I went to Rusty Wallace Honda here in Knoxville today and purchased 5 of the 35505-s84-no1 bulbs today. I am happy to tell you that they were only $1.70 each. So my total with tax was $9.29.
Now I have lights for all of my radio and I can see what button I am pushing.

Does anyone happen to know if there are any sources for replacement bulbs behind the switches on a V70 - the funny looking long white ones? The Volvo prices seem like such a ripoff.

I already knew I could get them at the dealer. I was hoping these were something I could pickup elsewhere. The link to Swede Speed says they are a Volvo only item :(

I don't think the long ones are really necessary. I tried the normal Honda short ones and I can't see any significant difference in switch brightness.

Do you have a part number for these bulbs?

It's on here somewhere. but you don't really need it. Just go to a Honda parts counter and tell them you want a micro-bulb for a Honda clock. They'll know what it is. $2.60 ea.
