2005 XC70 Headlight Bulb replacement

Darkside · Apr 25th, 2019, 10:43

Hi All,

I've had the NS dipped beam fail, and it's the HID lamps. I've read that these are D2R bulbs, so I picked one up and hope to fit it very soon.

I have a couple of questions first though:
Is that the right bulb?
Can this be done by just removing the Airbox?
Do I need to take the bumper off?

Thanks in advance of any useful advice!

Chris

You don’t need to take the bumper off, can’t remember if I needed to take the air box off or not.

Airbox needs to come off unless you have tentacles for fingers.
