I think that you need to replace the whole lot as the Amber lens is not replaceable on it's own. Of course, if any of you know better..... fine, no problem. Have a happy Yuletide over there.

All the best, Peter.

That's correct, only clear is available separately, seems to fall off most often. Mine just fell off a few days ago but it happened when I closed the trunk lid so I was able to simply glue it back on.

You can often find repair kits at auto parts stores, where you can make a patch for the hole in the lens. The appearance is not quite up to that of a new part even if done well, and can look really bad if done poorly.

FYI information. What I have learned.

  1. Only clear replacement back up lens offered seperately.
  2. Both OEM and aftermarket entire light units offered for sale
  3. Price varies greatly for same item. Web search turned up the following: New aftermarket unit 0 at local independent Volvo shop, at FCPGroton, not offered by IPD and on ebay. I ordered from ebay source. OEM unit was 5 at FCPGroton. Probably OEM would be better build and does come with sockets if needed. If the ebay unit turns out to be poor quality I will let you know.
