Default 850 Gear Light

Ok I'm having a annoying problem. I keep on looking for this via either this site or the net and they are all giving me different answers.

The Gear Indicator Light is blown, which is kinda annoying late at night when I dont really wanna think . So far I either find one light bulb or some sort of bulb with a attachment for this, so my question is what light should I be buying. I'm hoping its the one which is just the bulb so I can go down to the local Advanced Auto Parts and rip my console up, instead of waiting on a order.

If there is a link for this kinda thing can someone paste it up for me 'cause I must of missed it ><! Man I miss my old car.... lol Friggin' Black Ice!!

Go to a volvo dealer parts manager and ask for the bulb. Here is a link for removing the center console: http://volvospeed.com/Repair/Microswitch.php

I pulled the old bulb out of the socket and soldered a Radio Shack 272-1092 lamp back into the base. The Radio Shack lamps sell for around $1.79 for a 2 pack. The same style lamp illuminates the ring around the cigarette lighter.
