I used this write up when I replaced mine last month. http://www.volvoxc.com/forums/showth...ht+replacement
I purchased the light from IPD

All you have to do is drop the small shields under the lights on both sides, then install the new lens assms.
The IPD ones are aftermarket and pricey considering you can get used factory volvo ones from Erie VOVO for around $45-50 ea.
I have installed used ones in the past.

Eventually, I did this repair myself and while it is a fiddly job to complete especially on the passenger side, it is not difficult. I did it from underneath. The side air baffle (or shield) and the centre air baffle both need to be removed for the passenger side replacement while removing just the side air baffle will work on the driver side. The side air baffles are held on by one Torx screw and a clip. The centre air baffle is held on by a 10mm bolt on each side and two clips that will need a flat screw driver to release. Like a lot of XC70 jobs, it takes way too much longer to complete than it should.
Dropping bumper ondo two bolts wind out clip on each side close to wheel arch, disconnect wiring harness from each fog lamp rear. Lift off bumper all of 5 - 10 mins!

I need to replace the passenger fog light bulb. Do I need to do the same thing?
Just the bulb requires removing the 2 Torx screws and small cover under the bumper to access the turn to remove bulb socket
