Not a biggie but my headlamp bulb has burned out...its an easy replacement...can someone pls tell me the type of bulb it is? I kinda remember its either an H7 or an H9...TIA..Just tried to add a Sig. pic...

 

If anyone could point me to a reference to specifications charts for the 850 that might be a great help... Thanks...

 

Hopefully this helps.

No help ...it lead me to a server error so i have not viewed the link...well I guess the other way to do it is take the bulb out nd go to the automotive stores.............................

 

When I headed to AutoZone, they had a book hanging on the rack with the spec's for the cars. Just had to look up the Volvo and found 'em.

 

well the lack of information from here led me to just go to NAPA and I just matched it up...it does say its a 9006 bulb...so its in and we're done here............

 

9006 for lowbeam/driving lights, 9005 for the high beams

 

Sorry the link did not work. I could have just put 9006. But the link I tried to put showed what every bulb in the car was from top to bottom.

 

Trying the link again.

Thanks for that...I'm sure i'll be referring back to this in the future. So how can I add a pic of my car at the bottom of my posts like you have?

 

You will have to paste the link in the signature from your profile.
You can use a site like photobucket or one of those.

 

Thanks... I tried that but perhaps i didnt do it right...will give it another shot.

 

If you cannot do it let me know and I will try to walk you through it.

 

Thanks...i have Photobucket and I know how to copy and paste the image code but it wont upload...says invalid file

 

Ok in the sig section copy your direct link from the picture you want to use. Then in the sig area click on the little yellow symbol that looks like it has a mountain. Then paste your link and click ok and see if it works.

 

The sig box I see has no such icon witha mtn on it. I jjust uploaded an image from my computer and evn made a signature...but i dont see it in my posts...perhaps i need to start a new thread? Oh theres the text part of the sig...

 

Does your Sig area look like mine in the pic below?
If so I have a black arrow pointing to what you need to click on to paste the link.

 

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner...however the sig. box I observed did not look like yours...wonder why?

 

this is my view...

The link is not working. If you can take a screen shot(Print screen) then open paint and paste it in there and save it. Then upload it to photobucket. Then use the same method to insert the pic in this post as I said to do for your sig.
