Rear light Volvo 240/260 (US) (1979-84)

Dim or flickering rear lights on a US-spec 240/260 can point to oxidized contact surfaces and cracked circuit boards in the taillight rather than blown bulbs. The US cars 1979–84 have their own lamp layout compared with the European versions, so circuit boards, bulb sockets and taillights should be chosen by the correct version so that contacts and mounting points line up.
