Has anyone found a good source to buy those little bulbs that light up the climate control / radio / etc? Don't feel like paying 13 bux a pop at a Volvo dealer for a 40 cent LED.

This is going to take some research. A company named 12velectrics, I think, had 40,000 of them, but they're all gone and the clerk told me they can't get any more. I got the last 2. Hopefully, another source will be discovered :?

Ooh, that's not good. I could check salvage yards for replacements, but I was hoping to replace all of 'em and give the dash that showroom new look that shiny dashboards bring (since I'm gonna be in there anyways) :)

Check this out...it's right on this site. I bought the Honda bulbs - they aren't quite as bright but they fit ok. They have been working fine for over a year.

Saw that, but I figured it was just for the 850. Good to know it's good for an S60 too! Thanks!
