[Lexman8]

Found this info in a tech doc. Might be useful to someone. Translated via Google but you get the gist.

Lighting, rear S90
General
Rear lighting on the S90 is fitted with LED and incandescent bulbs.
All bulbs are replaceable as opposed to LED lights that are not interchangeable.
H21 bulbs are possible to change for the owner. Bulbs marked "hypervision ' 24 W can only be changed after the lamp module has been dismounted and therefore requires the shop visit.
Dim the light that is placed on a separate part of the trunk and can be found either on the left or right side and then on the same side as the steering wheel. On the page that does not have fog lights is a lampattrapp placed.

I have had a gander on the S90, seems the pax side light will be easy to remove to swap out bulbs, but drivers side is behind boot lining with no removable cover, sheesh, talk about wringing customers out of money, can't change a bulb without a visit to dealer.

Even the rear fog light, replacement of that is a nightmare, boot lid liner off!! Why not just have a removable cover???

Not only that but those Hypervision bulbs seem to be just incandescents with a unique base for which you have to take out a small mortgage to buy a replacement.

If I get round to it I'm going to swap them out for LED versions

Hi All

Someone cracked my taillight yesterday. No information by Volvo on how to change it and no videos etc on the web. I can see that in order to change the taillight one will need to remove the bumper. Does this then mean that the cars ADAS has to be recalibrated?

A friend of mine had a second gen Renault Mégane in 2004 (the one with the stick out arse) and if I recall correctly, the bumper had to be removed to change the bulbs on that, and it was such an involved job with various dependencies that it was considered a dealer job.

These things are either an excuse to screw the customer out of money and stop them doing home maintenance, or really shockingly bad design choices.
