enough room to unscrew and remove the cannister that holds the bulb. do
you have to remove the battery? am i just being a dope?

I have a 2001 XC70 and I did my best, cracked my knuckles a couple times
and then took it to the dealer saying that I tried but couldn't do it.
They do all my service, so they do it for nothing. I had the same
problem with the left rear brake light. I don't know who designs these
things, but they must not change their own lamps.

Thanks Stephen! While it's disheartening to find you can't even change
a lightbulb on your car
anymore, it is encouraging to hear I wasn't the only one having a
problem!
