    Thanks so much! Tired of continually paying shops to replace rear & front bulbs. Out of all the tutorial KZread videos, I think, Sir, your's are the best. Why? Because you're direct, concise, short but informative & they make sense to the layman (or laywoman in this case). Others I've seen are 9-12+ mins long, don't offer verbal "how-to's" while music plays in the background...lame, lame, lame. This particular video is the 2nd time I've referred to you & I appreciate your providing us with your understandable & to-the-point instructions. I have a stellar 2001 S60 & because my lights are in the on position, they fail more often than not. Plus from what I understand, Volvos/electrical issues often go hand in hand...sometimes even in the case of perpetually failing bulbs. Regardless of the reason, one can be changing break, tail, turning, etc. lights too many times....again, paying a shop to replace at way over-inflated costs. Thank you, thank you, thank you. All The Best---

    Hello Robert, I have replaced the brake, turn, & tail lights several times but still have this symptom: the bulb failure lights on the dash when I brake and the side brake lights don't work, only the center brake light does. When I have the headlights on, whenever I brake and have the turn signal on, the turn signal and bulb failure on the dash flash at double speed. Do you know what this is a symptom of and how to fix it??
