006.
If you are only doing one side(deer hit smashed one, for example), you don't have to take the bumper off. remove the top clips, pop the strip off in the front, remove the 2 mounting bolts for that side, the one screw in the wheel well, and the 4 bolts that hold the headlight in. Requires a little more hand-work to get to some stuff, but if you are working alone, and don't have a lift, it makes it easier.
Though I would not be able to support your businesess, but I find this clip (and others) the real life saver, thank you so much for a professionally presented ones.
What an insane design. Thanks for help!
Great video
Saved me tons of money. I am far from being a mechanic and was able to replace my headlight in less than an hour
That's awesome, Brett! Happy we could help!
Thanks FCP Euro for the clear and concise instructions! Nice drum roll by the way.
You're welcome Robert!
You made it look simple and easy. Thank you.
Awesome video.
Great knowledge and right to the point, just the way it should be.

This was incredibly helpful!
Thanx 4 this video! Used it to change out my 2007 S60 lights. A few small differences, at least for us with the 2007 (at least ours, assuming no changes have been made since the car was new):
- Only 1 screw (each side) holds the bumper onto the wheelwell, and that's a Phillips. Don't waste time trying to separate the wheel liner from the front liner - not needed.
- Entire bumper/grill assembly is held on only by those 2 screws and the 5 plastic pins on top of the radiator - that's it. Careful once undoing those two areas.
- You DO NOT have to take off the little strip on each side of the bumper. There is no access to a headlight bolt there. Once you remove the entire grill, the front headlight bolt is right there (lower inside corner of each light). Leave the little strips on.
Other than that I think it's about exactly what's in the video. One more thing, it's possible that your headlights might aim a little off when installed. If so, there is a little hex nut on top of the assembly/radiator area. This is what you twist to position the light up/down (you don't have to go into a dealer and pay $50+ to aim your lights - it's easy (hopefully it works for you).
Appreciate the efficient, to-the-point aspects of these videos, thanks!
Thanks for the additional tips mikeaustin , appreciate it, and noted!
I’ve used your videos before, Brilliant well done, very informative
Thanks, Martin! Glad we can help!
Thanks for sharing this - you have saved me a lot of time and trouble !!
it took me only three hours....little bit rust, plug breaking, lights full of water, clean and dry, coffee, lunch, siesta - actually the video was a great help.!
Nice work! Glad we could help!
Very clear and informative. Thanks for the help!
Thanks a lot! Great video with clear instructions!
i was thinking about cleaning the manifold pressure sensor by first removing the left headlight... but i think i'll pass on that seeing this.
Thanks for the detailed video.
Very useful!
Saved me money and time!
Thanks!
Thank you, thank you! I'm ready to get these lamps replaced. Now to go do it...
good Job verry qwick grettings from germany
Thank you for taking time in uploading this video I appreciate it
did u disconnect the battery or u don’t have to
Unfortunately, this Volvo was 04. I have an 06 S 60 with the headlight washer sprayer . With far more screws to be removed instead of clamps and I ran into a problem of trying to get the headlight out . That’s because the washer is somehow connected underneath the, headlight assembly not able to find a video with this issue. Help
At $250-$400 each, you may as well try taking them out/leaving them in and detailing them with one of the many sanding/polishing methods and adding a new protective layer before you spend much more (especially on the plastic lens units where you replace the entire thing!).
Yes, that's also an option if the lens isn't heavily pitted or cracked. There's many cost effective headlight restoration kits available under $30.
the assemblys I'm finding are around $180. You can find them for far under $250 if you look around.
Is the glass lens not bonded and sealed, ie just removing the clips will not release the glass lens as you mention in the video. In fact, getting the glass lens free is the most difficult part, is it not?
PLEASE HELP
Hi, I own a Volvo S60 2006. I have watched a lot of your videos to fix my vehicle. Thanks to you guys all fixes have been made easier. The car is now driving successfully but! For some odd reason the last thing I had to do was replace one of my headlamps. The low beam did not work on the prior headlamp so I replaced the bulb and it still didn’t work. So I bought a whole new headlamp thinking that as soon as I installed it the light would turn on but it hasn’t. I have researched all day trying to find this same problem but I have yet to find a solution. I checked the fuses and they are fine the headlamp as well as all the bulbs are fine but I can not get the low beam light to cut on. Maybe it’s the wiring? Not the wiring connected to the bulb itself because that’s brand new but maybe the wiring connecting to the fuse box. I really don’t know what to do as of now. Do you have any ideas what it may be or what I should do? Please help.
Good job my friend. Thank s
12mm wasnt the right size. Anyone else face this issue?
Do you have to take the bumper off when you are placing a headlight assembly on a 2008 volvo xc 70 ?
Thanks for the information, very helpfull!!
Very helpful
Thank You 🙏 so much!
Thanks, great video. I only need to replace the side marker bulb on the front right side of my 2006 S60, but I can't figure out how to access it. My Owner's Manual says "all front bulbs (except the optional front fog lights) are replaced from the engine compartment." It doesn't say anything about removing the bumper....can you assist? Thanks!
GREAT INFO. THX!
thats probably the easiest way to replace a bulb too. i cant fit my mitts between the airbox and light
How do you change 2006 vovol brake light on the left side
What are the exact size of the headlight mounting bolts? I can’t find them anywhere
excellent video. I wish is had a lift to work easy like that. LOL.
and bolts that actually come off or dont instantly snap or strip because of rust when using power tools 🤔
Good night, please tell me the name of this applique that goes on the front bumper .. I speak of Brazil .. I need to buy them and here I don’t think so.
Thank you bro
How to replace only glass in front lamp?
Hi there lookn for abit help please . Can I remove lights without taken bumper of . Or even just replace lens thanks
Thanks for sharing, my left light got water in it maybe I need only to replace the gasket of the lamp. Maybe you show us how to replace the glas or replace the gasket. Thabks again.
If you have the older P80 V70/S70/C70 its much easier as just 3 bolts on back of headlight to remove. No messing with the bumper.
Good video though!
Can you do one on an 03 s80
Amazing.
I have a s60 07 Volvo on passenger side head light comes on n then goes right back off. Could this be the balance being bad?
It sounds like it could be a loose connection. I would double check your connections to make sure everything is plugged in securely.
FCP Euro I have the same problem but I have an 2006 s60. I think it might be the connector/socket. Would I need to purchase a new one or do you have a video showing how to repair it?
Am i able to get a headlight lens for 2006 s60? Cant find none anywhere
Do I need to disconnect the battery if I’m replacing the bulbs?
What a ridiculous engineering! Remove the bumper just to replace a bulb?!?
I see there are no headlight wipers or even holes for the wipers. I removed my wipers on my 04 S60 and am looking for a way to cover the holes

Thank you for your great videos!
Can I remove the lens cover without removing the bumper? Mine needs cleaning.
Look at how the lens is attached. The answer is "no".
Thank you
You're welcome!
dziękuję
My volvo s60 front bumper won’t snap in properly. I had gotten it pulled out by a curb a year ago and it won’t pop back in properly. I’m afraid to try this method to change/clean my headlights because my bumper is screwed up. Any suggestions?
It sounds like some of your bumper fasteners snapped when the bumper got pulled out by the curb. If you need to replace your headlight, I would still give it a shot, you can always get some replacement fasteners. Here you can find the replacement rivets + other bumper parts you might need: www.fcpeuro.com/Volvo-parts/S60/Bumper/?year=2004&m=1279&e=2105&t=5&b=5&d=586&v=97
Thx bro. You saved me
Glad to hear that!
Does these cars have a balance in the front bumper that could be bad?
For the Christ sake why they have to complicate things so much????
For a modern car this is actually remarkably simple. Try it on any new french car!
If you want complicated, get an Audi. Yikes. How often does one need to remove the headlight housing?
@@donmoore7785 Well for me, it has to be the biggest pain in the a*s to do all this just for one light bulb!!! Can you imagine doing a long trip and taking the whole f. bumper say on the side of the road! Can you imagine that?! Volvo in mind regarding easy light bulb, than it has to be the old one XC90... Thats how all cars should be, nothing else...
@@Thehunter85 You don't have to do all this for a bulb change. Anyway, it's four screws to get the bumper off and then you're basically done... I have to drop the whole gearbox for a $10 bearing, that's 6 hours of work. This ain't shit.
I guess you had a Porsche (that gearbox/bearing issue), but my point is userfriendliness it's awufl... It is more than 4 screws... There are 3 at each side of the bumper, 2 behind the headlights and then 5 plastic at the front grill what are those called?!! Bmw 7 series, 2014 same sh*t. I am talking about road trip and doing it at the road side not garage work if you get my point.. Now try XC90 light bulb change and tell me what you think 😉 I had a lot of cars and this is very unfriendly design. P.s. sorry for my writting, it's not my first language 👍🏻
Is the same process for a s60r with xenon headlights?
The adjuster screws seem to be broken on my '08. They're still slightly adjustable, but I still can't get them exactly where they should be. My shop suggested that eventually I'll need to replace both assemblies. I hate driving at night looking like a chameleon!
Dealing with the exact same situation on my daughter’s 08 right now. Attempting to somehow fix or shim the lamp…
Do I need to remove the whole bumper to just replace the left headlight? Is it fine if I only remove a bit from that side just to let me take the headlight out...?
Hey Luis - you can definitely do that. We just removed the entire front bumper to prevent any accidental scratches or damage, and to make sure the viewers can see what we're doing!
what about the headlight washers? they come off ok but hooking them back up UGH!
Got yesterday an old 2006 VOLVO S60 2.5T with a broken plastic lights cover on the left front. Easy way to replace it without removing bumper? And .... a ENGINE SYSTEM SERVICE REQUIRED message shows out. What to do?... Hi from Alaska :)
Hi Vania, congrats on the new purchase! So long as you keep up on maintenance, that Volvo will treat you well for many years and many miles! You will have to remove the front bumper to replace the headlight on that car. As for the engine system service required, it is not an urgent message but I would bring it to your local service center to get it checked.
Bumper anchor broke, anyone know where to get a replacement
Volvo of course
Very helpful, but 10 minutes? I don't think so!
is it same on 2006 volvo s60? i have to replace old headlight to a new
Yes, it should be the same process.
can you do fog lamp tutorial as well?
Is this the same procedure for the a post-facelift P2 chassis cars? 05+ S60s?
Yep, should be the same process!
Thanks for the video. Always well done and helpful.
Do you suggest removal of headlight assembly to replace a low beam wiring harness on 2007 s60, or is there an easier way?
Its usually just the connector that fails and you can access that while that light is installed in the vehicle.
FCP Euro thanks
I am going to have to do this on our 2008 S60. Passenger low beam failed. I opened the back of the housing and the connector is melted. Bought new bulb and pigtail connector but will probably have to remove the headlight housing to have enough room to see and be able to splice in new connector. What a pain in the ass.
Scott Long
I made the repair with a new pigtail; butt spliced the wires; works like new. Took all of 10 minutes. Got lucky getting the bulb back in the socket. Usually takes a few curse words and several tries on the bulb.
Also had to adjust headlights, but again really easy.
Any questions let me know.
Good luck.
How different will it be to swap bulbs on a 2005 S80? I can't even tell where to start on this car!
Cre8tvMG I got same car how did it go bro
Does the bumper needs to be removed to replace just the glass lens? I have a 2004 S80.
Yes, the bumper will need to be removed to replace the lens.

Where can I find replacement headlight gaskets (as mentioned for lens reinstallation) to purchase?
I think butyle tape is all that is required
Is the process for removing the bumper any different for Volvo’s with the headlight wipers?
It should be the same except for disconnecting the wiper portion.
2:15 man you didn't actually show how to disconnect those connectors
I am at that stage right now and can't continue
All this for a turn signal minus well get halos and led kit too
Jesus!! So on the S80, you just pull out 2 pins above the headlight and slide the headlight assembly out. But they made it 10x more difficult for other models. Why???
😥
Is this process the same as S60R version or slightly different? And would a regular S60 healight assembly work just as well on the S60R version?
Hello Pietro, the process should be the same.
Thanks FCP Euro ,but what about the 2nd part of my question?
No, the R models have specific headlights made for that sub model.
Hi I have a headlight problem my passenger headlight doesnt work I replaced the bulbs but i noticed the clip you connect to the bulb broke off so i just use the prongs from were the clip was and connect it to the h7 bulb but it's not working, do u think i need to replace the wire?
If there's a break somewhere in the wire you'll need to replace it. You'll also want to check the electrical connector to clean out any dirt and debris.
Can someone please tell the what the rubber seal surrounding the headlight is called / part number for the same?
Where can i get it? Thanks
Unfortunately its not available separately.
@@fcpeuro what else do you have to buy to get the rubber seal
hello can you tell me is it the same to remove from a s60 2004 thank you.
Yes, it will be the same process.
FCP Euro thank you ,you save my money 👍👍👍😀😀
Followed the instructions but we still messed up….
Nice. Is this also how one would replace the light bulbs only, or is there a simpler way to do that?
The headlight won't need to be removed. You can access the bulb by removing the dust cover in back of the headlight assembly.
FCP Euro thank you!
after suffering through two changes without removing the (passenger side) assembly I swore I would remove it from now on (since I cant have my hand sewn on backwards to make it reasonably easy.)
Where is the ballest located on a 07 s60 Volvo 2.5t
In back of the headlight, #7 on the parts diagram - www.volvopartswebstore.com/showAssembly.aspx?ukey_assembly=234310&ukey_product=1108682
You need to have a degree on electrical for install a light bulb for Volvo cars
Hi.can you make a video Volvo s60 installing universal pushbutton start pls.so I can order a from your campany that pushbutton start.pls and thank you.
Unfortunately this isn't an item that we will be installing.
S80 2004 is different, and I can confirm a pain in the a$s
😥
Glass lens gasket?
butyle tape
I have a 2003 Volvo S60 just lost low beam.not a fuse
Can you help me
Before bolting everything back together, make sure the lights work, mkay.
Hi. You did it great. There is no way on Earth I could ever possibly do a front end disassembly of my car because the inside of the headlight is covered with scale. This is purposely done by Volvo to make it impossible to avoid paying a Volvo mechanic to change this. YOU are fantastic, but Volvo is devious for making the headlights inaccessible. THE WORST IS THE SERVICE LIGHT GOING OFF AT PRESET MILE MARKERS. WHAT A RACQUET! Criminal! Whoever invented that bit of bald faced extortion is going straight to hell when they die. PLUS, VOLVO SUNROOFS LEAK AND THEY KNOW IT, THEY JUST DONT WANTTO FIX IT! THEY KNOW THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED AND WEASELED THERE WAY OUT OF IT. CROOKS! PLUS, changing a cabin air filter should not require a PhD from MIT. EVERYTHING VOLVO DOES TO MAKE THEIR CARS SO DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN WILL BE THE REASON THEY GO OUTOF BUSINESS. IF I HAD A CHOICE RIGHT NOW ID GET RID OF THIS MONEY PIT. IF YOU HAVE TIME, TOOLS AND MONEY THATS AWESOME. YOU ARE IN THE ONE PERCENT. I TELL ANYONE I KNOW AT EVERY APPROPRIATE OCCASION TO NEVER BUY A VOLVO. AN S60 IS NOT A LUXURY CAR, BUT THEY CHARGE SO MUCH TO MAINTAIN IT, THEY MAY AS WELL GET A BENTLEY. YOU KNOW WHAT? SCREW VOLVO, I HAVE HAD IT WITH YOUR GREED AND EXTORTION, YOUR PURPOSEFUL AGGRAVATION AND DEVIOUS BUSINESS PRACTICE. I AM VOLV-OVER YOUR BULLSHIT! When you have to GO ONLINE TO STUDY HOW TO CHANGE THE BATTERY OF YOUR KEYFOB, YOU KNOW YOU HAVE ONE GIANT TURD OF A CAR IN YOUR DRIVEWAY!
Well... At least the lights can last years in between changes...
Damn
He is a lie y’all
