2000 V70XC Replaced the switch Bulbs!

Post by cvergi01 »

I Just wanted to say thanks again for all the help getting my car back to new!

I bought 20 of these mini bulbs (#7219) at http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/JKL ... b0%252bFL3 for $15....Shipped!!!

All in all it took me about 1.5 hours to pull 5 switches along with the stereo and replace 9 bulbs (4 in the stereo). If you haven't seen a writeup yet, this is a nice easy one to follow for the switch bulbs: https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums ... =1&t=67244
This thread says that you can't rebuild the radio lights, but it worked fine for me!

This one is how to get the radio apart:

Love it, this has been on my list for a while. Great job!

That looks like a boost gauge on your pillar, what unit is that?

Its a glowshift tinted 7 color : http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/tinted-7 ... gauge.aspx

I can't remember who make the suction cup gauge holder, but I got it from amazon.

Works great, I like the color changing part. You can adjust it for the changing daylight.
