my 1995 855 has too many burnt lights in panels and its driving me nuts. The climate lights are all out as of today, the left side of the lower portion of the radio losing equalizer and mem. 1-2-3, and my computer light in the dash...the rest are good.

Any tricks to open and replace these bulbs. or live with it.

Cheers.

I think you can check out the instructions w/pics on www.volvospeed.com bay13

What i do to stop the bulbs from burning out too soon is just turn down the dimmer to about 75% brightness, and if I have my headlights(I turned off my DRL's the same day I bought the car) on during the day....I dim the dash lights down to zero.

I have replaced the lamps in my radio on the S70 and posted my notes a few weeks ago. There was another post on this for the 850 in the archives. He had a different radio that I did so there are some differences in his post and mine. I also have some pictures that I took on the process but I haven't figured out how to post them here. In short, it's about 2 hours to replace all the radio interior lights and you can get the bulbs at your local radio shack. I would suggest that you do the same and replace them all since they all have about the same life span. The bulbs are very small and you may need a magnifying glass to insert them in the bulb housing. Post or send me your email address and I will send the pictures.

Thanks for the replies...
