Disconnect Battery:
Always start by disconnecting the battery before working on any electrical component. This will prevent any accidental power surges. For the Volvo 940, you can access the battery in the engine compartment. Use a wrench to loosen and remove the negative (black) terminal.
Remove Headlight Cover:
Open the hood of your vehicle and locate the plastic headlight cover. It is typically secured by a few screws or plastic clips. Remove the cover carefully to expose the headlight assembly.
Remove Headlight Bulb:
Inside the headlight assembly, you'll see the headlight bulb secured with a metal retaining ring. Turn or push (depending on the mechanism) the retaining ring counterclockwise to unlock and remove it. Then, carefully pull out the old headlight bulb from its socket.
Install New Headlight Bulb:
Before installing the new headlight bulb, inspect it to ensure it's the right size and type for your Volvo 940. Gently insert the new bulb into the socket and turn or push the retaining ring clockwise until it clicks into place.
Reattach Headlight Cover:
Once the new bulb is secured, reinstall the headlight cover. Make sure to align it properly and secure it with screws or clips.
Reconnect Battery:
Reconnect the negative terminal of the battery to complete the replacement process.
Remember that while the steps above provide a general outline, it's essential to consult the owner's manual or a reliable repair guide for your specific Volvo 940 model for exact instructions and precautions.
