Replacing Brake Light (Right Side) V70-XC70

My right brake light on my '98 V70 is out. I recall seeing instructions as to how to change this but I can't find them in the archives or on Bay 13. Could someone help me out by referring me to a site or providing direction? Thanks in advance.

    I received two instructions for replacing a brake light on my Volvo wagon (V70). One suggestion was to open the trunk and remove the light housing. I think the suggestion applied to a sedan. The other suggestion says to remove the tweeter grill and then take out the brake light housing. This one sounds correct. Can someone corraborate this?

    Thanks...sorry to be so ignorant about this stuff, but I want to fix it myself.

    The brake light is underneath the tweeter. Remove the tweeter grill by prying off. There are two push type locking pins that hold the tweeter assembly into the housing. Pull the pins out towards the front of the car and the tweeter should release. Reach in and release the plastic light assembly and pull it out of the opening. Change the bulb and you are done. Make sure you have a bad buld and not a bad connection.

    Open trunk, remove access cover, unclip the bulb holder thing, replace bulb, reverse procedure. It's pretty straight forward, and you'll understand what to do once you're in there. The owners manual has a diagram that shows the bulb locations (& type), or just have someone press on brake to determine bulb that is out.
