Hi very informative. You showed the left side indicator bulb turn anti clockwise to undo. On the right hand side you didn't say which way to turn it to release. The reason I mention it, is that I broke mine trying to turn it anti clockwise, when it needed to be turned clockwise (on my car at least) - 2003 V70.

I would be interested to know which way it is on your car.

thanks

hi, thanks for pointing out. I went to check and all four covers (both side) tighten/untighten like regular screws, that is counterclockwise to untighten, clockwise to tighten back. Mention this is a 2003 S60 model with the glass headlights, interesting you mention the V70 is the other way around, I'll put a note in the video

Thanks for the video (as mentioned above).
I respectfully suggest adding a thin, even smear of silicone or dielectric grease to the big "O" rings of the bulb holders AND to the bulb base.

It's often overlooked and really helps in removing/installing the holder and reducing electrical resistance respectively. Kira
