Replacing the Kick Plate Light Bulb

Model: Volvo S40 MK 1 - Years 1995-2004
Part: Light bulb

Near the driver's footwell, there is a bulb that illuminates the footwell area: to replace this bulb, detach the transparent plastic lens that also serves as the lamp holder, disconnect the original bulb (known as a bayonet fitting), and insert the new one before reattaching the lens. You may also opt for an LED bulb: in this case, ensure it lights up; otherwise, it must be rotated 180 degrees as LEDs have a polarity that must be respected.
