All the original Volvo OEM bulbs had a silver base. Much higher quality IMO.
The 1073 is a European version of our 1156 and/or 1157 bulb.

When Volvo started using the bulb failure system on 240's a lot of people would replace a silver base bulb with a generic yellow base bulb and the bulb warning light would stay on. The resistance was different on the yellow base bulbs so you had to use the silver base bulb to get the light to go out.
