Interior/Dash Light Bulb Replacement 850SW

Post by GrowinKids »

Matthew solved my first problem. THANKS!
Now for the 2nd one.

On my 97 850 SW, the light for my shifter and illumination for my clock are out. I checked the fuses, no soap. I'm guessing I have to replace the bulb(s) -- any advice on how to do that?

Thanks! GrowinKids

Lights in general:
Volvo may have skimped on the quality in regards to light bulbs in the car. Recommendation: replace with the best ones you can find (not that there's a rainbow of tiny bulb quality out there, but you know what I mean).
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!
