Interior lights 850 1993

I believe that the lights on the switches for 93's and 94's are intergrated into the swithes themselves (soldered in) and from 95 on had separate bulbs. Also, unfortunately, even if you buy the newer switches the plug on yours will be different and the bulb still won't work because there's no power to that part of your plug. I think they call this phenomenon "planned obsolesance" meaning Volvo wants you to but a new switch from them. Maybe someone else has some input on the feasability of soldering in new bulbs to your existing switches. All I know is they're @#$%^&* tiny. Best of luck!
