Replacing Side Marker Light Bulb

Model: Volvo Xc90 MK 1 - Years 2002-2014
Part: Side marker bulb

Here are a few simple steps to replace the side marker light bulb on your Volvo XC90. At the bottom of the side light assembly, there is a small slot to insert a flathead screwdriver to release the retaining clip.
