V70 front fog lights

[blujay10]

Front fog lights full of condensation so I just wonfdered if there was an easy way to dry them out.
Looked at the manual but looks rather tricky to remove the bulb? Any help greatly appreciated, thank you!

not sure about the facelift models but the early stuff isn't too hard to get the bulb out.
anti-clockwise twist and you're there.
Park the car half up on a path or roll it up on some bricks and slide under.

Or if you fancy going all out, it takes 10 minutes to get the bumper off.

No problem. If you want me to post instructions for getting the bumper off, I'd be happy to oblige - it's handy for getting at things like the alarm siren and washer pump too. As well as cleaning the a/c radiator.

How different is the V70 front bumper from a 2000 C70? I need to take my bumper off as one of the fogs has a smashed lens. All of the instructions I've found on the web don't have any pictures. I've had the replacement fog for ages but still not got round to fitting it.

The C70 is a coupe version of the older P1 (pre '99) V70. From what I've seen, it's a real ball-ache to get off.

I'll check the forums and find you a how-to.

Try this - it's for a V70 but will be the same.

Ok tried to tackle this at the weekend - impossible!
Its a facelift 2010 model and looks like there are 4 clips that need to be pressed at the same time?
Anybody any idea if there is an easier way to change the bulbs?
