Taillight Installation on a 1991 Volvo Wagon

Replace the taillights of your 1991 Volvo station wagon with new PB17916 dual filament bulbs if one stops working. You can buy these bulbs at any auto parts store, and they are usually in-stock items. You wont need any tools, and you can access the spent bulbs from the cargo area of the car through an access panel directly behind the lights. On some models, you may need to remove the spare tire to open the right-side access panel.

Instructions

    1

    Open the rear lift gate of your Volvo wagon and locate the access panel just inside the gate opening directly behind each taillight in the cargo area. Turn the two retaining clips on the access panel to open it.

    2

    Locate the bulb holder inside the access hole and release the retaining clips on either side of the holder. Pull the holder straight out of the taillight housing and turn it so the bulbs are facing you.

    3

    Push in slightly on the bulb while rotating it counterclockwise, then remove it from the holder and discard it. Install a new BP17916 bulb; press in on the bulb and rotate it clockwise to lock it in place.

    4

    Insert the bulb holder into the back of the taillight assembly, pushing it in until the locking tabs snap in place. Close the access panel and turn the two retaining clips to secure the cover.

    5

    Close the rear lift gate and test the repair by turning on the headlight switch or pushing the brake pedal while someone monitors the taillight function.
