Does anyone know if the light bulb for the trip computer is replaceable? My just went dead and I was just curious before I start digging into it. Somehow I got a feeling that the bulb is part of the whole assembly!

Mine goes out... then I give the dash a bump with my fist and it come back. Really... I'm serious. It's the way its seated I gues.. :roll:

Try it with yours first because getting to those bulbs is tough.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

my 98 v70 gear selector lights are out now if i hit it i can find the sweet spot and it comes on until i hit a big bump or i shut down the car, when i turn back on, light is off, i think the bulbs gone and im temporarily causing the filaments to make contact

precisely about the filaments making momentary contact. The replacement is not that bad. Volvospeed directions help a lot. Replace all the bulbs you can when you do it.
