Re: Climate Control backlighting

Bill, Many thanks. I can't tell you how much time I've spent trying to get that info. I will proceed to one of the sponsors to purchase the bulbs.

Climate Control backlighting

2000 Volvo V40 1.9T U.S. The bulbs in the dash for my climate controls are burnt out and I can't find the part number.
