2000 S70, light bulb behind engine temp/speedometer is out

I'm afraid to ask, but that's not the easiest to get to for replacement, is it?

The dash cover will have to come off in order to get to the instrument panel. Follow the following write up for the odometer gear to get the instrument panel out: https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/odometer_fix.php
Then follow the information here about the actual bulbs you need to replace the burned out bulb. http://forums.swedespeed.com/zerothread?id=91687
Even though the 850 and S70 are a bit different, the basics are the same.

Thanks MIJ. Can you please confirm the 2nd URL in your post?

It's confirmed to work. Great write-up with pictures!

Sorry MIJ, I meant the 2nd link is the same as the 1st. Shouldn't the second have been about bulb replacement?

Oops...you are absolutely correct. I've edited my post and changed the 2nd like to the originally intended link.

Hoping that someone can help me w/a quick answer. Called my local Volvo dealer to find out and purchase the bulbs for behind the dashboard. The service tech I spoke with "didn't know" what size bulbs, or even how many I would need. Does anyone know the size and quantity I'll need? Only want to remove the dash once! Thanks all...
