Sitting for a while, and a instrument bulb question 850 1996

Hello All -
After a year of Fulbright Scholar-ing in Germany, I'm back in the States with my 850 GLT, who has been sitting (more or less) for 10 months. My mother drove it maybe 250 miles in the time. Before I got back the oil was changed, the tires rotated and balanced, and the A/C was charged (it has a very slow leak.)

I noticed that the odometer and trip stopped worked, and I already have the gears ordered. While I have the instruments out I was going to change the bulbs (though none are burned out) and take out the Service bulb. Could anyone give me the bulb numbers for purchase at the local auto parts store? I have the part numbers (and instrument removal instructions) from volvospeed, but I want to just go buy the bulbs at Autozone or Pep Boys or whatever... I couldn't find an answer to this in the archives.

Also, any suggestions as to things that should be done after sitting for so long? My parents had to charge the battery once, but it's started up now every time and I don't notice a thing wrong when driving her. The fluids all look great, and the belts and hoses look tight as well. Any general suggestions though would be much appreciated.

It's nice to be back, although the German license plate looks silly with the requisite Maryland one underneath it. *sigh*
