Love the community that we have for our volvos
Dude it worked a charm Thank you thankyou…
For my s60 2015 no need to use a tool to extract the bulb, only pull them out of their fixation
It worked for me. I had to switch polarity on two bulbs.
Just done it following this video thank you very much
Hi Guys, I drive the year 2016 S80 T5 Drive-E. I have just upgraded all my cabin LEDs. The T10 socket in my S80 can be detached easily without prying the wiring. I guess for newer Volvo models, Volvo has replaced the T10 socket with the detachable type. Just sharing an update experience here.
Good tip is to use a paperclip through the middle hole to push the light out. Just do circular motions and go ham with it
I tried to do it my self and ended up with no lights. I fucked everything up. Heelp
So I replaced all 4 bulbs but the two closest to the windshield are not working? I did them the same way I did the other 2. Any ideas?
Was it easy to get it off the roof to work on it?
LEDs have polarity – so, that If when you light up the DIM, they don't work, you must note which is defective, take it out, rotate it 180 degrees.
If one or more is intermittent – or always on, then you have a short somewhere – you'll have to check that you've snipped the excess wire correctly and that they all have a good connection.
thanks for the video.
replaced the bulbs but two leds are now glowing slightly even in standby/ what could be the issue?
thx!
Thanks for the help, I appreciate it. I bought some lights off of ebay and the seller advertised it as a kit with instructions. Well, they provided no instruction. I managed to get 7 of the 9 LEDs to work (thanks to this video). The only two that I can figure out are the two that are forward (in the car) of the two lit at 3:05 of your video. I replaced them as your video showed. I also rotated them 180 degrees and they don't light up. Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated.
Didnt need to do all this shit on my 2016 xc60 lux nav. Has push in 501/w5w bulbs took 2mins to change and looks great…..Simples!
Had me fuck been trying to rip these out all morning lol. Thanks
Hi, can you advise what led's I require to update all interior lights on my 2008 V70
Will this work on all year Volvo s60? I have a 2012…. this would look awesome!
Do i have to change all the bulbs? I change the first 2, now the last 2 + the 2 in the back doesnt work…
I tackled this today. All overhead light and as well as the trunk and under the dash. Need one more light for the glove box and figure out how to change vanity lights. This took about 2 hours as was a pain in the neck…and fingers. Thanks for the video!
from where do you got the L.E.D's?
