    Let's just say it's easier/faster or so I thought to change a burned out fog light bulb on the 670 I drive.
    Tried taking the front cover off with the 2 screws which did nothing. Are these adjustment screws?
    There is no access from the back like a headlight. What's the secret?
    Thanks

    Is it different than the 780? Just replaced the bulb in mine. You have to undo the two bolts on the inside facing the radiator and slide the assembly out the front, then you just swap out the bulb and put it back in.

    It looks like you can swap out bulbs.
    My problem is how do you get the assembly out of the bumper?
    I loosened the two screws in the face of the foglight but it won't pull out of the bumper. Do I need to pry the housing out with a screwdriver after loosening the bolts?

    I don't see any bolts on the back so the 780 must be different

    Bolts are on inside, not back. And after you change bulb, make sure you adjust it. Those two bolts on the face of assembly.

    I'll give it a shot. those allen head screws on the face take forever to back out. Either that or the nut holding them in is stripped and the screw just spins when you back them out. You'd think you back out the screws and the assembly will pop right out. It is a Volvo I guess
