Digital clock and temp gauge bulb 850 1994

Hello,
I would like to replace the bulb on the clock/temp gauge. Is it difficult? How and where do I start? Waiting for easy fix.

    where can you get the bulb kits as my 96 digi clock doesn't light up either and has some dim area's on the dash. Does the kit include all of the warning lights, i think my check engine light is actually burnt out as well.

    Well, it's not an easy fix, but it's also not that difficult. I give it a 5/10 on the difficulty scale. You really can't mess up anything except perhaps scratching the instrument "glass", so make sure to protect it exactly as the BAY-13 instructions say to (see link below). If you're halfway handy with a screwdriver, the job can be done in an hour. Like the other post says, consult with your Volvo parts counter ahead of time and go ahead and replace all the bulbs.

    Difficult? No, but time consuming. The entire dash top has to be removed to allow the instrument panel to come forward. You then access the bulbs from behind. Typically all the bulbs are replaced at this time and are sold as a kit. To remove the dash top, you will find screws on the top of the instrument panel, under the speaker grills (pop off) and behind some vents....

      So where does one get this "bulb kit" and about how much does it cost?

      I may be buying a 94 850T and it has a couple dash bulbs out. And come to think of it, does the kit include bulbs for the seat heater switches?

        The "kit" is sold by Volvo dealerships only. It includes illumination bulbs only, not the warning lamps. Regarding the heater switches, '94 Models cannot replace bulbs in the rocker switches. Hard to believe, but true. Volvo addressed this issue the following year with rocker switches that have replaceable bulbs. When I purchased my '94 I had ALL the rocker switches replaced with the newer design.
