This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the first generation (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015,
2016 and 2017) Volvo XC60 SUV in changing a burnt out map or dome
light bulb in the overhead console. Owners of other Volvo vehicles such as the XC90, XC70, S80, S90, S60, S40, V90, V70, V60 and V40 may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. The compatible replacement miniature wedge base light bulb is part number 168 available from various manufacturers such as Sylvania, GE, Eiko and PIAA. You may also use any other miniature wedge base bulbs such as the 2825, 2821, 194 or a brighter LED unit. The only tool needed to access and replace the light bulbs is a plastic automotive panel removal tool or a flathead screwdriver. |

To prevent from
scratching the plastic surfaces or ripping the headliner fabric, you can
either cover the tip of your flathead screwdriver with a thin micro fiber
cloth or use a plastic automotive pry
bar tool. Insert the blade of the pry bar tool in between the edge of the plastic overhead console and the fabric headliner. Gently pull down the overhead console to release the four friction clip fasteners. Re-insert the the panel removal tool at each corner of the overhead console until all four clips have been released. Try to avoid using excessive force, the friction fasteners should pop out relatively easily. |
