I need help on changing instrument lights on a 1998 s70, also can I purchase these bulbs at my local parts store or a volvo dealer? Thanks

I had mine replaced very recently. An independant shop did the job for me. It took about 1.5 hours of labour. Each bulb was about $6.50.

I had lost partial illumination behind the fuel gauge, the redline, and the on board computer.

thanks.

I did the job myself on my 850 in about an hour. It was pretty easy. I'm not sure if it is the same as the S70 however. Each bulb costed me about 30 cents. There is a walkthrough on how to do it on the 850 at volvospeed.com . I'd check it to see if its the same on the S70. Good luck.
