Need Instrument Culster Bulb

I'm trying to replace a bulb in the instrument cluster, the one that goes behind the odometer (says grey on the cluster). I tried to order a set on ebay but apparently I got the wrong ones. The part I have has a grey base with a bulb that is not intended to be removed. When I search on online I only see the type with the removable bulb and the slots on the sides of the bulb base - mine does not have those slots. Any help on where to get the right part would be much appreciated!
I should note that I have a 2002 s60.

The grey ones I believe are 2w T5 socket bulbs. The grey base does remove if it's the kind below, just pull with a cloth on the glass bulb. A scrapyard comes handy for these things

It's tough to do, but the bulbs do come straight up and out of the holders. Since they were burned out on mine, I used a pair of pliers to crush the bulb and pull it out, as it is difficult to get enough purchase on the bulb with one's fingertips.

Also, you can get the bulbs at a regular auto parts store for about $2 for a pair, no need to get the Volvo original ones at a very high price. Bring in the old ones to match it up.
