1996 850R Instrument Cluster Lights (While Fixing Odometer Gear)

Post by wackenhut »

Hi,

I have seen a lot of posts regarding changing the instrument cluster lights while fixing the odometer gear. The 4 main lights seem to be easy to purchase at a local store, however I need some assistance with purchasing a dummy light for the ABS and then the two lights for the clock/LCD trip display.

If anyone can help that would be great. Please let me know where to buy (or if volvo specific), and then what exact bulbs for each.

Thank you!

A 'dummy' light for the ABS? If the ABS is faulty, why not get the ABS module fixed? Now, the Service light bulb should be pulled out.
I purchased rice grain sized bulbs for the clock at Radio Shack, you can probably find a few on the WWW.

If I had a larger garage, I could have more Volvos.

All of those cluster bulbs are the same, including the clock. Swap one of the idiot bulbs into the clock to convince yourself.
